His Way Is Higher

When you don’t understand or are waiting for answers, trust Him. He will place people in your life, He will present opportunities, and He will put you in places to lift up His name. Trust Him. Plain and simple! Pray for vision (lol it may come at 2am) it will come! Always remember ~ His ways are higher than ours.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:8-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Daily Prayer: Lord I thank You for each day. Continue to give me fresh vision each day to see that YOUR ways are HIGHER than mine. I trust YOUR plan. Amen 🙏

If you have not accepted Jesus into your life, today is a good day to do so. Pray this simple prayer: Lord please forgive me. I ask You to live in my heart and in my life. Help me each day to grow and serve You. Amen 🙏

Have a blessed day and as always choose to bless someone else today.

It is Well With My Soul

It Is Well With My Soul: I love this old hymn. I find peace and assurance that He is with me always. No matter what comes your way, you can have a blessed promise that because He abides in your life and heart, it truly is well with your soul.

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Daily Prayer: Lord I need Your direction and guidance in all I do each day. I trust in You to lead me to the perfect plan for my life. I will follow You. I will trust and believe in faith that it is well with my soul. Amen. 🙏

If you have not accepted Jesus into your life, today is a good day to do so. Pray this simple prayer: Lord please forgive me. I ask You to live in my heart and in my life. Help me each day to grow and serve You. Amen 🙏

Have a blessed day and as always choose to bless someone else today.

Temporary Seasons

Just as seasons of the year are temporary, life storms are not your “ forever” destiny. Circumstances are often temporary; we just can’t see the change. The season will pass and one day you will be at your breakthrough, your deliverance, your victory! Remember that God has a plan for your life. He is already there making a way for you right now! Trust Him! Your season is about to change!


“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
‭‭- Galatians‬ ‭6:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬


Daily Prayer: Lord I thank You for each day.  I thank You for each season in my life. I know that You have a plan and purpose for my life and You are already there making a way possible. Amen 🙏


If you have not accepted Jesus into your life, today is a good day to do so. Pray this simple prayer: Lord please forgive me. I ask You to live in my heart and in my life. Help me each day to grow and serve You. Amen 🙏


Have a blessed day and as always choose to bless someone else today.

Facing Your Giants

We all have times in life where we face “giants”. Our problems or situations seem huge. It seems like there are no answers or maybe even no hope. It looms over you day after day and may even feel like you are sinking. How do you facing your “giants” each day?  

Remember Little David? He faced Goliath with courage & boldness. He didn’t choose to sit on the sideline while someone else battled Goliath. He didn’t fear. He went to battle knowing The Lord was with him. Victory would reign. He didn’t doubt. He faced the giant and he was victorious!
Whatever “giant” you are facing today, God is with you! You can have Victory in Him. Don’t sit and do nothing. Start praying. Read His Word. Get into His presence. Release your fears. Let God take control and lead you. You are an Overcomer!

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬


Daily Prayer: Lord I thank You for each day. I thank You for being there to help guide me to overcome every circumstance and every situation that has become a “giant” in my life.  I am an Overcomer through You. I have Victory in You. Amen 🙏


If you have not accepted Jesus into your life, today is a good day to do so. Pray this simple prayer: Lord please forgive me. I ask You to live in my heart and in my life. Help me each day to grow and serve You. Amen 🙏
Have a blessed day and as always choose to bless someone else today.

Focus On Your Blessings

Focus on Your Blessings ~ The last few days I have often read that many are very relieved 2019 is over and ready to move into 2020. We are unique and each one of us had our own trials last year, some more than others.


Today, I chose to focus on my blessings in 2019. Did I have heartache and hurts? Absolutely. Were there days I was broken and lost? Yes! But God is faithful. He gave me strength to get through ALL my life storms.


I looked at what He blessed me with in 2019. I journaled a long time this morning as I reflected on 2019. Some blessings were so small yet I see the significance today. Some blessings I didn’t see right away, but showed up when I needed them the most. Some blessings I may have taken for granted, and God gently reminded me to be thankful for all things.


So, to move forward in 2020, I wanted to take time to really thank Him and praise Him for 2019. Take a few moments today to reflect and thank Him for 2019. Ask Him to lead you into 2020.


“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬


Daily Prayer~ Lord I thank You for each day. Thank You for every blessing You have given to me and all those that You have in store for me. Thank You for giving me strength to face my life storms. Help me to move forward in You in 2020. Always giving You thanks and praise in all things. Amen 🙏
If you have not accepted Jesus into your life, today is a good day to do so. Pray this simple prayer: Lord please forgive me. I ask You to live in my heart and in my life. Help me each day to grow and serve You. Amen 🙏
