To those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children Of God John 1:12 I keep wondering about this statement "believed in his name".   What does it mean to believe in Jesus's name?   I always hear this statement with something in the middle.   Like "I believe I'm healed in Jesus's name".   What does it mean to believe "anything" in His name? John 16:23-24 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.   The scripture above really caught my attention.  I have read this scripture quite a few times.  But this time some specific words jumped out to me: "in My name".   You know.........in the past, when I have prayed.  I would say "in Jesus name" almost as more of a way you are suppose to close out a prayer like a ...

 One of the most important parts of the morning is my coffee mug.   As I rise early and it's still dark,   I creep downstairs and I know I don't need any other light except the blue light on my Keurig .   I quietly fumble around in my cabinets for a coffee mug.   Then a get my creamer out of the fridge.   As a look at my Keurig, I see the water level is low, but it looks like there just might be enough water for one cup.   I take a chance, risking the disappointment of those flashing words on the screen "needs more water".   But my risk pays off and it turns out I have just enough to meet my need at that moment.   What I blessing it is!!   With pure delight, I run upstairs to my room, quietly as not to wake anyone.   My alone time with God is so important. Still without any lights on, I open one of my blinds.   So I can bring in the daylight thinking about God.   I know that in the morning if I get up and seek Him. ...

I am bursting with stuff to share, but really haven't known if it's the time to share it.  Or even if this is the platform.  There have been some foundational lessons that God has been teaching me.  Gosh, I haven't blogged so long.  I don't know where to start.  I long to connect with my readers on  a more personal level.  I don't know how many of you are married.  But statistically marriages will go through a crisis about every 10 years.  It could be health, financial, loss of a loved one, parenting issues, etc.  My husband and I went through our first crisis last year, and guess what?  Last year was our 10th year of marriage.  Ours was financial.  Honestly, it went on for about 2 years but reached the worst of it last year.  We were in danger of losing our home.  The only reason we are in our home today is because God used our family and our church to help us.  But it was rough for awhile and it truly ...

Life..........let's see, God will have you to spread the gifts that He has put in you, far and wide.  But they go forth as seeds.  The bible says that God gives seed to the sower.  I think it's important to know that they go forth as seeds, so you don't expect this immediate return.  Seeds need to be watered and they don't sprout right away.  You have to keep watering them and after some time they begin to sprout.  The reason I say this is because when we remember that  God gives us gifts to spread forth, far and wide in the form of seeds, we allow our patience to grow with joy. The mindset of the "sower" is a challenge in the "microwave" culture we live in.  It is especially hard when you are at the helms of a new endeavor.  It's much easier to jump on somebody else's boat, then it is to drive your own and I think that's the reason why some of us shy away from some of the things that are on our hearts to do.  When something doesn...

When you first realize who you are...........  There were certain books that I would not read.  When I saw books on "How Successful women juggle it all".  Or just books on success,  I would say to myself "That book is not for me".  It's funny because the books were for successful people and in saying "This book is not for me", I was ultimately vocalizing that I didn't see myself as a "successful person".  Even though I felt I was a great stay-at-home mom and wife, " I didn't feel like these books were written for me or my life".  I now realize that I felt this way because of an internal belief about myself and, my path.  Well,  God has changed that.  I was drawn to this book recently called "What the most successful people do before breakfast".  For the first time ever, I heard within myself "Your a successful person, so you need to find out what other successful people do." I had never heard that withi...
