Do not fear. It is easy to be afraid when we are going through trials. Yet, throughout the Bible, we are told not to fear. This past few weeks, fear reared its ugly head several times. I had to purposefully take a step back, cry out to God for help, and trust God. I was…

We are His ambassadors!!! As I was in the hospital this week, God kept bringing this to mind. I am His ambassador. I need to act like it. 2 Corinthians 5:20, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled…

How many times did we hear “Eyes on me” in a classroom growing up and maybe even from our parents? This morning, I am headed back to the specialist for an emergency appointment as a chronic issue has reared its ugly head. It is a fairly new issue for which I am uncertain of the…

Smile. Yup, that is the tip for the day. Short, sweet, and simple. Smile. A smile can change someone else’s day. A smile can change your day, or your perspective of the day. Philippians 4:4 “4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!”  The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982),…

Sometimes, the storms just keep coming and coming and coming. It seems as if it is too much. We get weary. Do you feel it? Rest in the storm, my friend. Rest. This morning, I read Mark 4. The end of the chapter tells of Jesus going with the disciples in a boat. Jesus falls…

It’s a happy day, and I’m living it for my Lord. It’s a happy day, and things are going to…

We have mentioned before that what we hear, think, and speak can actually affect our brain’s neuro pathways. “You become what you think about.” Recently, God has brought two different studies to light on this. I must share them. It can be very easy for those of us who are isolated to struggle with our…

Do your best. A recent doctor’s appointment added another set of daily processes to my list, protocols to help me maintain baseline health. This may not seem like a big deal, but the list is becoming quite lengthy with allergy abatement (food prep, loads of laundry, deep cleaning), physical/occupational/speech/breathing/TMJ therapies, protocols for pesky eye and…

Winter is here. Ice and snow everywhere with frigid temps where I am. There doesn’t seem to be any sign that it will let up any time soon. So, we tend to be stuck inside more which can be hard. The days can be long. There is hope. This is a season; it will pass.…
