Here I sit before the dreaded “blank piece of paper” which in current times has another name called, “The Blank Screen”! Thinking about the times before me and wanting to be equipped. You know….prepared, ready, poised. This actually isn’t done in a day, is it? We’ve all had to prepare holiday meals perhaps. Remember all… Continue reading Arrows for Your Quiver

Are you like me? There are so many things that can get me excited when I meditate and think upon my wonderful and awesome God, but there is one thing that easily quickens my heart rapidly and that’s when I study the armor of God. Think of it with me, this is something He has… Continue reading Can You Stand It? 1

You might as well know I have a new song pumping through my system now, waiting for wrongs to be righted and victory to be undenied! It’s by Andrew Ripp and it’s called, “Rejoice”! This is a theme song for every weary, tired, and broken saint that may feel defeated and let’s face it, worn… Continue reading Let ‘er Rip!

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.Jeremiah 31:3 NIV This makes me think of all the times I walked away from God and did things my way. Did things my flesh wanted to do. Said things that I… Continue reading Remind me
