  • The Peace of Christ

    Colossians 3:15

    And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

  • God has shown HIMself again!

    God has shown himself in our lives multiple times these past few weeks. Dealing with some legal issues for a family member and we really prayed the right people would step-up to law enforcement and not just speak to us off the record…then they didn’t…so we felt sad but never worried because we prayed God would direct everything according to HIS will.

    Right before the day in court we didn’t need those people to come forward anyway because the person admitted their own guilt prior to court and that was the most powerful admission we could get.

    Praise God because God is Good and HE showed up and everything went according to HIS will not ours. It all turned out better than we could have expected.

  • I Want A Good Life!

    Like all people, I want a good life—loving relationships, rewarding work, and abiding peace. Yet these blessings may elude me until I awaken to my inherent worth.

    I am created in the image and likeness of God. My worth does not depend on my behaviors. I am intrinsically worthy because I am a living, loving, divine creation.

    When doubts arise, I remember the truth of my being. The good I seek is right where I am. The love I desire is the love of God already present. The work I long to do is Spirit’s calling within me. As I stand in my own sacred worth, I feel the blessings of God infill me. I am worthy of my good. I expect the best, and I am ready to receive!

    Now, my daughter, do not be afraid, I will do for you all that you ask, for all the assembly of my people know that you are a worthy woman.—Ruth 3:11

    Psalm 23
    King James Version

    23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

    2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

    3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

    4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

    5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

    6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
