God’s Love Language

God’s love language is worship. Yesterday, Pastor Stan, shared this message at Cloverhill Assembly of God.  If you want to show God just how much you love Him–worship!  God is an emotional God.  The Bible shares that God can be angry, show pity, be merciful, take delight,……  God is not a computer or machine, or…

Because He Lives!

Keep it moving. Life is filled with twists and turns and unexpected surprises. My mom’s favorite quotes for me ring true Bloom where you are planted. Face the challenge “line upon line”. When you have a day in which every category of your life seems to be a cacophony of questions and unresolved issues, you…

Thank you for the water…

  My God you have blessed our family beyond measure.  I could never remember every detail of my life in which you provided, protected, and gave in abundance.  Jesus, I’m not talking about material things, although I’ve never lacked.  I’m grateful for the things money can’t buy and the story between the lines of my…

This Time…

Leah and Rachel lived unusual lives as sisters. Their story is found beginning in Genesis chapter 29.  Leah was the oldest but was not loved by Jacob.  Jacob was deceived by his father-in-law and Leah was the tool.  Leah’s younger sister Rachel was described as beautiful and desired most of all by Jacob. Most of…

Compassion: An honest look at a commonly used word (life changing!)

Brene’ Brown is one of my favorite social workers.  I come back to her work from time to time to study professionally and personally.  Recently a friend sent me a link to her book The Gifts of Imperfection to download on Kindle.  So glad she remembered me!  I’m stuck on page 15 of my Kindle book….

Little Things Matter

It’s the little things in life that are big to me.  God delivers us and heals our afflictions; yet, I find the greatest joy in how He talks to us through daily events.  Simple gestures that let you know He is right there. As I headed to work to read to a child who was struggling…

What about the six men?

After listening to a sermon on the woman at the well in which Jesus spoke to the woman about her 5 husbands, divorces, and current cohabitation, I began to ask or ponder–“What about the men?” The woman encountered Jesus at the well and was forever changed.  Her influence over her small village created a bridge…

The Woman at the Well– Part II of Reconciliation: No Regrets

The young adult’s pastor from Cloverhill Assembly of God shared a message on the woman at the well.  He spent time on the word “had”. …Now he had to go through Samaria. John Chapter 4 Through lengthy research methods, he found no reason why Jesus had to go through Samaria other than a passionate purpose–“I…

Reconciliation: No Regrets

I have a friend who shared a four-part series from Journey Christian Church.  The link will guide you to the “Fight Club” messages.  Part 1 and 2 are testimonies that will knock your socks off!  WOW!  I listened to them several times.  Part 3 and 4 are from Andy Stanley on strategies.  The sermon notes…

Summer Cleaning with Jesus

Oh Glorious moments with Jesus!  When He shows up–He shows up!  And, for some reason, He shows up in the mundane, every-day life.  I’m cleaning.  I’m doing the type of cleaning that you find dust bunnies and carry on a conversation with them.  The cleaning that you find stuff you need, and praise God you…
