The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore. - Psalm 121:5-8 I honestly cannot get enough of God's Word! It truly is LIFE. Your mighty and loving King watches over you! He never leaves your side, dear sister. He stands beside you as your protective shade! He is all that You will ever need! Nothing can harm you. No weapon, no plot from the devil, nothing! (ref. Isaiah 54:17) I am amazed by our God! I mean think about this: the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Creator of the Universe, the Almighty God, the Great I AM watches over you! He never leaves us, never forsakes us, and He never ever, ever will! You, my dear, are the apple of your Daddy God's eye! Yes, life can throw us some curve balls, and sometimes it can be hard to believe that God … [Read more...]
When You’re Waiting on a Promise
Has God ever promised you a blessing and then made you wait for it? I knew when I boarded the plane for Denver in 2010 that God had a purpose for me at the conference hosted by the Christian Writers Guild. I was certain I'd find a publisher for my western romance series! But I left the conference having received interest from only one publisher, who eventually turned me down. I went home confused, because I knew God had called me to be an author. So why wasn't He making it happen? I tried to remain positive and patient. Many people in the Bible were given a promise and then had to wait for the blessing.

Eventually I began to see that when God tells you to wait, He really means w...a...i...t! So why the wait? Because the Christian life is about becoming more like Christ, not accomplishing great works. The waiting period is really the … [Read more...]
God, Not Man
This week I just have to talk about how amazing God is! Some of you may know the story of our little boy Caleb and how each day for us is a step of faith. Although we go through the motions of caring for a disabled child that requires constant care, we never lose faith in the promise that God made us for Caleb’s complete healing. Some days are easier than others, but most days are extremely difficult to get through when faced with medical statistics and doctors’ reports. Just recently we took Caleb for a speech evaluation to determine his swallowing capabilities. Now mind you, we have been watching Caleb swallow for some time now and even give him baby food to eat by mouth sometimes. So we just knew he was going to pass this swallow test with flying colors. And to our amazement, he did absolutely nothing! Nope, not even one tiny little swallow! As a matter of fact, he spit the applesauce back out! The therapist looked at me like I was from another planet. There was no way that this … [Read more...]
