Follow God's Plan, Not Yours


Being a natural planner is not the greatest thing when serving the Lord. I used to be someone that had to know how something was going to turn out or I always had ideas that never materialized because I couldn't get them just the way I wanted them.

Sometimes, we try to put the cart before the horse...when really life is all about just being along for the ride and seeing what God has in store. We have choices to make everyday, but one I want to encourage you to think about making if you haven't already...is to decide to put your life and its circumstances in God's hands.  Just wait on Him. Don't get impatient and all out of sorts.  Commit to following His lead and just enjoy the ride you're on.

And if it's on your heart to do something for the Lord, let Him have the reins and allow Him to work through you. Don't plan it too much.

We sometimes mess up by letting the act of serving Him become too much about us, when really it's ALL about Jesus!

If you have something on your heart, just share it. If you want to do something for Him, just do it. If you want to say something and share your faith, just say it.

You never know who you might help just by taking a chance and letting Him lead the way. His ways of reaching people are often not what we would plan.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."

"In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil." (Proverbs 3:5-7)

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...

A Time To Reset (New Years 2026)

I have kept this thought on my heart for a while now (honestly even before Christmas celebrations ever began) & I have pondered over where to even start with it but I do sometimes make writing for the Lord too technical. The best of what He has given me has only ever come from the heart. ❤️ Have you ever dealt with a laptop that just won't cooperate?  I cannot begin to tell you how many seasons of laptops that I have lived through in the four years of college and 10+ years of writing. They all eventually meet the exact same fate:  Pages won't load as efficiently. The battery won't keep its charge. The smallest task becomes its greatest challenge.  However, the most agonizing death for a computer is to have a virus absolutely consume the entire operating system, effectively rendering the device completely unusable.  At that point it becomes necessary to attempt a factory reset. It essentially wipes your operating system completely clean & provides it with a mu...
