Knees to The Earth

When I was born again it was the most amazing moment in my life. Here I was this broken, broken, broken woman. I had been betrayed, lied to, and when I learned the truth it was heart-breaking. I had no idea how I was going to make it not one day from the next but one second to the next. To be quite honest falling to my knees that day was not an impulse. I had no other choice, it was either go to my knees or fall into a dark pit with no way out. I was in this small office in my home, and when my knees hit the hard-wood floors the pain was not only mentally but physically. Still I remained, I remained on my knees, in pain physically and emotionally. I did not cry out I SCREAMED, I screamed out to “JESUS” I begged, I pleaded. If you were standing outside that office you would have seen the most pitiful human being in need of a Savior and that was exactly what I needed. I do not need any more weight of judgment from the world. I needed grace, I needed mercy. I knew there had to be a be...

Sacrifices

Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23 Since I have been born again I have learned so much about not only myself but others around me. No one in this world wants to be alone, we all want to love and be loved.

But when that part within us has caused so much grief to ourselves and those around us we must understand if we want to change for the better that part has to go. I have literally witnessed people hang on to that old self in fear if they gave it up they would go crazy. When I say literally I mean li...

Above Not Below

True Christians that follow the signs of the times know that we are in perilous times. The world is changing and it is changing fast. One of the things that is taking control is technology it can be a blessing but it is also a curse. Technology is not bad, people are. It can be used for good or it can be used for evil. A few years ago I was headed to an appointment I noticed the flags in our community entrance was at half-staff. I thought they really need to raise those Nancy Reagan's death was a few weeks back. Then I thought, Brussels, it is almost as if our flags are constantly lowered still to this day. Every week it seems they are down it is hard to keep up with the reasons as to why. If you turn to any news channel you will find out the reasons. I thought in that moment as I drove by, God what if we went to our knees as fast and as often as we lowered our flags. I know it will not change the future we all know from the book of Revelation this world is in serious t...
