Loyalty: Proven!

Loyalty is a character trait in humankind that is not very prevalent today. Loyalty puts others ahead of our own progress. Pastor and author, Craig Groeschel said, "True loyalty is proven not proclaimed." Words come easy when they are used to impress someone; as a child I learned that actions speak louder than words. 2 Kings … Continue reading Loyalty: Proven!

A Personal Touch

There are times in life when we desire a ‘personal’ touch. There are so many situations where we are part of a collective. With our parents, we are children; with our children we are parents. On our job we are part of the workforce, and the list goes on. But there are times when we … Continue reading A Personal Touch

Be Still

Waiting is one of the most difficult assignments anybody can have. Even when we know the outcome would delight us, we still have difficulty waiting. But as people of faith, we need to wait on God. David understood the importance of waiting on God. Psalm 27: 14 NKJV Wait on the Lord;Be of good courage,And He shall … Continue reading Be Still

Wait! Let God Lead! 

There are many seasons in life. Sometimes we are happy; sometimes we are sad but, in all seasons, we look to God for strength and direction. There is always the inclination to chart our own course.

Knowing God Brings Change!

They forsook the God who delivered them from Egypt and were now living as exiles in Babylon. There is not … Continue reading New Beginnings!

Yes! He Did It!

One of the most difficult things to do is wait. When you are on your way to work with public transportation, it’s annoying when the buses and trains are not on schedule. So, we stand, look into the distance, and complain about the quality of the service when the transportation is late. In Jeremiah 29, … Continue reading Yes! He Did It!

In His Presence

Children usually love to spend time with their parents. They will play with you and talk with you but there is something about going home with mommy and daddy. Where love exists, there is joy in the presence of that individual. We have someone who loves us so dearly that He laid down His life … Continue reading In His Presence

Safety in the Lord!

Walking is something we take for granted; you put one foot in front of the other and you go. It is so basic that you never give it another thought unless you stomp your toe. But for the most part, it’s automatic. That was true for me until vertigo stepped into my life. Walking is … Continue reading Safety in the Lord!
