Walking In The Safe Way (Thankfulness Series Part 3)

 Let's use these last few days of November to remember who He is, living consistently with hearts of thankfulness for His faithful promise of everlasting life. 


If you have accepted Christ as your personal Savior, it is important to also remember who YOU are because of the power of His redeeming grace. 


 The birthstone of November is topaz. One of the qualities represented by this jewel is nobility. 




Nobility refers to possessing a title of honor, or receiving a hereditary title.


The world is filled with stumbling blocks that work to discourage our hearts and darken the light which leads to a sense of worthlessness and a perceived loss of identity. 


"Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." (Ephesians 4:28)


The greatest weapon formed against us are the stumbling blocks that are so often thrown our way.


Don't allow stumbling blocks to inhabit your life, so that you don't become a stumbling block in someone else's path. May our hearts always be THANKFUL for His saving grace, and may we remember our identity in Christ. 


"Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." (Romans 14:13)


We are not worthy of anything, but He is worthy of so much praise!


If you have never accepted Christ as your Savior, there is hope in the midst of darkness. Don't let those stumbling blocks steal a chance for you to posess a new identity in Christ. You are infinitely precious in His sight. Let Him lead the way.


"Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, & thy foot shall not stumble.” (Proverbs 3:23)

Things To Remember When You Feel Like Quitting On God

Having the opportunity to serve the Lord through writing faith-based short stories and devotionals will forever be my greatest joy.  I have traveled along on the writing journey for about ten years now, yet it would be untruthful to tell you that I've never felt like quitting.  I know I have.  Have you ever felt that way? Are you in a season of distraction or discouragement?  The Lord placed this thought and those questions on my heart because I know that many others who remain faithful in serving the Lord in their own respective way are met with same opposition from Satan.  Sometimes it's difficult for you not to feel distracted and discouraged---as if the joy that you once held in your heart is somehow nowhere to be found. The good news is that while opposition will never go away on this side of Heaven, there are things to remember and tools that we can use to fight off those fiery darts and keep on keepin' on! (One of my all time favorite phrases) Today, I wa...

The Price of Sin Will Never Be Worth It

There doesn't seem to be anything in this world that isn't crazy expensive.  The shortages that have come upon us through the past three years have just begun to escalate; it is becoming harder to have our basic needs met. The quality of everything that we've known and loved just isn't the same anymore.  And what you're being sold is never worth the hefty price you pay. This thought has hung around in my head for some time. I read and observe a lot. I can't help but take notice of this gradual acceptance of evil. Society is being continuously groomed to make light of something that is no joke.  Hollywood paints the picture of Hell as a place that is one big party where everyone will be able to freely continue their life of sin. The presence of evil here on Earth is welcomed, encouraged, and accepted. The Bible vehemently warns against doing so.  " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put...

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...
