Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with prayer and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. In my youth, my pursuit was faith, family and pursuing my education. As a young bride, my pursuit was faith, family, marriage, and motherhood. Rebuilding my life became a fearless pursuit: Pursuing God’s wisdom, courage and going back to school. In middle age, I was not only a classroom teacher, but ministered to many, as God ordered At 68, my fearless pursuit is faith, family, and this amazing journey through which he has…
Spotlight 3 Love, Live, Laugh, Learn, and Leave a Legacy Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:4 …there is a time to laugh…..there is a time to dance. Granny always said,” Laughter is the best medicine.” How right she was. Whenever there was a struggle or grief in the family, she always tried to place a funny spin on it, to lighten the load. My mom, sister, cousin Joan and I, always had the Granny Edith laugh. I claim it proudly, for in my family, it’s an expression of love and joy. My very social nature is attributed to all of…
Isaiah 6:2 For Zion’s sake, I will not keep silent. For Jerusalem’s sake, I will not be quiet. You will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand. WELL….HERE I AM…I WRITE AS HE INSPIRES. It’s not about me. The old Sue couldn’t have done this in a million years. Ten years ago, if you told me I’d be doing this, I’d tell you that your elevator didn’t go to the top…
PS.91:11-12 For He will give His angels charge over you, to accompany, defend, and preserve you in all your ways. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. LOLOL! I can be a real klutz at times. I’ve slipped off the ladder a few times while painting. I’ve tripped over painting paraphernalia on occasion. So it was no surprise, that a month ago, I said the following prayer as I finished painting the bedroom: Lord, surround me with your Guardian Angels today. Please keep…
Saint Mother Teresa: She is a role model for all who proclaim to be a Christian. Each of us has said at one point in our lives, “I could never make a difference…..not that big! “ Well friends, she didn’t do big things. She began by bringing in the homeless and the dying in India. It grew from there. We all have done many little things. I saw my husband become Jesus this morning. It was only for one minute, if that. We were at the doc for his hearing aids this morning. A sweet little Afro-American…
Todays topic…..TRUE FRIENDSHIP The Book of Sirach Ch 6:5-17 A kind mouth multiplies friends, and gracious lips prompt friendly greetings. Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant. When you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him. For one sort of friend is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in the time of distress. Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your shame. Another is a boon companion, who will not be…
2 Cor.10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sits itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. I had a worry/what if syndrome since I was a child. Finally one day, God and I said, ”Enough is Enough!” I was bound and determined that I would do anything and everything to change my Stinkn Thinkn (Joyce Meyer). One thing I learned BIG TIME! Meds and therapy helped a great deal. However, just like a sleazy viper, worry occasionally reared its ugly head. It struck…
As previously revealed, My Granny and mother both had “The Gift of God’s Wisdom.” Oh, you bet they were human, and had their faults; however, they were wise in the spirit. For years, as I rebuilt my life, I prayed for the Gift of Wisdom. The summer of 2000, I began boldly to digest Psalms and Proverbs. I’d sit on my big country porch and read, study, write, and respond. A rather comical incident occurred, once I began my inhalation of The Word. In my dreams, I kept hearing and seeing the words, ”tree of life.” This same…
October 6,2000. My cousin Diana’s son Jeffrey was at the farm for the weekend. I knew in my spirit, the following: · As I took him home to Cincinnati, I was supposed to meet her at All Saints Catholic Church for 4:00pm mass. This church was my home parish in my youth. I attended All Saints Elementary, and was married there also. · I knew that I was called there for a reason. · I responded to the call as I knelt there prior to mass. “Lord, whatever it is that you want me to do, annoint me to fulfill…
JOBS, ILLNESSES, PROBLEMS,FAMILY “I can’t, Lord. I’m not strong enough. Remember….. There’s so much I have to overcome. I’m so afraid. Good Lord, how will I ever get through this?” These were the LIES that the evil one placed in my head…..UNTIL…. THE SPIRIT TOOK OVER MY MIND. 1 Samuel 16:17 But the Lord said to Samuel, ”Do not consider his appearance or his height (Goliath), for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outer appearance, but the Lord looks at…
Ps 34:17-18 The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those crushed in spirit. WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE SERVE! Since I retired from teaching four years ago, I have kept my foot in the door. Once a teacher, always a teacher; I keep involved, in the field of education, by consulting. It was a glorious day! The principal and teachers were over the top with hugs, smiles, laughter, and much appreciation for me. If I heard it once, I heard…
“I’m a happy warrior. Be strong, not wrong! ” Herman Cain Joshua 1:5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. One of my very favorite people: He started out as a janitor. Just view what a strong work ethic and confidence can fulfill in one’s life. Herman Cain: He is an Afro-American author, business executive, radio host, syndicated columnist, and Tea Party Activist. He was a Republican nominee for…
The Shepherd will find You. Isaiah 40:10-11 See, The Sovereign Lord comes with power, His arm rules for them. See, His reward is with Him and His recompense accompanies Him. He tends His flock like a shepherd; He carries the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads those that have young. If you are a mother, you will do anything to keep your children healthy and safe. You’d give your own life for them, if need be. If you are a woman of faith, the future of your child’s…
Jeremiah 1: 5 Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Recently, I went with one of my friends to a Little Big Town Concert in Columbus, Ohio. I am a spirit listener, and often He speaks to me in the most outrageous situations. During the concert, the tech/lighting crew was flashing colored lights throughout the crowd, giving an aesthetic nuance. Here were my thoughts: *Look at the thousands of the people in this arena. They are, just a speck…
Matt 23:1-4 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to His disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat. So you must obey them (10 commandments). But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and place them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.” Today, March 2, 2018, at noon, I will be watching the funeral of Dr. Billy Graham, on Fox News. What would I have ever done without him…
