5 Reasons Not to Fear
I found this verse in an e-mail right when I was wondering why I am so fearful about the future. I have a fear of one day being alone and blind. Many people have similar fears, wondering what will happen to them or their children. God tells us not to fear, and there are several reasons why.
It’s Time to Step Out of the Boat
Can you believe I still fight fear after all these years? We can't seem to get away from it. Last week, I had the privilege to write a blog post for...
Are We Content?
What is contentment? We don’t talk about it much. It’s not the exuberant joy we feel when we possess everything our hearts desire. Contentment is acquired through lack, not abundance.
Paul said that he learned to be content in whatever state he was in. He continued by saying:
When Should We Pray to Jehovah Tsaba?
Are you weary from the continuous battle? The darkness of depression? The heartache of a broken relationship? The weakness from fighting cancer? The daily grind of your job? The emptiness of your home? The never-ending pain or the lingering illness? If you can answer “Yes” to any of those questions, you need to pray to Jehovah Tsaba.
God has many names throughout Scripture, and I must admit Jehovah Tsaba isn’t one I use in prayer, but that’s changing. I need Him to fight my battles. It means “Lord of hosts.” God is Lord over an army of angels who are mighty warriors. They stand ready for battle.

I understood her heartache. Over the last two years, I’ve shook my head as preachers criticize people for not being in church.

My Word for 2021
Wow! Connect seems like an unlikely word in the middle of a growing pandemic, but it is the word I believe God has given me for 2021.
Last year’s word was odd too: destiny. I doubt anyone felt 2020 was their year for destiny, but I think I have arrived at my spot for destiny. God has me right where He wants me for such a time as this. Ready to march into 2021 and make connections.
Erasing the Past

Can We Have a Fire-Proof Faith?
A small-town girl must travel alone to a big city to train with her new guide dog. The girl) woman) is me, and the only time I have flown was with my husband. Now, I have a connecting flight in a major airport before reaching my final destination at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Sounds pretty daunting. My shield of faith will be guarding me 24/7 from the enemy’s fiery darts. arrows of fearful thoughts and flames of “what-if” are already targeting me.
