Thy Will Be Done

PRAYER. Do you believe in it? If so, are you truly giving Jesus room to answer you the way He wants to, or are you only willing to accept the answer that you want? Thy will be done, Lord. Less of me, and more of thee…. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. Colossians […]

Think about THESE things

If you’re in the habit of waking up at 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 am and then have a difficult time going back to sleep, welcome to my world. I don’t have nightmares, nor do I toss and turn. It’s like I’m in a sound sleep and someone whispers my name. One early morning, I woke […]

It Ain’t Happening

For years I’ve had the same thing for breakfast. Can you relate?  It started right before my freshman year in college and continued on until this week. What I’m saying is that I’ve had about thirty-nine years worth of cinnamon flavored Pop-tarts! Isn’t that crazy? (Don’t knock ‘em until you’ve tried them!) Another thing I […]

Power in Prayer

I’ve been reading a book about the power of prayer. It’s called  The Power of a Praying Woman, by Stormie Omartian. I’m pretty sure I’ve read this before, but the timing seems to be better for me this time around. She talks about those times when you have to do something that you don’t want to […]
