Help! This is the cry from the hearts of the masses. Help is needed and often we wonder where our help will come from. It will not come from the government (No consensus reached). It will not come from your employer (Unemployment rate of 7.9%). It will not come from any person. Help, comes from the Lord (Psalm 34:17, Psalm 121). I was going to write on another topic today, but I thought we could use a clear reality check. We are not a people forgotten (Psalm 10:12). We are not a people without hope (Hebrews 6:19). We are a 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
Do You Really Trust God? It’s A Heart Thing
During this season of transitioning, (graduations, relocations, broken/distancing of relationships, off to college, new jobs, etc), God is doing a work in our hearts, because it’s a heart thing with God (. Do we really trust God? We can say a lot with our lips but our hearts are far from it (Matthew 15:8, Proverbs 23:26). God will free us up from the weight that we carry but we have to continue to trust Him, to walk in love, and to speak the truth in love every time we speak. We must continually ask the Holy Spirit, to show us where 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
Part 1 – Supernatural Provision: Trust God in the Lean Times
We have to learn to TRUST God in times of famine and times of plenty. Lean times are defined as a time when there is not enough. A time when there are shortages of food and finances. Supernatural provision is not the norm for most people; however, it is very possible. So when does God provide for you supernaturally? Is it when you have a need? Is it when you spend hours crying and complaining about what you do not have? No. God responds to FAITH, not need. Take a look at Exodus 16. God sent manna from heaven each day Read More
It Is Well With My Soul!
My thoughts today dwell on the hymn, It Is Well With My Soul. It’s my 62nd birthday. A great day to celebrate my life and all the wonderful things God has done for me. I recently completed a scripture garden in my backyard. It’s filled with plants, stones, an angel statue and a welcome garden flag. The majority of the stones in this garden have scripture printed on them. Some single scriptures like Mark 11:23-24, others are combined in groups to create the basic theme of the scripture, Galatians 5:22-23 (Fruits of the Spirit). One of the stones I created Read More
