Mirror

When I look in the mirror, what do I see, I see the image that others get of me. Do they see every blemish? Do they see every scar? That serve as reminders of what I’ve endured thus far. Do they see that I am broken? Do they see that I am whole? Do theyContinue reading “Mirror”

My Treasure Lies

My treasure lies on angel’s wings,Where His presence rests and cherubs sing.Not where moth and rust destroy, Or in the arms of a girl or boy. My treasure lies upon a lamb slain,In an eternal place where the Son of Man reigns.Not in a bank stored up where thieves steal,Or in a lie that appearsContinue reading “My Treasure Lies”

Is That All You Have?

Let me be the first to say that I detest grocery shopping. From the lines, insufficient registers, and crowds, I could do without all of it. Let’s just say I try to avoid it at all means. I make every effort to get everything I think we may need every time I go because IContinue reading “Is That All You Have?”

Deciduous or Evergreen: Which One Are You?

Fall is my favorite season. It is representative of the transition from the smoldering heat of summer to the cold of winter. Now, I am speaking from an ideal perspective. However, I live in Texas. So, it usually doesn’t happen that way. It is not unusual for Fall to have 90-degree weather but due toContinue reading “Deciduous or Evergreen: Which One Are You?”

What’s In a Name?

What’s in a name hundreds of centuries-old? That’s still able to move mountains when upon it’s called. What’s in a name? Whether Gentile or Jew? That is full of power and mighty to save both me and you. What’s in a name that makes demons tremble and flee? And yet gentle enough when spoken toContinue reading “What’s In a Name?”

Remember When…

Yesterday, while I was cleaning, the Lord asked me a question. He asked, “Do you remember when you prayed for where you are now?” That very question caused me to pause and reflect on where I am currently in my life. Immediately, I began to recount the many petitions I had taken before the LordContinue reading “Remember When…”

Hope

Over the past three years, I have reflected on my decision to leave the classroom often and have no regrets. Honestly, I miss working with the students and my coworkers the most, not the actual job itself. I believe that the seventeen years I was blessed to do it were a fulfilled divine assignment. IContinue reading “Hope”

“Seeing Is Not Believing”

2 Corinthians 5:7 NLT – For we live by believing and not by seeing. 2 Corinthians 5:7 is one of my favorite scriptures. I have had this frame (in the picture) with my daughter’s picture walking down the middle of a highway at night in our hometown in East Texas for years. If any ofContinue reading ““Seeing Is Not Believing””

Release It!

My husband and I have always had the most interesting conversations. It is a mix of thought sharing, production, and revelation. It’s like what I am saying pulls things from him and him from me. Every time we end a conversation, I’m always left feeling empowered and challenged at the same time. I know thatContinue reading “Release It!”
