Celebration Hymn

These verses are repeated three times.  Isn’t it lovely?  Written for Steve Green Ministries Find Us Faithful O may all who come behind us, find us faithful. May the fire of our devotion, light their way. May the footprints that we leave; lead them to believe. And the lives that we live, inspire them toContinue reading “Celebration Hymn”

Pieces of Grace

Grace is the foundation of our faith and daily strength.  What then, does it mean to “live in grace”? For me, it is to be like-minded with Christ, to want what He wants for me, not the other way around.  It’s so easy for us to let time slip, days pass without opening our Bible,Continue reading “Pieces of Grace”

Pieces of Broken Chain

While doing my devotions this morning, I added music to my routine.  Blasted the volume on my laptop and plugged into YouTube and started with Selah, Wonderful Merciful Savior, then one of my favorites by Jesus Culture; “Break Every Chain.” I was reminded of what keeps me in bondage; bad habits some might say, butContinue reading “Pieces of Broken Chain”

Random Pieces

Today, I found a two sided piece of paper;  it fluttered from somewhere and landed behind my desk.  There are a few scribblings and a date of 12/4/2013. These exact kind of notes were the reason behind “The Pieces” book.  I wanted to share what God had shown me, inspired revelations that carried me fromContinue reading “Random Pieces”

Pieces of Forgiveness

I have struggled personally with the act of forgiveness.  Some resentment harbored over 30 years of my life.  Imagine.  Withholding forgiveness to another human being when Jesus forgives ME every day, sometimes many times a day.  I am not without sin.  How did it ever become my place to judge the actions of another? ItContinue reading “Pieces of Forgiveness”

Pieces of Discernment

Oftentimes we are given a scripture or thought to spend time figuring out.  Maybe it was easily understandable — but other times, we can’t make heads or tails over the meaning, or if it’s even a message for US. This is when spiritual discernment steps in.  Find a trusted advisor, someone who is spiritually sound,Continue reading “Pieces of Discernment”

Questioning Pieces

(From my personal meditation journal) I spent decades asking God why my mom had to die.  I finally – let it go.  There are circumstances we will not know until we meet Jesus in person. I don’t know how to pray when “I” have pain; so I say The Lords Prayer and it comforts me Continue reading “Questioning Pieces”

Pieces of Pain

Pain; whether physical or emotional can be incredibly exhausting.  Both take from us what we normally are able to handle.  We can pray through most of our heartache, we can take medicine that heals our body or mind, we can even crawl into a cave (literally or figuratively) and hide for a few hours orContinue reading “Pieces of Pain”

Pieces of Grace

The grace of God is always attainable, it’s nothing we have to do or say to make happen, it’s part of the many spiritual gifts available to us, “JUST” because our Father loves us. Acts 20:24  However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete theContinue reading “Pieces of Grace”

The testimony piece

Today I’d like to share part of my testimony with you, which – until this morning, I didn’t realize I had!  God doesn’t really work in mysterious ways, He reveals what we can handle! The biggest source of healing in my life, has been emotional.  All of my broken pieces have been soldered back together;Continue reading “The testimony piece”
