Color me Free

Before we were born, God marveled at His plan for us. It was His pleasure to make us all delightfully unique. Then He picks our parents and brushes us with a true color that just blends in beautifully with others. As the Artist of all that is, He paints us into backgrounds that cause us…

Final Self Exam

Our Father knows we are prone to doubt Him and lean on our experiences rather than ask for His help. As sheep, we wander off the path and away from our Shepherd. When He calls, do I know His voice and turn? Am I listening? Do I desire to live a life, daily, that calls…

Gratitude Journey

The glow of genuine joy is an effective shield against any scheme of darkness. Praising Jesus all day long definitely defeats evil! This is one of my life Scriptures from a vintage QLBC conference 20 years ago. “I am radiant with joy over the goodness of the Lord! My life is like a watered garden…

Pure Worship

If you knew that a bright star was leading you to God, would you follow it? Would you bring the finest gifts? Would you walk for miles and miles to see Him? The wise men sacrificed their time and comfort to travel, hunt for food, and sleep in tents, to follow the star and see…

Gospellers

Light Leaks Out

What do we expect to occur on Christmas eve? What leaks out of a cracked soul? Depends on what is stored inside! If it is the light of the world, it shall pierce any darkness. As a Christ centered cracked soul, choose to stay connected to the Source and spill all over. When we feel…

Gratitude Art

You are in charge of the amount of joy you will allow. Be the fool, and rejoice in the great future that God has planned. Stretch the idea of art to include whatever sparks a fancy in you! Our awesome Father gave us all talents. Do what you love! Write, Bake, Run, Paint, Sing, Carve,…

Purposeful Retreat

To get away, to go into the secret place of the most High, to reconnect with His purpose and supreme plan, is to retreat from the distractions of this world. A purpose driven retreat from the Deceiver, is to realign our life with Jesus, the Author and perfector of our faith. It is a choice…

Set Apart

These LaOla girls were set apart as a testimony of God’s plan. They shine with the glow of knowing that they are loved and that God has a plan for their future. Who is our Promise Keeper, our Provider of all good? Psalm 132:15 “I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will…
