What would you give to JESUS if HE made a special trip to your home and said, " I want you to give ME your most precious possession. It may actually be something that is causing you pain, yet you can't let it go. It may be something that you love so much, yet you are depending on it too much. It may be something that you can't let go, because you can't picture your life without it. It may actually be you. But whatever it is I promise to carry it for you. I promise that you

LIFE is THE WAITING GAME with every TICKING SECOND. WAITING for the GOOD to come. WAITING for the NOT~SO~GOOD to leave. But then what is left. Your SECOND right now. And then GOD graciously gives you another SECOND. And HE never stops giving you another SECOND , even when you and I leave this TEMPORARY WORLD . This WORLD is our TEMPORARY HOUSING , just like a that is just like a COCOON for where we WAIT, for that SECOND when we won't be WAITING anymore~ "

Think about it: Don't do ANYTHING that you are going to COMPLAIN about later. Is it eating that extra piece of cake? Is it staying up too late at night? Is it doing something that you know you shouldn't be doing, but you do it anyway? Or Is it something that has happened to you beyond your control? Is it ______________? What is your ANYTHING ? No matter how it came about, it is real. Did you know that the first complainer was Adam? He said yes to eat the apple that he knew

CONTENTMENT isn’t found in what I see. CONTENTMENT isn’t found in what I am feeling. CONTENTMENT isn’t found in what I am doing. Because if CONTENTMENT was found in all that I see and feel and do, what if I don’t like how I feel because of what I see or do? Hmm. Think about it. I have been there. I have done it. But when I stop searching for CONTENTMENT and just rest in RIGHT NOW I already feel lighter. It wasn't until FAITH became my eyesight. FAITH~ seeing the unse

You stand before THE JUDGE. And HE is waiting to hear what you have to say. For you weren't summoned to go before HIM . For it was you who made the appointment. You look into HIS eyes. And then you start talking~ "Investigate my life, O GOD, find out everything about me;Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I’m about;See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong— then guide me on the road to eternal life" (Psalm 139: 23-24 MSG). You did it. You

Let's start with the Simple Truth~ JESUS LOVES YOU. Now some will stop reading this, because we all "know" it. We know the song & we know that JESUS & LOVE & GOD are words that all go together. But so what? So what that JESUS LOVES YOU? How does that change you? How does that make your circumstances better? How does that make your anxieties subside? How does that restore relationships? How does that change the image that you see in the mirror? JESUS LOVES YOU. Tears fill my

REMEMBER those yellow highlighters that underline those words that you need to REMEMBER to study so they stay in your mind. Oh you go back and keep reading them until they become part of you so that you will never FORGET. Oh how those yellow highlighters can be a weapon when they underline those things of the past that you keep reading & reading & reading so that they become a part of you but not a good part. What do you have HIGHLIGHTED that you don't want to FORGET ? W

I take a STEP that leads me in the right DIRECTION . I love walking in the right DIRECTION . And them something gets my attention that sets me in another DIRECTION . And before you know it I am turned around, walking wobbly along a path that I don't like very much. And then I hear a voice, "This is the way, walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21). And then I look to the right and then to the left and wonder if it is really GOD. For who would talk to you with such GRACE, without condem

BUT GOD makes it so easy when we choose to do it HIS WAY~ " From this moment on As for me and my house we will serve the LORD. We will never again listen to the voices that run contrary to THE WILL OF GOD or THE WORD OF GOD We will not react or respond to anything that wants to Rob our PEACE Kill our JOY or Destroy our GOD ordained PURPOSE . As for me and our house we will respond exclusively to THE WORD OF GOD & THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN JESUS NAME! AMEN" (Samuel Rodriguez). Oh

You ask GOD a question. HE says YES. HE opens the door for you to walk through. You are all excited, because you know GOD has said YES. But then your circumstances change. And then DOUBT comes knocking at your door. Did GOD REALLY SAY YES, when the going gets tough? Hmm. As I am in the middle of a blizzard in New Jersey, not sure when I will get back to Florida, for I have a women's event approaching. CONFUSION and FRUSTRATION are being birthed, which is bleeding DOUB
