My life was forever changed 10 years ago. It's soo hard to believe it's been 10 years already. I'm moved to tears at this moment thinking about days missed, yet embracing the days the Lord has given me to discover all the many new adventures surrounding my life... when I was ready for them. I've been shaken to the core and still I stand with my fis...
Life is tough I know, but don't make the mistake today of thinking that God is not interested in your problems, concerns, hopes or dreams! Because the trust is that scripture makes it really clear that God hears and DOES answer our prayers. I love that and needed that reminder today myself! I totally understand that we all experience times when we ...
I love the story of Joshua. Scripture says in Joshua 10:12-14, He was in the midst of a great battle and he and his men were trying to finish off this army before the sun went down. He knew that this army would rise up and cause them soo many problems if he didn't. Joshua could have easy gotten discouraged and had a defeated attitude but he stepped...
Happy December everyone. There's soo much for us to be thankful for. And I can't believe Christmas is just around the corner. Did you all get my Christmas list this year? LOL No worries, there's just a few things I want like Peace on Earth, a Fat Boy Harley, my neighbors dog to stop barking for hours and a new pair of sneakers. But that's it...not ...
The challenge of "moving on" from our past and into our future is much easier said than done, especially when soo much is undefined and at times can be far from a secure feeling in our lives. But what most of us can probably say about "moving on" is that we KNOW it's something that will be good for us, better for us and something that God is callin...
I don't know about you but I can always use a little more of the Presence of God in my life. Sometimes I get going sooo fast that I honestly forget to talk to Jesus or to "bring Him into the situations of life" with me. Ya know what I mean? Simple but true right! :) I was at a girlfriends house last night and she handed me this new devotional that ...
This month is a really simple Devotional word for us all....LIFT UP YOUR EYES! Psalm 121 gives us a really clear picture of the way God cares for us in such a personal way and on a very personal level. "I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth" (vv.1,2). The psalmist s...
My phone just rang. I answered and said, "Hello Lisa, how are you?" And she replied, "I'm building Character. How are you?" I LOVED it. What a cool response. What a purposeful thing to say. I told Lisa that I'm STEELING that phrase this year. Because more than anything it will remind me of what I long to be each time it comes out of my mouth. A wom...
What a simply incredible week end it's been spent here in Niagara Falls Ontario. I flew up yesterday to join the 100 Huntley Street Women's Conference and we had a blast last night. Women came from all over Canada, but in particular there was a special group of Women that came from an Indian Reservation 14 hours away. They were sitting in the very ...
Focus on your God and not your giants. Yikes. Can someone teach ME how to do that too! :) Have an attitude of victory and not defeat. Now that's how I wanna live! :) I know that we're all going through different seasons in our lives right now. Some are moving into that NEW season and some may feel like you're lagging behind and you can't seem to ge...
