It’s Fall, Y’all: Seasons Change
I love fall weather. Seasons change, be ready to change with them. Changing seasons remind me of God’s faithfulness to lead us out of our pain into a new season. God in His goodness gives us a picture of His love towards us in the changing of the seasons. Green leaves give way to the beautiful majestic colors of red, orange, purple, yellow, and sometimes pink. What a beautiful picture of God’s faithfulness. One of the chapters in the book (10 Life Lessons from the Book of Ruth) I am currently writing is called: Be Ready to Change With The Season Here’s Read More
Forever Grateful: Created to Praise Him
I am forever grateful for the cross and that He came to seek and save the lost. Giving thanks to God, for His mercy endures forever. Aren’t you glad that He did not wait for us to cry out to Him, but He came looking for us? Aren’t you forever grateful for all that He does for you every day? Even the little things. I was telling one of my library patrons that God is not just good some of the time; He is good all the time. I am forever grateful about that TRUTH. I take nothing for granted. Not the air Read More
Feasts and Festivals: Meet Him There
Celebrating the feasts and festivals of the Lord is not common among Christians. In my house, we celebrate (Pesach) Passover. As a Christian, I think it is important to understand why God created these feasts and festivals and what the significance is for Christians. God specifically gave these instructions to the Jews: “Three times a year you shall celebrate a festival to me” (Exodus 23:14). These three appointments were Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles). In addition to these three, God added four additional times of celebration in Leviticus 23, thereby making a total of seven celebrations. Matzah (Unleavened Read More
Survival Strategies: Listening (Get Understanding)
My number two survival strategy is listening. You can play all the music, read all the Word, and pray all the time; however, if you never stop to listen to the voice of God, you have already lost the battle. God speaks and He expects us to listen. Sometimes we are so caught up in the problem we forget to listen for the solution. We try to figure it out on our own, usually making the situation worst. I often wonder why people think God listens to our prayers, but we never consider that He also speaks to us. Conversation Read More
Focus: Game Changer or Plan Killer?
Focus can be a game changer for your busy week. However, broken focus will most likely lead to disaster. It can be a plan killer. I’ve had a very busy week and stressful week. Our Fall semester starts on Monday and I’ve been working diligently trying to get stuff ready for the incoming students. This week has also been filled with meetings and more meetings. I have been truly relying on the Holy Spirit to help me focus and to bring things to my remembrance (John 14:26). I ‘ve put my life in His care of me this week and He has Read More
