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
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
Self-doubts and Other Lies
Listen. What are you hearing? Lies, self-doubts, whispers from the enemy? I want to offer some encouragement to those of you who are having doubts about your calling. This has been a rough year for a lot of people. Jobs have been lost, loved ones have died, bills are piling up and God seems to be helping everyone, except you. Maybe things are not going as well as you would like or have hoped. Maybe the enemy is constantly whispering in your ears that you are worthless, a nobody who is doomed to fail. Well, I have good news for Read More
