God gave Eve another Word concerning this posting. Please see below: The Lord impressed me to update this blog post. Isaiah 46:4 (TPT) – “Even as you grow old and your hair turns gray, I’ll keep carrying you! I am your Maker and your Caregiver. I will carry you and be your Savior.” Prayer: Father, thank you for taking care of me even when I failed to care for myself. I admit that I slack at doing my part and I take full responsibility for my actions. I promise not to be a heavy load as You carry me, and Read More

Telling My Story: 63 Years of Reflections
Today I am telling my story. My story started on June 17, 1956. Today is my 63rd birthday. In celebration, I am reflecting on my 63 years of life. To do this, I am using one of the songs from the Hamilton Musical, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story. The song starts like this: “Let me tell you what I wished I’d known when I was young and dreamed of glory you have no control, who lives, who dies, who tells your story.” There is a lot of truth in this statement and a few lessons to be Read More
God: Pro-choice or Pro-life? Choose LIFE!
God is all about LIFE. I read a Facebook post the other day which nearly made me want to rant. The Holy Ghost said, be slow to speak, in other words, practice James 1:19. He reminded me just as Jesus said of those who were killing him, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” I am always very careful about saying what God said and what He meant when He said it. God reminded me that my job is to ‘lovingly educate’. This article said God is Pro-choice because He gave us free will to Read More
Purpose: Five Ways to Defeat a Defeated Spirit
Today I want to teach you how to defeat a defeated spirit. I enjoy teaching about purpose and plans. So many people are stuck, lost, or simply roaming the earth without the slightest idea of why they are here. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “ He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy].” You do not have to live with a defeated spirit. Here are five things to consider: God’s got you. He Read More
Hear and Obey:What Did the Deaf Man Hear?
God wants us to hear and obey. In other words ‘Shema’. There is a Hallmark movie called, What the Deaf Man Heard. The premise of the story is that a young man pretended to be deaf when he actually heard everything that was being said around him. He knew all of the town’s secrets. Listen up; you need to hear this. God will not move you up the ladder of promotion beyond your last act of disobedience. God does not want us to be like the supposedly deaf man; He wants us to truly hear Him and obey Him. When God Read More
Learning: I Can Do All Things
Learning can be a difficult task especially if you are trying to learn something which you are not particularly fond of. I was recently tasked with a new job (additional responsibility). This responsibility has to do with accounts payable and it is not something I ever wanted to do or felt that I would be good at. But I have learned, that I can do it if I am diligent. Learning is defined as, “the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or by being taught”. I have always considered myself to be a life-long learner. I love education and the Read More
