Celebrate Freedom

  Here in the United States, in July we celebrate our freedom.   Freedom from tyranny, freedom to be our own country, freedom from persecution.   It is in our human nature to want to make our own choices, to not be subject to another’s complete authority. Everyone deserves to have respect and an identity.…

Be Still In Mind, Heart, and Soul

  “Be still and know that I am God!  I will be honored by every nation.  I will be honored throughout the world.” Psalm 46:10   This has been a favorite verse of mine for many years. And I am learning that this kind of stillness is much more than to just sit down and…

The Obstacle between aimless wandering and the Promised Land is Trust.

Promised Land

Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will not fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:8 A new year can be full of so many emotions. Relief for making it through the previous year. Excitement for what the new year will…
God doesn't exist to bless our plans, We exist to fulfil His.

Planning

I’m a planner. I like to map out the course of my days and check things off my list. This time of year many of us make plans. We set goals, resolutions, intentions, dreams…whatever you like to call them. Plans and goals are good. They keep us focused, they keep us on track. So when…
