TagMake an Appointment With God Today
Whether you go to church or not today doesn’t matter. God still wants to talk to you, hear from you and bless you… Don’t think that you need a specific building to worship God in, He does not reside in a building, but in your heart… Open up to God today not just for Bible study time but all day! Don’t you count it a major blessing to have the ability to speak to the Creator of the World?! =)..
Melodious Heart Day 2
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above;
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

The Sailors Ballad
Here is a little poem I wrote earlier today. I hope you enjoy it! =)
Tis said calm seas make not a sailor great,
But wind and storm, high gales and slate.
How can you exceed if not tried to your limit?
Great wisdom and potential lies beyond the summit.
Give up not on faith and hope
Hold on sailor, tie fast your rope.
Let God be your anchor through calm and storm.
He created and knew you before..
Called to Holiness
A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray. Isaiah 35:8
God has called us to a life of holiness as believers in His son…Will you choose to walk in holiness today?
A Thirst This World Can’t Satisfy
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It’s not our home
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the achings of this life
Is the revealing..

Monotony & Drudgery
Day in day out, same old same old. Cleaning, folding, teaching, shopping, another Monday came and went, when will the monotony end? When will the drudgery of life as a mom and older sister end? We do the same things every week every day all year! What does it matter if we do it happily or sorrowfully?
IT MATTERS A LOT! Time and life will not wait. It is happening now. Your kids will look to..
A Peace the World Cannot Give
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27 I hope you find His peace today. =)
Mud All Over Me…
I had mud all over me. I was laughing hysterically. In the middle of the mud fight in our creek I looked over my shoulder. I saw my handsome 7 yr old brother and my other 2 little sisters. They were jumping up and down in the creek throwing mud and laughing at each other. In that moment I paused and thought to myself: I have everything I could ever need or want right here at my home. What could..
The Weekend is Here!
The weekend is here! What will yours consist of? Will you have company over? Take a family vacation? Or will you have family time at home? Or do you have a list of chores around the house to complete? In all of your weekend activities bring glory to the King! Try to take some time alone with God and enjoy His presence…
