Detours
Have you ever been on a trip and you had to take a detour? Sometimes it is difficult and frustrating. My husband and I were out visiting and there were some roads that had been changed so instead of a direct path we had to detour. It did not just happen on one street. The…

Repeat and Repeat
How many times do I have to tell you? Did your mom say that to you? My mom said it to me, and I said it to my children. We all must be told over and over sometimes. Throughout the scriptures God tells us over and over different things because we do not get it…

How many fingers are pointing back at You?
Many times, there are things that arise that seem overwhelming because of people who want to rise to prominence. Pointing out other’s faults does not elevate us to prominence.

When Bad things Happen
Is God doing nothing? He is if you are saved and you do nothing. God did not save us just so we can go to Heaven. After we learn about the Lord, we tell others, who tell others, who tell others and so on. The world cannot know the Lord without being told. The way…

Let Your Light Shine
Today I had a conversation with a gentleman about what our future looks like now with the new President. I reminded him that we have to keep going forward and do what God would have us do. We just have to trust. God is in Control. Later at work I read a devotion about Eli…

Holy Spirit Praying
Today is one of those days when I am at complete peace, yet my spirit cries with in me. I do not know why I want to cry, but I know that Holy Spirit within me knows my heart’s needs. I lift up my voice to God and ask him to open up my heart…
