Are You Pressing On
May Day! May Day! We need a Savior! Oh, that’s right – we have One! What we need is an intervention. Stop what you are doing and challenge yourself; Where does Jesus rank in your life? Is He more important than your career? Do you regard Him higher than your own thoughts and opinions? Do you put Him before your family? If we are honest, we may have to face the truth that we are addicted to our own ways, feelings and desires. We may find that we cannot experience intimacy with Jesus until we lay ourselves down...
Step Into What Jesus Came to Offer You
We have been talking about what we are supposed to do with our belief in Jesus. We wonder if we even understand why He did what He did. And, if we do get it – are we living out our belief in Him? Jesus said in John 10:10 that He came so that we could have life and have it more abundantly. Yet, we worry, fear, and struggle with insecurity. None of those sound like abundant living. How do we step into what Jesus came to offer us? How do we live out our faith…
Why Did Jesus Do What He Did
If we were sitting face to face and chatting about Jesus and our relationship with Him, you would declare you know the answer to the question, “Why did Jesus do what He did?” You would tell me about the time you accepted Him as your Savior and you would share all your head knowledge of Him with me. You would talk about your blessings and your Bible study group. You would smile and humbly acknowledge that you still have changes to make and like all believers – you realize you could do better...
What Am I Going to Do with Jesus
Spring has sprung, Easter has passed, and the resurrection talk has ceased. So, here we sit – having posted family pics with our Easter attire and super cute baskets – left to decide, “What am I going to do with Jesus?”
Relationships are Hard
We all have relationship struggles from time to time. Some are serious and some are trivial. Some of us long for deep, connected, intimate relationships, while others just go along to get along - never truly understanding what they are missing...
Religion vs Relationship
What if you have it all wrong? What if what you are doing is dangerous? What if your good intentions fall short when it matters the most?
Do You Believe In or Believe On Jesus
Oh, how I wish I could have taken you to the Holy Land with me. What an amazing 10-day trip with a fabulous group of people! We saw sights and learned about things I never imagined...
Love - We Have it All Wrong
Where does it say to judge others and determine if they are worthy of our love? Where in the Bible does it talk about getting to know someone before we decide if we love them? They need to earn our love, right? What does it say about cutting off our love when our expectations are unmet? Hmmmm…..
Have You Found Your Soulmate
Have you found your soulmate? Have you found your one great love? Have you found the one who will complete you? Oh, how we long for a soulmate, the love of a lifetime. Have you found him or are you still searching… hoping…
We are Loved But We Want More
It is February – the month of love. Does that make you smile and feel all warm and tingly inside or does it make you want to vomit? LOL! There have been seasons of my life...
Loved - That is Who You Are
Loved. “That is not how I feel.” Who can relate? Do you know, if you do not feel loved, you are not alone? So many of us are not living loved.
It’s easy, really. We use our flawed set of measurements to determine that we must not be loved. Others have this, but I don’t. That happened to me, why? Where is God when I need Him? If I am loved, why am I struggling?
It’s sad, actually. It all began...
Mess-Up or Masterpiece
It is so easy to wallow in our mistakes and our mess-ups. Our past haunts us. We carry around our guilt and our shame as if they are heavy suitcases filled with our regrets. We believe that we are not worthy of intimacy with Jesus, after all...
Do You Know Who You Are?
Who are you? What labels are your wearing?

Your True Identity
Identity theft… it is rampant among Christians. Many have exchanged their true identity for the lies that Satan continues to whisper in their ears. What about you? Have you bought into those lies or are you standing firm on the truth of what God has to say about you? If you are struggling with the...
Who Are You?
Friend, you have been sold a faulty set of labels. Someone sold you a counterfeit set and you have paid dearly for them. It’s a scam. You are a victim of identity theft. Let me ask you a question. Who told...
Happy New Year!
Can you believe it is 2018? 2017 is over and now here we sit with a brand new year in front of us. What are we going to do with it?
