WHAT IF LIFE IS ONE BIG YAY! It is quite simple, yet complicated at the same time, when we choose not to BELIEVE what is true. Yet somehow, it is quite simple to BELIEVE what isn't true, because it can be so much easier to accept those voices in your head that tell you YOU AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH, because you could always be better. And that LIFE IS LIFE~ nothing less and nothing more. You wake up, start doing your thing, and hope that something good will happen. And if it does, t

TO OBEY or NOT TO OBEY? Is that the question or the answer? YES! What do you think when you hear the word OBEDIENCE? YIKES. For me, it used to sound like a life filled with DO'S and DON'TS. DON'T DO this. DO this. DON't DO that. DO that. Where is the JOY in that? But wait... if JESUS IS JOY, wouldn't following JESUS be JOYFUL? YES. Because OBEDIENCE isn't about following rules so GOD will LOVE you. OBEDIENCE IS OUR RESPONSE TO GRACE. We don't OBEY to earn HIS LOVE. We OBEY be

IT happend 1,261,440,000 SECONDS ago. 40 years to be exact. A little boy was born into the world. A little boy who GOD GIFTED to my hubby and I, to be his parents. Our son Taylor, who has also been GIFTED with two children. I still remember his first cry, followed by our first cries. Cries of JOY! In that moment, we experienced the GIFT OF LIFE that is forever tattooed on our hearts. And yes, as cliche it may sound, it feels like yesterday, as I can still feel my arms holding

JESUS spoke two little words that are so easy to say yet hard TO DO at times. Three words that are life changing, as they take a burdened heart to a place of rest. "DO NOT LET". your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). BELIEVE [confidently] in GOD and trust in HIM, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] BELIEVE also in ME" (John 14:1). The most powerful THREE WORDS, yet the most hard to DO, because it takes FAITH to move beyond FEELING TROUBLED, FEELI

Once Upon A Time there was a blind man who heard a commotion. He asked a question. "What is going on?" He received an answer~ They told him, “JESUS of Nazareth is passing by.”* He responded~ He called out, “JESUS, Son of David, have mercy on me!”* They responded by telling him to be quiet. He responded~ “Son of David, have mercy on me!”* Hmm. JESUS. HIS voice heard over the rebukers. I wonder what the blind man thought. Did he wonder how or even if JESUS was going to respond

What if LOVE NEVER EXISTED? "If I have the gift of prophecy & can fathom all mysteries & all knowledge, & if I have a faith that can move mountains, But do not have LOVE, I Am Nothing" (I Corinthians 13:2). What if LOVE NEVER EXISTED? "If I give away all I have, & if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not LOVE, I Gain Nothing" (I Corinthians 13:3). What if LOVE NEVER EXISTED? "For GOD so LOVED the world that HE gave HIS O

It wakes me up in the morning even though it is more of a night time thing. I wonder why is the MOON planted in the sky in the morning when the SUN is beginning its job to LIGHT up the morning. THE MOON~ the LIGHT of the night yet A LIGHT that never goes out as I look at MOON in the morning LIGHT. And it doesn't matter if the MOON is full or half as it is filled with just enough LIGHT to wake up the dark sky. THE MOON~ A LIGHT that never goes out created by the same hands t

Today is a NEW day! But WHAT IF we REALLY LIVED it a NEW DAY? WHAT IF? "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19). Today is a NEW day! "Behold, I am making all things new" (Revelation 2:15). Today is a NEW day! "I forget everything that is behind me and look forward to that which is ahead of me" (Philippians 3:13). Today is a NEW day. because GOD made it one

WHAT IF~ FEAR REMOVES FEAR? I love MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCES, even thoughI have never climbed a mountain. MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCE~ That moment when you just KNOW it was GOD WHO did somethingyou could have never done. And there you stand in the STILLNESS of the AWE OF GOD, because you suddenly KNOW that GOD IS GOD and YOU ARE NOT. I can only imagine MOSES as he tended the flock and came to HOREB,THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD. There before him was a bush ON FIRE that somehow DID NOT BURN UP

I had let everyone dictate what I SHOULD do and who I SHOULD be. And it kept me stuck, as I was always wondering who I was, because I was always trying to be someone else. Always never good enough when living in the SHOULDS. My life changed the moment I allowed THE ONE to DICTATE who I SHOULD be, because THE ONE who DICTATES who I should be is the same ONE who DICTATED my being & your being into existence. Oh I love that I SHOULD FOLLOW JESUS. Oh I love that I SHOULD
