Did you know that LEAPING is a biblical activity? It’s amazing the challenges that you and I are able to LEAP over by the grace and help of God. He gives us the power and strength to do what we cannot do on our own. With God’s help, you can climb over those steep mountains. You can traipse through those huge obstacles. You can pass over the solid, brick walls in front of you. With God’s help, you can! David said in Psalm 18:29 (kjv), “For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.” The definition for LEAP is “to jump…

Is God “My Everything”?
I read a quote this morning that stirred my heart… and sparked a fire in my soul… “If Christ is not ALL to you, He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something, He must be everything, and if He be not everything, He is nothing to you.” – Charles Spurgeon I had to ask myself some questions… “Am I ALL in?” “Have I totally surrendered EVERYTHING to God? “If I had NOTHING left…like Job, would God be enough?” “What THINGS might I be clinging to that is hindering me from letting God be my EVERYTHING, my ALL…

Didn’t you feel the tension dissipate? What you are experiencing is a release of stress that may have been weighing you down for days. The old adage, “Laughter is the best medicine” is so true. Proverbs 17:22 kjv says… A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Why is laughter your secret weapon to beating stress? You may be surprised to discover that laughter is equivalent to fifteen minutes…

Are You a Couch Potato Christian?
I’ve heard it said that many people in our churches are mere “pew warmers.” In other words, they do believe in the importance of being present in the House of God when the doors are open, but they will rarely be seen taking an active role in areas of service, such as helping in a Sunday School class, the bus route, the nursery, the choir, junior church, the kitchen, etc. BUT… did you know that sometimes we Christians can still be couch potatoes spiritually even though we may already be busy at church? It’s great that we’re praying for God to direct our path and lead us, yet we may…

Be Sticky Like Duct Tape
*Originally posted: February 3, 2016 / Updated December 18, 2018 When my hubby was in Bible college, we lived in a little apartment. It was far from a fancy place, but it was our HOME. While living there, God blessed us with three baby boys. (One at a time, of course. 😉 ) Needless to say, finances were tight with little ones in diapers and a college bill to pay. This is where I fell madly in love with Duct Tape. That stuff was (and still is) my favorite “go-to” tool for fixing EVERYTHING. My hubby was off to college classes, work or the bus route most of the time…but…
