Reflection & Discovery #RIGHTTOTHESOUL

Ever wonder how the Apostle Paul was able to be “content in all things” while being imprisoned. Think about all he had gone through: stripped and beaten with rods, thrown into the unlit inner cells, feet locked into stocks and sitting in filth and stench. How could he sleep, let alone, be joyful enough to […]

Run away! Okay, not really. But as a child, that’s what I had learned. Every time my parents fought (often), my mom’s reaction was “I’m leaving!” So, later in life, that’s all I knew how to do. And to make it worse, I learned that if one felt passionate about something, then you SHOULD argue […]

YOU ARE VALUABLE. Your worth is not determined by where you are or those around you. God made you because He loves you and you are a treasure to Him. I hope this analogy helps you see that.  A bottle of water at Costco is 25¢.The same bottle in the grocery store is worth about […]

As I kid, I was taught to recite memorized prayers. Later in my 30s, I realized one can just talk to God by pouring out your heart. And then…the best thing can happen…if you will be SILENT and LISTEN, you might actually hear God speak. I have 3 very short stories in my book that […]

You may have read a previous post about all the things God worked out to help me move my 95-yr-old mom, but let me share part of that again, simply to focus on the POWER that God adds to our lives. It’s beyond anything you will ever create on your own.  Let me share one […]

Conviction is God’s tap on the shoulder saying, “You’re heading (or you’ve gone) in the wrong direction.” It is God’s way of inviting you to restore […]

Some things can’t be changed, but sometimes we can improve our lives tremendously. Let’s take a few minutes to pretend. If life is a fairytale and it’s up to you to create a happy ending, what would you do differently than you’re doing now? THE PURPOSE of THIS POST is to understand that new beginnings (fairy tale […]

The first time I KNEW God was calling to me was when a gal took me to Calvary Chapel, Capo Bch. It was a strange, dark place – an old bowling alley that had been converted into a church. Nothing but folding chairs (hundreds of them) lined across a concrete floor in front of a […]

Some days you feel like you’re walking all alone in a scary world, uncertain about your future and the future of your loved ones. But I want to tell you, God is real and He pays attention to every detail of your life. He is still working miracles today. Let me share one. A few […]

Stories about predators befriending prey not only amaze me but give me hope that one day people of all colors and beliefs will live in peace. Even though that seems impossible, the Bible tells us that one day there will be peace, and one day every knee will bow (to Christ Jesus). The important thing […]
