Confusing Pieces

Usually at least once a week I am mystified by a situation in my life and confusion sets in. Our first instinct is to fix it ourselves.  BIG mistake.  The more we try to fix, the bigger the problem becomes.  It’s as if we are taking one small hill and overnight turning it into aContinue reading “Confusing Pieces”

Stronger Pieces

Happy 2016!  This year our focus will be on strengthening our faith, looking at challenges with different eyes and learning that God is always, ALWAYS there.  No matter what.  Romans 4:20 But Abraham never doubted. He believed God, for his faith and trust grew ever stronger, and he praised God for this blessing even beforeContinue reading “Stronger Pieces”

Overwhelming Pieces

Today, a prayer was answered that came from a very heavy heart.  I believe when we intensify our prayer time, come to Jesus with everything we have, and all that we do not, with a pure heart and true honesty, when we lay down the hurt, grievances, heartache – God desires to free us fromContinue reading “Overwhelming Pieces”

Pieces of Support

Oftentimes (usually) we are unaware of those who pray for us, or our loved ones – due to the many prayer circles we belong to and friendships we have (and those of the people we know and don’t know). I received in my email today, a note from someone I don’t know – that encouragedContinue reading “Pieces of Support”

Pieces of Childhood

If you grew up in a family that attended church every Sunday, you will recall in your childhood, having to memorize bible verses.  Granted, they start you out with very short sentences when you are small, but by the time junior high rolls around, you are memorizing paragraphs plus having to remember all the versesContinue reading “Pieces of Childhood”

Questioning Pieces

Moments create life.  Some are harsh realities, others are joyful attributes, but all consume our living spaces, the air we breathe, our thoughts and feelings, actions and attempts, whether we succeed or fail – all depends on the foundation on which we stand.  Is yours on sand or concrete? We are not hopeless.  We deserveContinue reading “Questioning Pieces”

Pieces of Good Friday

Good Friday is a day of sorrow mingled with joy. It is a time to grieve over the sin of man and to meditate and rejoice upon God’s love in giving His only Son for the redemption of sin.  Keep in your heart today the incredible sacrifice made for your life.

Pieces of Harmony

The world is a place filled with violence, unrest, sorrow and anger.  It is also a place filled with beauty, love and peace.  How can we ever find a healthy, spiritual balance? HARMONY. c :  internal calm :  tranquility Psalm 32:7 You are a hiding place for me; You, Lord, preserve me from trouble, YouContinue reading “Pieces of Harmony”

Asking in Faith Piece

James 1:3-9 New International Version (NIV) 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will beContinue reading “Asking in Faith Piece”

Pieces of Clarity

There are many days as a believer that we stumble and fall.  Maybe more stumbling and falling than we care to admit, and sometimes we just have to sit with the confusion until we have clarity.  It’s not often (and usually not) a lightening bolt or gigantic billboard from God.  I believe personally, when theContinue reading “Pieces of Clarity”
