Do you know the God of Restoration? Have you met Him and spent time with Him? Have you allowed Him into the broken areas of your life? Recently, I attended our monthly Fiction Function Book club and one of the ladies was telling us about a tree her husband had planted and lovingly cared for before he transitioned to heaven. At one point, the tree got struck by lightning and split into (See Fig. 1). She called her grandson, and they duct-taped the tree back together (See Fig. 2). She spoke to the tree and commanded the tree to live Read More

Thursday Thoughts: Listen to God’s Heart
This prayer was part of my morning devotional and I thought I would share it as a reminder to always LOVE first.
Realigning: Proverbs 31 Man
Realigning means changing one’s position or attitude. I read an article today entitled The Proverbs 31 Man. You can read it here. I laughed when I saw the title, but I was intrigued, so I read it. The author made some excellent points, and he is well within scripture (Galatians 3:28) to say both men and women can have that role. He lost his job during the 2008 Recession and had to redefine his purpose. Sometimes we have to shift our focus and change our position to adjust to our current season. His was a season of realigning. Some highlights Read More
Be Transformed
Each and every day, I learn something that helps me grow. I know that just one idea, one divine thought, and one faith possibility that comes my way can transform my life. So, each day, I look for every new idea and every positive thought that will help me become the person God created me to be.

Mindset Mondays: But God!
But God is a Bible phrase that often marks a critical moment of divine intervention, especially when all seems lost or hopeless. The phrase, But God, represents a turning point in which God’s actions produce a positive change or deliverance and showcase His power and sovereignty over challenging situations and circumstances. Instead of staying in the position of terror and fear because of the situation in which you find yourselves, you must embrace the But God moments in the Word. It’s time to renew your minds to what God’s Word states, not what the enemy is threatening to do. The Read More
Covenant Keeper: Same God Then and Now
God is a covenant keeper. He never wavers in His promises. He is the same God; He changes not. God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? (Numbers 23:19) My dear friend Delphine shared this, and I pray it will resonate and encourage those of you who may be experiencing seasons of doubt. Trust God, the covenant keeper. Psalm 89:34 NIV “I will not violate my covenant or alter what Read More
