Encouragement for your walk with God.
After my post about being in a full relationship with God, I received a call from a friend. She had questions. What does it mean to be in a full relationship with God? What do you actually do? What are the steps? How do you know you are all in? God had shown me that […]
In a recent conversation with a friend, we talked about how so many people call on Jesus when they are going through tough times but want little or nothing to do with Him during the good times. It reminded me of how people use the phrase “Jesus take the wheel.” As usual, I pictured an

I recently shared a post on social media that says “Time is precious. Don’t waste it.” Many of us struggle with procrastination whether it is in one area or several areas of our lives. I do not know a single person who can say that they never procrastinate. As I look at my to-do list
Proverbs 17:17 – A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity. I recently encountered a situation that briefly got me off track. I shared it with a few friends. Within minutes, I was laughing about the situation that occurred, and the irony of the fact that the enemy
