Encouragement, edification, and empowerment from a biblical perspective for true transformation.

  • Thankful

    Today I am thankful for all God has done. As I move comfortably into this next phase now, God is faithful. Sometimes we want a thing right now, which is not always the best thing for us. God gives us the best always; not necessarily what we want but what we need. Hallelujah! Today I…

  • The Greatest Love of All

    Jesus came for me in April of 1983. As I was reading Jennifer Camp this morning, her writing brought to mind the clarity of Jesus’ Love for me. I was 25. In the last 38 years on this Christian journey, there have been plenty ups and downs, challenges, etc. At the beginning, I was zealous,…

  • Better Choices for 2022

    Making better choices for your life. It is time. Instead of suffering consequences that can be minimized or avoided altogether, consider the choice you make in any given moment. A lot of times it is stated that a negative action is who that person is. It is not, it is a choice. That choice then…

  • “DRAPE” Yourselves

    Sometimes it’s necessary to establish a process when we want to move forward. Moving forward in our lives means establishing a game plan. A decision has been made, then you get stuck. Well, I came up with this acronym as a process to help you. Short and sweet because the details are yours. DECIDE– Make…

  • Wednesday 12.16.21

    Hi, everyone. I am bringing to you my thoughts for today. Things have been changing much since I retired from the corporate world on October 14th, 2021. I am glad to finally make that move and spend more time growing in grace, writing, taking pictures, coaching, etc. A lot has changed already in these last…

  • Seize the Day!

    Today I come humbly before you asking for your prayers for my family. I just retired and now have to bury my oldest son. As of this moment, retirement is bittersweet. He was 37 years old and died of a heart attack. This post is entitled Seize the Day because all we really have is…

  • Wednesdays Wonder

    Today I just thought I would just share a part of my journey in this retirement transition. I love taking my own photos for this blog. This picture I finally captured in trying to get the depth of field right. Been on the training and working with my camera a good portion of the day.…

  • Have a Grateful Heart

    Have a Grateful Heart

    Gratitude is important to God. Getting up with a grateful heart sets my mind that no matter what happens, there is something to be grateful for. Just the thought of the goodness of God, brings a spirit of gratitude. I didn’t have to be here today. Reflection of the many times that the enemy tried…

  • Trees…Growing in Grace

    On Wednesday last week on my way to work, I read John 17. This chapter of John talks about Jesus. He prayed for all of us believers before we ever came to be. I appreciated that. I looked around me at the trees. I found my source of inspiration. On the block walking to work,…

  • Processing the Journey

    Processing our journey. Enjoy the process. What do those things really mean? As I have pondered the discussion of this topic, I do concede that I do not have all the answers. Barely any of them. But I will share what I have concluded from my own journey. Processing to me means evaluating the events…

  • Hope

    On my way to work early one morning, I captured this picture of the rising sun. When I have moments like these, I am moved. I recognize that God created this moment just to bless me. Hope is the foundation of moving through all the fires, challenges, disappointments, betrayals, losses, griefs and every other emotional…

  • God’s Handprint

    Thought I would share this image I took walking to the bus stop going to work on September 18th at 6:38 am. I walked outside and saw this beautiful picture of the sun as soon as I walked outside. I immediately took the picture. There are times when I feel like I want to go…

  • Trusting God Now – Really?

    Yes, really. While pondering trust this week, it is apparent that many people may not want to trust God right now. How could He allow this to happen? I can understand this thought process. However, at this time, God is the only one you can trust. Psalm 20:7 – “Some trust in chariots and some…

  • Gratitude

    Gratitude is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. This is synonymous with respect; acknowledgment; indebtedness which is a sense of obligation and appreciation; recognition; regard. The importance of this definition and these synonyms is understanding. It is all about our perspective of God and why He asks…

  • Triple O

    Omnipotent, all-powerful. God is the creator of the universe contrary to popular beliefs. As described in Psalm 74:13-17, He is the master of all. There is nothing that God cannot do. Yet, as powerful as He is, He won’t force Himself into our lives. We must let Him in and give Him the control. He…
