Luke 9:49-50 “And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.” This is my thoughts. I grew up in an independent,…

My goal at the beginning was to journal every day. This has not been the case. My days are sometimes moving so fast I miss the day. I could not even tell you much about that day. I think sometimes we are so consumed with the moment that not only do we miss the day,…

“Never be afraid to trust and unknown future to a known God.” Corrie ten Boom The future is a blank slate for us, but God already knows what will happen. My favorite verses are found in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all…

I love reading books that tell stories of the past. I love reading about the Faith that pioneers had moving west, the Faith of a women who traveled west as a Mail-order Bride, or the Faith of those facing the hardships during hard times. As I read these stories, I am challenged to look at…

Today I had to do something that is extremely hard for me. I do not like to confront people with anything. I like staying in the shadows. For the past month I have wanted to talk to someone who I love very much! Every time I tried it seemed as though the Lord said, “wait”.…

Being so comfortable with others and missing out on blessings. Sometimes we miss so much with those we spend the most time with because we are comfortable with them. Many times, over the years I have heard Preachers say that to keep a marriage working is to keep doing what you did to start the…
