Order Your Steps

Last Monday, I was sitting on my bed after sending out the podcast for the week and my eyes were drawn to the cover of my journal which says, “God is with her, she will not fall.” Psalm 46:5 … Now I found that quite interesting, in light of last week’s episode, “Falling on Our Faith”. So, I was a little confused. But think about it, falling on your face usually denotes failure, but falling on your...

Last week, we talked about “A New Beginning”! So Now What? Oftentimes, when we start something brand new, or when we’ve made a huge decision or encountered a major change is our lives; in the back of our minds, we wonder if we’ve made a BIG mistake, and that we might just “fall flat on our faces”. Today, as we begin our lives afresh, I’d like to suggest that we try to “Fall Flat on Our Faith”! &nb...

I would venture to say that most of you will not be able to truly enjoy this week’s podcast, because you are just too busy. The only time you can even take 5 minutes to listen, is while you are driving to work, working, or driving home and for those of you that are not commuting, I’m not sure when you’d have time.  But I'd like to challenge you to stop what you are doing and open your eyes to...

Full disclosure , I’m kind of a perfectionist. Over the years, God has had to teach me what “perfect” really means and I’m still learning. It means that I can pursue excellency, but I should not try to be excellent.  That's His Job! So, I guess you are wondering where I’m going with this… We don’t always get it right, but we are not meant to be perfect... I hope that you enjoy this week's epi...

First, allow me to apologize that my introduction is somewhat faint... Last week, we talked briefly about knocking on doors. So now, I’m somewhat curious as to what doors are we waiting to open? Have you been knocking a long time and the doors just won’t open? So, the ultimate question is will we be ready “when the door opens”? Let’s continue from where we were last week, we were knocking and I be...

We often speak about the Lord opening doors. Our doors of opportunity to thrive and prosper in this life. But my question is: Are you knocking on the door?... or are you just waiting for the door to open? Are you listening for your next assignment or are you avoiding the one that you’ve already been given?  The future that we hope for, should be one that has fulfilled the purpose that God has...

This week we need to spend a little more time in Jeremiah 29, because remember, God exiled the good and the bad. So, when you take a moment to look at the chaos of this life and it feels like God has sent you into Babylon, you have to know that “There’s More to Your Story” .  I pray that after this episode, you will see Jeremiah 29:11 with a new spiritual perspective. May the eyes of our unde...

We all have a story, with the good and the not-so-good; the ups and downs; the detours that take us off course and the roadblocks that stop us in our tracks.  Although, we would rather not acknowledge that God allows the unexpected tragedies, He continues to give us miraculous blessings. So, as we began to talk about last week, when God said, “I know the thoughts that I think towards you” in...

I don’t about you, but I have soooo many questions right now!  I believe that we all are looking for answers… We ask God for an explanation and He says "Just Trust Me".  Knowing all the challenges that we face, He continues to Bless us, because God Has a Plan!   One of my favorites, if not my very favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11 and it may be yours too.  But early in 2020,...

After my encounter with stress and anxiety, of the worst kind, that I experienced the week before last, I feel like I can breathe again! As I had mentioned, the issue was on instant replay in my mind for the entire week. Ultimately, I realized that I had made an assumption, justified my assumption and drew my own conclusion. Some of you may be able to relate... or maybe not.  There are a few...

It is so very easy to get distracted with life situations and circumstances that dominate our thoughts or worst yet, we get sucked into Yahoo News or the deep dark hole of YouTube. We have to be constantly reminded to "Set our hearts on things above"! I hope that you enjoy this week's episode. We welcome your thoughts and comments so please hit the message button. If this podcast has encouraged an...

It was early Friday morning and I hadn’t received my Holy Ghost Download for this week. I have to admit that I was a tad discouraged and in the midst of convincing myself that it was time to stop doing the podcast, because only 2 or 3 would isten to it anyway… and the Holy Spirit said, “if only for one”! In my moment of pride, I found myself being driven by today’s culture, which measures success...

Yes, this is another movie reference from Encanto . In the movie, Bruno, the son, had a gift that was perceived to have a negative effect on their lives, not only by his family, but by his community, So Bruno left and no one was supposed to talk about Bruno !  Is there someone that has simply walked away from you? Someone that you held close and just can't understand why they would leave. Is...

I would venture to say that over the years, we all have built up defense walls to protect ourselves; our feelings, our emotions, our hearts. It has been our only means of survival. We tell ourselves that it really doesn't matter, we are ok, but in actuality, we are not ok. The Walls Must Come Down! It's time for us to release any bitterness that may be lingering in your heart and the healing proce...

It's a New Year! Don't wait Shout Now and Sing Loud!  Life will continue to have its ups and downs and there may be moments when life gets hard and the battles may be fierce... But, Don't wait till the battle is over, Shout Now... and Sing Loud! I hope that you enjoyed this week's episode. We welcome your thoughts and comments so please hit the message button. If this podcast has encouraged a...

As another really tough year ends, there is something that we need to know... we must trust in the Lord with our entire being.  Once we completely TRUST the Lord, we will find His Peace, a Peace that passes ALL understanding. As a New Year begins, and yes, there will still be challenges, but there will also be God’s Blessings and Favor on our lives, so don’t forget to take a quiet moment to l...

The biblical definition of “hope” is to trust in, wait for, look for or to expect something beneficial in the future. As I continued to read about “hope”, I found something very interesting. It said, “God promises that those who wait on Him will not be disappointed”  No matter the situation or circumstance, the Lord has given us “Hope for Today… and Tomorrow”!  So why are we worried? There are tim...

I truly believe that Faith or the lack of faith is at the heart of our biggest challenges and our greatest struggles.  This is why we need "A Faith Anchor" , that person or persons that keeps us grounded, who constantly reminds us that God has NEVER failed us yet and He NEVER will!  So this week, I Welcome My Special Guest, My Faith Anchor, My husband, Kurt, who will share what Faith mea...

Over the past few weeks, we talked about "Experiencing Doubt.. but Choosing Joy...and now Having Faith?" So what does the word "faith" mean to you?  Throughout the book of Hebrews, there are numerous examples of people who had faith; who believed that God would do exactly what He said.  We will talk about a few of them, along with someone who's not in the Bible, someone that you may not...

Last week we talked about experiencing Doubt and I felt that it warranted a little more discussion. Doubt is such a natural response to a situation that we are uncertain of the outcome.  But doubt can only be a temporary state of mind and our task is not to allow it to last too long.  On the other hand, Joy is a choice! It's up to us to decide that the "Joy of the Lord is our Strength" ....

Recently, I have read that the more we try to suppress, repress and even rebuke our doubt, that feeling of uncertainty and other uncomfortable feelings, the more stressed and anxious we become.  Do you realize that the Bible talks about every conceivable emotion and or situation we could experience?  This week we are going to look at what the Bible says about Doubt! We would love to hear...

It was 6:30 last Wednesday morning and I was wondering what to share with you this week... but I was on the verge of tears, because I was in my feeling AGAIN!  Unfortunately, when I get restless, I have a lot of time to get in my feelings. I go into that "what if" headspace ... How about you?  Let's talk alittle about the constant battle between our Faith and our Feelings! I hope that yo...

Last week, we talked about Spiritual Fatigue and this week we are going to look at Spiritual Vitality.  I have found that Spiritual Vitality starts with a real, long, DEEP breath. This is where spiritual rejuvenation and restoration begins. These days, we have a new daily routine … but are we breathing? Or have we simply pushed pass our feelings and our fatigue?   I hope that you enjoy t...

I pray that you were with us last week, when we talked about "Waiting is Hard"! Although, this week I thought that we would look at Jeremiah 29:11, one of my favorite scriptures, the Holy Spirit had other ideas. While listening to a message last week, I discovered that one of the main reasons why "Waiting is so Hard"... is "Spiritual Fatigue"!  We become physically, mentally, emotionally and...

Have you ever considered asking the Lord for patience? If so, I'd strongly suggest that you don't... until you think it all the way through. No, I'm serious! In order to have patience, you not only have to learn how to wait, but you have to learn to wait in anticipation and expectation, not frustration.  Let's embrace the opportunity while waiting, especially during difficult times, to make r...
