Pressured!
Posted on March 3, 2022 Leave a Comment
March 3, 2022 Pressured! I felt pressured. Deep inside I knew I did not want to do what I was being asked. But, the pressure was unrelenting. I was told I was stupid if I did not do it. I was told I was letting fear take over if I did not do it. I […]
Shift!

February 24, 2022 Shift! One of our first responses to change is to convince ourselves our best days are behind us. We are not quite so sure the Holy Spirit is ready to use us. We are no quite so optimistic that our best moments are just around the corner. Rather than embrace the shift, […]
Confusion!

February 17, 2022 Confusion! I am hoping for this direction but I am still committed to that direction. I pray and ask the Holy Spirit for some guidance. I make lists of the positives and negatives of each choice. I consult with trusted friends to gain perspective. But, there is no definitive answer. I wonder […]

February 10, 2022 Changes! I enjoy the adventure of meeting new people, visiting new places, and trying new things. Yes, it takes energy but the reward is love and joy. The cost of change opens the door to the rewards of love and joy. Change is part of life. I appreciate the way in which […]
Healing!

February 3, 2022 Healing! As I continued to suffer through the discomfort and discouragement of a several-week-long illness, I began to wonder if Jesus would heal me. I know that Jesus heals all kinds of things; our attitudes, our broken hearts, and even our sin. And, every day I pray for healing for people I […]

January 27, 2022 I Will Testify! Several years ago, a young couple in the church were engaged in a custody battle with a former spouse. Their attorney encouraged them to ask me to testify on their behalf in court. I was willing to testify, but I did not realize I would pay a pretty big […]
Open Wide!

January 20, 2022 Open Wide! I first heard the words “Open Wide!” from my mother. She was teaching me to eat my vegetables when I was a toddler. I also heard the words “Open Wide!” from my dentist. He was encouraging me to trust him as he examined my teeth. But, there is another time […]
A Miracle For You!

January 13, 2022 A Miracle For You! I have been to the point where I was convinced there was no miracle for me and doubted Jesus was even real. It was a pretty desperate time. Sometimes I prayed and sometimes I did not. Sometimes I read the Bible and sometimes I did not. Sometimes I […]

January 6, 2022 Your Old Ways Might Not Fit God’s New Ways! Happy New Year! I pray this year is a new beginning for you. Maybe some things can be finally resolved. Maybe some things can finally open up. Maybe some things can finally start to grow. My prayer is peace and joy as well […]

December 30, 2021 Kneel To Draw Near! Although Christmas is past, there are many who may still be longing to draw nearer to God. Maybe it was a Christmas Carol at a Christmas Eve candlelight service or a rather nice dinner with family on Christmas day or a scene in a movie that touched your […]
