Tell Somebody
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Something that I hear a lot lately is that what we go through is not only for us to learn and grow. In many cases, God gives us these experiences so we can help somebody else who will have the same experience at one time or another.
When we go through stuff it’s hard [...]
Change Is Necessary
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Whether we like it or not, change is a necessary part of life’s process. Things just can’t always remain the same, and neither can people. God changes things and He changes us.
In order for us to do all that God wants us to do, we must be open to change. [...]
It’s Not Over
Thursday, July 23, 2009
When the Holy Spirit gave me this subject this morning, immediately, my Aunt Annie came into my mind. She’s one of Mom’s sisters and she is truly a walking testimony of the goodness of God.
My aunt has had so many strokes and heart attacks that I’ve lost count. Several years ago, when [...]
Daily Challenges
Friday, July 24, 2009
When I was working, there were times when days were not going as I would have liked. Someone would ask if I were having a bad day. My response would always be this: “It’s not a bad day, just a day with some challenges.”
It is my belief that God doesn’t give us “bad” [...]
Change Your Mind, Change Your Heart
Thursday, July 30, 2009
The Bible tells us that renewing our minds will transform us (Romans 12:2). It will transform you to the point where your mind is totally changed. When your mind is changed, your heart follows.
When I was given this subject for the morning, my mind took me to the three friendships that [...]
Do It Anyway!
Tuesday, August 4, 2009
Several years ago, I had a position as a meeting planner/conference coordinator with an organization in Washington, DC. I knew when I took the position that travel was part of the job. It wasn’t just a little bit of travel. It was heavy travel. At the time, I really didn’t like to fly [...]
Accept the Blessing
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
Sometimes things (and people) come into our lives and we have a way of turning it down or turning people away from us. It can be something in our attitude, our demeanor, the way we talk or even the way we approach a thing (or person). We could be pushing [...]
Don’t Give Up
Thursday, August 6, 2009
I’ve touched on this once before but there must be a reason the Holy Spirit is bringing it up this morning. Maybe it’s because there are a lot more people receiving these messages now than there were before when it went out. It could just be that somebody is at this [...]
Be A Blessing
Friday, August 7, 2009
How often do you ask God to do something for you? How often do you do anything for Him?
Those two questions can be very important in our lives. More important than the questions, are the answers. Be honest. No sense in lying about it because God knows the answer, anyway.
God [...]
A Time For Remembering
Tuesday, August 11, 2009
When this date rolls around each year I write about my son, Brandon. He died on this date after 21 days because he was born premature, weighing only 1 pound 12 ounces. His lungs, being the last organ to develop, had not reached the necessary point of development. Brandon would be 28 [...]
