Stepping out in faith…
I’ve taken some time off from writing on this blog because I just needed a break from pouring out to replenish my soul a bit. I’ve still been at church leading worship every Sunday. We’ve had a few guest speakers recently and they did a great job, I just needed my focus to be elsewhere. …

Sometimes we have a hard time realizing what talents the Holy Spirit has gifted us with. I think that's because we don't see ourselves as others see us. I have a friend like this. Her eyesight is compromised because she suffers from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It's a rare disorder that affects the skin and in rare …
I ran across a devotional this morning that brought to light how many people think if God gives them a gift of the Spirit, it’s a talent completely developed. That it’s neatly labeled, and tied with a shining red ribbon. If they don’t, then they proclaim, they aren’t “my gifts.” It’s like the man that …

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth - he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do, No king is saved by …

Be the spark that lights the flame of hope.
It's a Wednesday, and I've still got Sunday's sermon running through my mind. Some of our pastor's last words were, "Be honest, take stock in where you put your trust. Is your faith - faith, or is it lip service? Ask God for your sign." Okay, I'm going to be honest. When I really want …
