Parched Places

imageMaybe it’s just another hurdle.
Another obstacle.
Another place right.
Those parched places. Why can’t we just escape?

I’m sure Jeremiah asked that question plenty of times. The weeping prophet had so much to say. He never held it back.
You’ve got to love Jeremiah, for there is one in us all. One that is more than familiar with those parched places.

Thus says the LORD:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:5-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Continue reading


JusChrist4 – One Year Later

imageHola! Greetings to all as I write. I am so excited to share that this page has been active for 365 days! God is good. I celebrate what God is doing through this gift of writing and for all others that have a call to WRITE upon their life as well.

It is not easy. You face many challenges, fears and constant reservations. Such as,

“Is my writing any different?”

“Does this make a difference?”

“Is there too much redundancy?”

“Is this new and not something someone else already wrote?”

“Is anyone even going to take the time to read this?!”

Well, YES they are! I have received countless feedback of readers and people that I know to find these words encouraging, uplifting and inspirational! I have heard that the words came at the right time. I have heard that God used this as a platform to confirm things in the lives of others. I have heard others say they look forward to the next. And many other family and friends tell me,

“Just Write!”

“Keep writing!”

“Don’t stop!” Continue reading


When The Red Flags Are Opportunities!

imagePraise God… I just came back from such a motivational teaching at a dear brother and sister’s house nearby. I go to give knowing I need to receive as well.

That I did…

She said – “What one will see as red flags; you will see as opportunities!”

We high fived! LOL

We don’t always see good things everywhere, but they are there. Seek and you shall find! That is what God tells us always.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
Matthew 7:7-8 (New King James Version)

Be Anxious For No-Thing

imageWhat does it mean to be anxious?

Dictionary.Com defines anxious as the following:

Full of mental distress or uneasiness because of fear of danger or misfortune; greatly worried; solicitous. I think lots of times many of us fuss with this common emotion of anxieties.

We feel afraid, concerned, frustrated, stressed out, uneasy, unstable, uncertain and the like. This is our natural state, but we can overcome this too. Can we be anxious for NO-thing that tries to plague us? How?

By practice…. Continue reading
