A World In Need of The Savior (Salvation Series Part 1)

  The world we find ourselves living in today has become a place filled with venomous division. One glance at the news or a social media platform will paint quite the distressful portrait of a planet that's simply hanging by a thread.  Everyone is full of emotion, desperately searching for a solution to this madness; something or someone that will save them in the midst of it all.  I have seen this generation's true colors pop through with a vengeance during the past year and a half, and I'm sharing my heart and this salvation series because so many souls that I've met and known are lost and so many in the world are oblivious to the corruption and destruction that lies in front of their faces. I feel like sharing His Word & to show everyone that I can possibly reach with my words. Your need for Jesus is most important.  There is no lasting hope to be found in a life without Christ.  I have noticed a handful of attributes in our society that I wish to addre...

Running Home: The Good Shepherd (Part 2)

                                                                            1963                         (Lincoln County, West Virginia)     The weeks following the death of my dad truly tested the foundation of our family's faith. Life as we knew it would never be the same. Frank Lemaster was someone whom I was grateful for. He was momma's rock, and our family once again felt a deep sense of loss.  The farm ceased to hold its charm as a new beginning was forced upon us. Dad loved everything about farm life. That's all we ever knew. Momma was devastated. She lost her greatest adventure partner and the love of her life. She would have to go on while carrying the precious memories in her h...

The Freedom of Salvation

 The peace that Christ provides is truly the sweetest gift. The freedom of my salvation is one aspect of my life that I have marveled over during the past few days & I just wanted to write this little post to praise my Savior for all He has done, & for how He has taken care of me. His unwavering devotion to me through the passage of time has been a loyalty that no one else could ever provide. He cares for all of us in such an intricate & indescribable way.  I am so thankful for the way He has watched over & cared for me. Oh how sweet His love is!  The darkness of life has the ability to make us feel as though we aren't free in some respects. Sometimes, the unfairness of evil rears its ugly head in our lives causing us to spend years trying to wrap our heads around why those situations occur to begin with.  Trusting Christ with your life means choosing to give every thing over to Him. I can't say I haven't struggled along on my journey, but I have most...

Seek Him Early

  Breakfast is an essential part of your day. I was always the person who woke up late, grabbing something quick, sweet & without bulk to count as my morning meal. I can't help but wonder how many of us automatically start our day this way without even giving it a second thought? I researched some benefits of choosing to eat breakfast and the main ones I found were: you have a healthier heart, better concentration, & a more energetic start to your day. Take this example & apply it to the start of your own day & your relationship with Jesus. What is the first thing you do every single morning? How early do you wake up? An early start promotes better concentration. "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth". (Colossians 3:2 King James Version) When we start our day with healthy choices, we concentrate better in everything we do. Spending time with Jesus becomes less rushed, & our prayers are more heartfelt. We share more of us with ...
