One of my favorite verses is : “I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” (Philippians 1:6, AMP) I must admit that sometimes when I’m reading […]

Becoming a better me … I do write about this a great deal because it’s so important… at least this is what I believe. I have made some discoveries regarding this subject. The first one is desire. You have to want to become your best because no one is going to do this for you! No magic wand.

While I realize that the title sounds like a ‘duh’… we often don’t apply that thinking. Once we, because it is we that do this, put any one or any thing in cement – they’re (we’re) stuck, nothing can move. Cement is not designed to be flexible, it’s design so that whatever is in it

How did this make you feel? Slightly embarrassed? Irritated?
Remember this song? The chorus gives us one lifestyle option to consider. Do you try and practice the thought? “One day at a time sweet Jesus that’s all I’m asking from you Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine So for my sake teach me
In April, 2020 a Grace Covenant Church’s article stated: “Biblical waiting is not a passive activity, but is demonstrated by active dependence upon and obedience to God.” I’m sure others have also come to this realization. Too often we do think that if we wait, that’s what we do… wait (think – twiddle thumbs). I don’t
