Been pondering how wealth is gotten, writing a book, my future… “But remember the Lord you God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your forefathers, as it is today.” This is a lot to digest….

God tells us in His word, that His word is really from Him. It’s real. 2 Timothy 3: 15 and 16 says, “…and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching […]

Our local news is telling us there was someone inside the emergency room at the local hospital. We don’t know how the person came in with a gun. Details of the shooting aren’t even being released yet because of privacy for families, etc…. My thoughts go to the idea of a person came to the […]

The old saying came to me today. “I was complaining about my shoes till I met a man with no feet.”  Here we are waiting. We know there’s going to be some relief when we get some debt paid after selling house number one, but wouldn’t ya know?? My hubby really needs to do something […]

Rachel Platten sings “This is my fight song, this is my life song….” As I scour her lyrics, I not only feel this adventure involves my fight, but a new song in my life where I can utilize this blog to help others for the glory of God. Her lyrics include feeling like a small […]

I mull this verse over now and then. I talk to God about it. It says, “So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up) by itself is destitute of power. (inoperative, dead) I’m torn. My humanness has me telling God, what He already knows. “I’m […]

What comes to mind when you say that word? Perfect Donna Reed? Submissive woman on her knees washing her man’s feet? I confess this morning, I was neither. Now today is exactly 3 weeks from answer to half big prayer…house number one will be sold and we can pay off many bills and not be […]

I do not watch shows like The Walking Dead. I do not watch ghost and ghost search type shows. I really try to focus on the Holy Spirit of God. He’s my love. There are spiritual warfare attacks and efforts we can’t ignore. The Bible says so. (2 Corinthians 10: 4, Ephesians 6: 12….) We […]

I remember, from taking my Psych/Human Services classes, that in days of old, some people were put away into asylums for having lots of nightmares. I don’t have many. I had one last night. I know enough to know there is meaning to every thought and imagination. God’s word reminds us to cast down every […]

Renewing the mind involves removing old habits and establishing new ones. Some thoughts: Anyone who has ever been around people way older than themselves knows the old person will recall many years ago better than yesterday. Seems this can be a fact of life. Now there are exceptions to every rule. I’ve known of older […]

I came across Danielle Strickland…..what a life testimony!! I’m not sure of where, if any where, my blogging will go in the future, but I know I’m pleased to know there are folks out there talking up God. I hope to. I need to more………God help me. Meanwhile, He’s letting me see other more established […]

1 Corinthians 12: 31 says to “…covet earnestly the best gifts and yet shew I you a more excellent way”. I’ve got mind blow. Calming down a bit, I’ll start by saying we couldn’t make our January mortgage payment on the house that is going to officially be called “sold” on about Feb.12. That would […]

Reminder: my camera puts up everything was photographed in 2012…not! This is 2016, currently. Pastor Glenn Badonsky and his wife have an outstanding ministry and are from out of Alabama. They are Double Portion Ministries. He had a message today at our church. He began in Colossians 4: 2. He mentioned getting beyond the threshing […]

Today, I awoke early and went to the bathroom. I set the cat out of my room and laid back down in my nice comfy bed. I thank God for indoor plumbing that works. I thank God for my nice comfy bed. I thank God for my house that has all sorts of working elements […]

good website….marriagerecoverycenter.com Dr. David Hawkins and other Christian doctors counsel married people. They have blogs, too. These counselors offer online help for people who aren’t married also. I thank God for Arthelene Rippy and her tv show: “Homekeepers.” I hear of many authors and doctors through her show. Her show, as well as her life, […]

When I come across something good, I feel I should share. Amy Hauptman has a blog out there (don’t know if she’s still blogging) called How To Pray Without Talking. It’s good. It’s via Intervarsity Christian Fellowship

It’s amazing how God shows me more and more verses about waiting. Since I’ve started this blog, I’ve learned a lot. God is good…..That’s what is easy to say. Better yet, God is great! Habakkuk 2: 3 actually says (Amplified Bible) For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the […]

Good, bad or otherwise, I started the day likening myself to Job. I don’t know how many more financial hits we can take. God answered the first part of our prayer: we sold one house so we intend to pay bills off and get out of debt. We still have a month or so to […]
