Faith-Filled February

imageWelcome to February. We made it through the first month of the year, we survived the cold, the storm and the busyness. As they say in Spanish, “Hay Mas!” Which means, “There is more!” And I am in so much expectancy. Filled with faith for this month that God will continue to take us right on through what He promised us.

To some, this is a birthday month, an anniversary month, a love month or perhaps a month some wish it to pass. Whatever the case is for you—let it be a Faith-Filled February. The blade is popping up for our tremendous testimonies to be told!

This is going to be a FANTASTIC month! ❤ Continue reading


Slippery Slopes and Dangerous Ditches

imageNew York City got sacked with snow for the first blizzard of 2016. I know many other areas got hit bad as well. We suffer, especially in our neighborhood because the plow takes longer to pass through our streets. In our part of town it is also primarily hills. This makes for some serious hazardous conditions when the weather takes its toll. Blizzards, icy conditions or rain storms bring havoc to our small town. It is horrible. The streets are covered with the remains of snow, deeply impacting everyone’s commute. Driving in to work, I have to consider the best roads to take. There is a lot of planning to pass through the best detours to avoid further delays.

Sure enough, as I took the first detour to bypass a huge downward hill—clearly you can see a huge truck, flashing lights and another car that took out the top of the hill. It was certainly a bad slippery slope and a dangerous ditch that drivers must avoid. We have to ensure at all costs that we always avoid the most dangerous things, as it impacts our health, mental state and even our souls. Continue reading


False Dreams

imageDo not let false dreams that creep up try to get the best of you, when God has got this.

This is what the Lord says—
Your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
Who teaches you what is best for you,
Who directs you in the way you should go.”
Isaiah 48:17

They are false—not true or correct; erroneous; uttering or declaring what is untrue; not faithful or loyal; treacherous; tending to deceive or mislead; deceptive; not genuine; counterfeit; based on mistaken, erroneous, or inconsistent impressions, ideas or facts; used as a substitute or supplement, especially temporarily.

This is all a trap to try and hinder the truth of God’s promises.

What has been presented to you lately as false? Continue reading


My Darling Daughter

image

I started an online bible plan today titled, “Beauty Marks” from a mobile app. It shares, “What makes a woman beautiful. To be unbeautiful is demeaning our value as women and as God’s creation. We redeem what beauty really is and learn the kind of beauty that glorifies God.”

What a constant thought for many.

I’m considering this young woman. She was dark, different and devalued. She would not think of herself as beautiful among thousands.

What makes her stand out above the rest?

What makes her matter?

What makes her even considered?

She looks for this one named Solomon. A king, a leader, a lover and a state of art type of man in those days. He had thousands of choice women. What makes her any different. What makes her feel loved? What makes her feel important? What makes her feel beautiful? What makes her remembered? Continue reading
