Opinions
A wise man once told me that I don’t have to have an opinion on everything. The funniest thing about the fact that he said this to me was I have never heard it before, No one I know has
Ore Processing: Our Processing
Much like processing ore to silver God processes us from sinful to righteous. In the beginning stage we are rough, dirty and at first glance not very valuable. However, God sees the truth of what can happen when He does some processing. During this stage of processing, we are cleaned off some just like the ore when removed from the earth. After we accept Christ the dirt’s removed, and processing can
Promises
Father often shares certain pain with us. I’m very sensitive and easily pick up on the hurt of others. I for some reason want to understand maybe too much Father’s feelings. Somewhere along the line I’m sure I wanted to know what Father felt about something and He began to show me His pain. I can
Discernment
If you were in a cage and the person across from you were in a cage and they began to tell you how to be free would you listen to them? In most cases no you’re not going to listen. Why? Because they are in the same position you are in. If what you are telling me is true, why are you caged? This is the natural thought process for many of us. But what if their being caged was only
We're Not Right Just Because We're Grown
One of the things I love most about my children is that they are quick to see correction as truth.

The Cost of Being Cheap
I wonder how many times we have missed something great God is trying to do for us because we’re cheap. Were too cheap to enjoy life and were too cheap to accept gifts from others if it cost too much. Today I took someone out to eat they knew I was paying
Unwise Choices 3
In parts one and two of this conversation we looked at our responsibilities to uphold truth and hold ourselves accountable. We learned that in our own ignorance we can make choices that create pain, hurt and lasting emotional damage. Here we will have a look at
Unwise Choices Continued
In the power of our choices and the responsibilities we bear from them we discussed three girls and the decisions they made. We will now look at how the decisions made can hurt others and gain a better understanding of love and accountability to those affected by our choices.
Unwise Choices
I just read a Facebook post that left me wondering why we don’t each mature at a certain age rather than from personal experiences and development through accountability for our choices. The words I read to me came from a broken place that needs the healing power of God. I’m writing this blog in four parts and in each part, we will look at the power of free will. Free will is nothing more than a person’s ability to
