In All Thy Ways Acknowledge Him ~ Hannah Flaugher

Driving some streets and roads can also be quite confusing. At some intersections, turning left is illegal. The driver is required to turn right, go a short distance, and then make a U-turn to head in the desired direction. Sometimes you have the go a little ways up, make a left turn at a light, and then you can turn around then go your desired direction. In Michigan we call that a "Michigan left turn". SO frustrating. Sometimes there might be a round-about — a crazy of traffic flow that sends all vehicles in a left-handed circle until the sought after exit is reached. "Who designed this?" is often what i think.

Joy in Facing Death ~ Ann Evans

Every visit with my friend included a beautiful talk about our Lord. She would share what she read in God’s Word that encouraged her. We would delight in talking about God, His character, and His Word.

Bud Bloom & Blossom! - Amy Sapp

I don’t know about you, but anytime I see a fresh flower poking through the dirt, I feel a little bit of hope. I might be yelling at my kids from the front porch.. but inside, I’m feeling spiritual.

We love flowers, don’t we? We wear them on dresses, drink out of mugs with them on it, some of us even have flowery Bibles or Bible covers!

Don't Forget Your Jewelry! ~ Elizabeth Eaton

When the Bible speaks of the putting on of our clothing and ornaments (jewelry), the word often used is “adorn” or “adorning” which also has the meaning of “adding beauty by dress or external ornaments; to embellish; to set off to advantage” or “to make more pleasing.” While we should certainly strive to be attractive, appropriate, and modest outwardly, the majority of our time and focus should be on the adorning of our inner lady. 1 Peter 3:3-4 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning…but let it be the hidden man of the heart. So, how do we adorn, or embellish, our hidden man (lady) of the heart? What ornaments, or jewelry,

Work With Me Here ~ Suzanne Dunn

God wants you to do a work for Him! Have you heard something similar before? I understand the point one is attempting to make when he makes a similar statement. I, too, have asserted that God needs surrendered servants to with for Him. Although, there is no misunderstanding in the statement, and I agree with the statement, in truth, God does not need us to work for Him. He wants us to work with Him.

SCRABBLE ~ Laura Doss

God communicates to us through His Word..the Bible. Imagine not having the precious Words of God. We talk to God using WORDS…Prayer.

Strength for the Weary ~ Sandy Domelle

So often, we can let ourselves become weary because we are so focused on all that is going

on in our lives that we get sidetracked by the Devil. Some things that cause us to become

weary are health issues, financial struggles, family drama, and sometimes, it's just plain old

life getting the best of us. I believe the Devil uses this tactic on us so that we don't

accomplish all we need to do. When we are weary, we tend to complain and become a little

self-centered because of how it aﬀects us.

Reach for His Hand - Melody Decker

God’s Word has placed in my mind this beautiful picture of my Heavenly Father always standing at my right side with his left hand opened and waiting for me to take hold in absolute trust and confidence while He battles for me with the might of His right hand.

Choose Peace ~ Sarah Davis

This Christmas, may our homes and hearts be places where Christ’s
peace isn’t merely admired in a picture or carol—but practiced,
shared, and made real through the ministry of reconciliation.

Lord, Move Me Closer - Amy Sapp

I’ve always admired shepherds... you know, those patient, calm people with a staff and a soft voice who lead sheep so sweetly… and then I remember I can’t even lead my dog to his bed without snacks and promises!

Digging Wells for the Next Generation - Amy Sapp

Psalm 84 is a psalm of longing for the presence of God and the blessings that come from dwelling in His house. Within these verses, we find a powerful metaphor about making wells in dry places—a calling for us to create life-sustaining resources not just for ourselves, but for those coming behind us. Today, we will explore how we can live in such a way that we leave spiritual “wells” for others.

Grace Notes - Charlotte Cooper

n other words, extra notes are added to make the music feel fuller and more beautiful. Classical music is especially known for these “grace notes.” Some might hear them and think they’re mistakes — extra notes played before the “right” one. But they are not mistakes. They are planned, perfected, and placed at just the right time.

What Are You Holding On To? ~ Joy Comer

Don’t let whatever you are holding on to take away your peace, your health, your friendships, your victory and take you farther away from the Father.

WHEN GOD SAYS NO ~ Jane Colvin

In May of 2021 my husband, Jesse, was very sick and eventually was hospitalized. After many tears, much prayer and fasting, God’s will was for Jesse was to leave this world and enter Heaven on June 1, 2021. As the days went on after Jesse’s death I found myself getting angry with God because things did not go the way that I wanted.

L.E.M.O.N. - Amy Sapp

Have you ever bitten into a lemon expecting something sweet? The sour shock wakes up your taste buds! Lemons can be intense, but they are also refreshing, and full of nutrients.

Peace of God - Christy Collins

Recently, I was reminded of Philippians 4:8...again. It's not like I don't know what I'm supposed to think about and avoid thinking about, but here we are...again. I have a very active imagination and often find myself imagining in great detail negative scenarios that COULD become reality but have not.

Disappointed or Detemined - Kristi Caviness

Have you ever been disappointed when you volunteered for an event or production, and you imagined yourself playing a significant role, only to find out that you were assigned to help clean the toilets and take out the trash? It is so easy to build imaginations and expectations of how our lives will be, and the type of role we will play. Often, those thoughts include God using our lives in ways we view as important and valued by others in our circles.

"Don't Forget Jesus" - Ashley Carlisle

As we were traveling back from a Youth Conference in Tennessee, I looked out my window and saw a sign posted on a tree that said, “Don’t forget Jesus.” When I saw that sign, I thought to myself how many times do I forget about Jesus. Jeremiah 2:32 says, “Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?

Can You Imagine? - Wanda Cape

All around us is indecency, vulgarity, murder of innocent children, unrighteous living, etc. Jochebed must have faced some of the same issues that we are faced with. It is hard to imagine, but things will become even more corrupt before the Lord returns. Will we obey God, or man?

Rubbish to Riches - Jamie Blackwell

Now that I have 2 grown daughters and empty nest is on the horizon, I can look back at some mistakes made in building my home. I can see that sometimes there was too much rubbish in the way. Rubbish by getting angry over messes.
