Do you feel like you are in a barren time in your walk with God? Be encouraged that before God uses many people in the Bible, they were taken through the

How much more effective it is to be a burden bearer for those who are living, rather than just carrying their coffin as a pallbearer when they die! Both have their place. But oh, the joy of being able to be like Jesus in making someone else’s life more tolerable, more hopeful or more...

It is so important to remember that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). He is only a prayer away! Will you join me in determining to push through those moments of emotional drought and...

I have a confession to make. In my early 20’s I loved to dance. I thought I was actually a pretty good dancer! During my college days, it wasn’t uncommon for a group of us to head over to...

I vividly remember the day that my husband and I found out that I was spontaneously pregnant with twins. What joy!! I was fortunate to have a flawless pregnancy. No morning sickness. I felt great during the entire nine months. With excitement, we awaited the arrival of our precious twins in the very hot month of August over two decades ago.

How about God’s voice? Can we hear Him? How are we able to identify His voice above all the others around us? Is it possible?

I’ve concluded that in many cases our healing, our happiness, and our overall quality of life depends, to a great degree, on our willingness to...

Have you ever taken the time to just sit and reflect on the goodness of the Lord? We can get so bogged down with the perplexities, troubles, and problems of our present situations that we forget to see where God has brought us from. We seem not to be able to see His infinite goodness at all times. The scriptures remind us that...

I kissed my husband goodbye, and I walked out into a cloudy, chilly morning to take a long drive south of my home to go to work. The ground was white with snow. It was so pretty. What I didn’t realize that morning was that beneath the...

So, how is your faith doing today? Is all on the altar for God? This year, my husband and I were impressed to sell an income-generating property to downsize our life significantly. It was going on the "altar." The real estate market was booming, and we heard...
