March 19, 2012 I was talking to the Lord about stuff going on in my life. I had just written out my devotions from the book of Amos, chapters 1-2. I was thinking about how Amos was just a shepherd when God called him to be a prophet and to give out his messages. I … Continue reading No Less

Never Will I Leave You
On May 11, 2011, I had this horrible headache (from an incoming or outgoing storm) all afternoon. I was sitting on the sofa crying and praying for Jesus (in His name) to heal me. Then He put this song, "Never Will I Leave You," into my heart to write as His message to me to … Continue reading Never Will I Leave You
Nails Were Pounded
On June 4, 2011, one of my granddaughters was at our house, and she was about to get her fingernails painted. While this was happening, my husband was watching the neighbors across the street from us get a new roof put on their house, and so there were lots of nails being discussed. Granddaughter Lizzie … Continue reading Nails Were Pounded

This is the mark of a true disciple of Jesus Christ. … Continue reading My Sheep

We now have the Spirit of God within us leading, guiding, counseling, helping and directing us in the ways of the Lord and … Continue reading My Prayer
My Heart’s Desire
Paul said his heart’s desire, and his prayer to God for the Israelites (his own people), was that they may be saved. I concur with him, in that is my desire, as well, for my family members, friends, neighbors and the people of this world to come to know Christ Jesus as Lord and as … Continue reading My Heart’s Desire
My Cry for Mercy
There are times in all of our lives when we feel particularly vulnerable, weak, tired, sad, confused, and, perhaps, hurt and rejected and/or all alone. It is especially during these times when we need to call upon our Lord to save us from ourselves, and to give to us his encouragement, counsel, direction, strength and … Continue reading My Cry for Mercy
