HE DELIGHTS IN ME? WHAT THE? WHO ME???? The Lord your God is with you. He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing. Psalm 73:23-26 Yet, I am always with you, you hold me by your right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? Earth has nothing I desire besides You? My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart…
YOU HAVE TO BURN A LOT OF MARSHMALLOWS………. TO CREATE A GREAT SOMEMORE. Sometimes I’m Feeling Quite Crispy! Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. You know the scenario…..try… try again? Well, that’s life in a nutshell. My Granny was so right. With age comes wisdom. Trust me…My husband and I will be 69 and 70 respectively, within the coming year. We have a great deal of life experience. In fact we have mentored many young people. Throughout…
He Wanted Me to Know, ”IT WAS ME!” Suffering Creates Wisdom, Change, And Knowledge Colossians 1:29 Without God ,I can do nothing. To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me. 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. *Everything that I write….. *Everything that I worked so hard to accomplish…….. Everything that I teach…… Everyone that I mentor…….. * Every year that I struggled to raise 3, strong Christian men along with my husband….…… *Every degree I’ve earned…
wedding in 1948 Mother. Mom. Mommy. Mama. She will go by many names and for many she is a beloved figure in their lives. For me, she was my best friend and anchor, and I lost her, in this world, 20 years ago! My mama passed to heaven on July 31st, 1998. I have gone 20 years without seeing her smile, hearing her voice laugh, chat, and even scold at times. There is nothing in this world, to me at least, like the love of a mother. Except the love of the Father above! A mother carries her child within…
REJOICE!!!!! He Spoke To My Heart Very Profoundly 46 Years Ago.”.He’s the One!” Anniversary Dinner at Outback Habakkuk 3:18 I will rejoice before the Lord. I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign is my strength. He makes my feet like a deer. He enables me to go on the heights. I do rejoice! I’ve been blessed with a good Christian man for 46 years. However……he’s lucky that I haven’t killed him yet. LOLOL!! I was at Outback Steakhouse sitting across from a very handsome, white-haired man. To look at…

I AM A PRISONER! Live Worthy Of Your Calling. Eph .4:1-6 As a Prisoner for the Lord, then I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle. Be patient bearing with one another. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit, through the bond of peace. There is One Body and One Spirit, just as you were called to One Hope.(One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God and Father of All, who is over all, and through all.) It’s hard to be gentle…
DWELL IN A SAFE PASTURE. I Don’t Own My Extended Family’s Problems… GOD DOES! Psalm37: 3-4 Trust in The Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in The Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. God has created me to be a mentor..a teacher…a fixer of problems…. A cheer leader for those not knowing where to turn. LOLO!! However, there is a fine line between mentoring and sticking my nose in where it doesn’t belong. There’s some issues in my extended family…

HE KNOWS MY HEART AND LOVES ME JUST THE WAY I AM. Change Me Into Your Likeness, Dear Lord. Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me and You know me. You know when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down. You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely. OH BROTHER! A WORD ON MY TONGUE? I’ve asked forgiveness for that one flaw, from my dearest friends, a few times. Thank the Good Lord, He does love…
When a person is happy, you might hear them humming, singing, or even belting out a tune! What happens if a person is sad or depressed? You might hear songs then, too. Oftentimes, if I’m worried or preoccupied, I will hum. Twenty years ago, my mother passed away and I didn’t realize until weeks later that I had begun humming hymns several weeks before she passed. Then, when my father died I did the same thing and several months after that, my first husband died and I again went through the humming and even singing while…
twinkle, twinkle little star how I wonder what you are… A children’s rhyme that is very popular with girls, boys, young and even older. Today, I was watching a sweet little girl and we were reading a book for bedtime; it was about a person drawing a star. As I read I realized the 5 point star we are taught to draw clearly resembles a person. Also, the star in the sky, could that be Jesus watching out over all of his ‘children’ both young and old? We must remember that Christ is human, at…
GOD IS GENTLE AND HOLDS US IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. 2 Samuel 22:31 The Word of God is flawless. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. GOD’S WORD’S TO ME:”I will never leave you. You will never shame me.” LOL! OH REALLY? THAT’S NOT WHAT SISTER MARY NOT SO BRIGHT pounded into me for 12 years. God’s Grace and freedom are so amazing. Too bad it didn’t soak in until I was 50…
DON’T MAKE MOUNTAINS OUTTA MOLEHILLS! Think Before You React. Isaiah 41: 13 For I am The Lord Your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, ”Do not fear, I will help you.” God taught me many years ago, that I’m a lot stronger than I think I am. Granny and Mom always insisted upon one thing, ”Don’t make mountains outta molehills!” Unfortunately, I had a family member with special needs, and over reaction was a huge problem. I made a positive choice and promise to myself, that I would try my best…
