I always would justify my need for control by saying I was just trying to make sure everything was good for everyone.  I was the fixer in the family. I thoughtContinue reading “Letting Go of Control”

I was reading Psalms 150 this morning and this verse came to mind. God knew what I needed to hear this morning. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. If we take our focus off Him and look atContinue reading “Trusting and Praising”

God wants all of you! Your mind and body, Romans 12:1-2I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Psalm 91 1:2 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress my God, in whom I trust.” The pastor used this scripture reference at my mom’s memorial yesterday and gave the illustration of aContinue reading “He is My Strength”

I love the sweet promises in these verses. If we hold fast to Jesus and love His Word He will deliver us and protect us. When we call Him He will answer! Isn’t it wonderful that there are no busy signals when we call on God? He is always on time. We just have toContinue reading “Sweet Promises”

Tonight I drove with tears streaming down my face crying out to Jesus for Help. I found myself sitting in front of my church, wishing I could go in. I felt drawn to it, for I know that God is truly in that place. As I sat in the parking lot wishing I could goContinue reading “Seek Him”

  Have you ever felt so broken that you bend down to pick up the pieces only to have them break even more? You stand there in the middle of your pain, wondering how you got there. The truth is that so many roads may bring us to this point; it is different for allContinue reading “Broken”
