I’m sure you’ve heard the acronym “WWJD—What Would Jesus Do?”. The phrase came from Rev. Charles Sheldon and his book “In His Steps,” published in 1896. Later, Janie Tinklenberg came up with the acronym. The thought process behind this is for the individual to stop and think just as Jesus would before reacting to a…
Yep! You read that right. This week’s Mid-Week Encouragement post was interrupted. I had a thought in my mind, and then suddenly there was one thing after another that happened. Sure, I had plans. I had plans that were scheduled to be done at specific times. I ended up with a majority finished, but then,…
My thoughts are swirling this week. There have been so many distractions that it has been hard to concentrate. I found myself seeking out a place of solace to go to and have a moment with God. When I would finally get the moment, all I wanted to do was sit in peace. Have you…
Have you ever had one of those moments where you knew from the very beginning that something wasn’t going to end well? It is in those moments where you have the option to do one of two things: you can watch it all go down in flames, or you can stop it from going any…

Have you ever heard the term “Complacency Kills!”? Recently, I was reading the book of Isaiah due to the Lord’s prompting, and a verse jumped out at me. “You women who are so complacent, rise up and listen to me; you daughters who feel secure, hear what I have to say!” Isaiah 32:9, New International…
I want to start this post off with a question, one in which I hope the answer you give will be honest. 😉 Do you struggle with patience? Or are you one of those who simply go with the flow, trusting that when the time is right, God will do exactly what He says He…
I’m going to start this post off with a question. One in which I think may be difficult for some people. Who do you have in your life that you can truly trust? Think of someone other than your spouse. Who was the first person that came to mind? Now, let’s rephrase this question. Who…
