The Growth Process Part 3 of 3

The Growth Process Part 3 of 3

James 1:2 and 3 explains this type of growth process. It says “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” My husband once asked me “What is the key to opening hope’s door?”. My answer was faith. Although a good answer, he [...]

The Growth Process Part 2 of 3

We can see these types of lessons learned throughout the children of Israel’s journey to the promised land. I believe the entire journey eventually became one big belt. Because of their attitudes, they spent 40 years making an 11 day trip. Along the way however, they experienced things like plagues wiping out a number of [...]

The Growth Process Part 1 of 3

I can remember as a young girl having to learn lessons through the belt…it hurt. However, these lessons never left me. Sometimes as Christians, we experience learning lessons in a similar fashion. God doesn’t lower a natural belt from the sky and swat us with it. But I do believe He lowers a spiritual belt [...]

Going All The Way Part 2 of 2

Could we really go where ever God sends us? This is the question that inspired this post. I really had to have a meeting with myself and ask if I could really go and do whatever God said…no matter what. I invite you to do the same. I pray that this short biography of Joan [...]

Going All The Way Part 1 of 2

Upon being asked “How far would you go to obey the Lord?”, one might answer, “As far as He says to go”. This may very well be the truth. However, have you ever stopped to think about what going as far as God says really means? God may ask us to do something that snatches [...]

The Virtuous Woman Part 3 of 3

“The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain” (Prov. 31:11). Scripture frequently speaks of putting our trust solely in God (see Ps. 6:28), but here we are told that a man who has found a godly wife can also trust his heart to her. Safely trust means “to [...]

The Virtuous Woman Part 2 of 3

She is a “warrior woman”! She is an intercessor, a woman of might and power uniquely designed by God to birth His will and purposes on the earth, particularly concerning, but not limited to, her family. The virtuous woman is busy with her hands, two kinds of which are mentioned in these verses. Both can [...]

The Virtuous Woman Part 1 of 3

Recently, God placed it on my heart to really study on the virtuous woman. The woman described in Proverbs 31:10 – 31 has always been intimidating to me. In the past, I’ve looked at this woman and compared myself to her. Only to become discouraged in how much I don’t measure up. But, God has been showing [...]

Encouraged Not Discouraged Part 1 of 2

Reading God’s word can not only be uplifting, comforting and inspiring, it can be revealing and convicting as well. When God shows us an area in our lives that doesn’t line up with His word, it can sometimes make us feel bad about ourselves. However, when God shows us an area that needs work, or corrects us, He [...]

Speaking Up Part 2 of 2

Speaking Up Part 2 of 2

One reason that we often don’t speak up for things is because we want to be meek and humble. I once heard someone say that “Meekness is having strength under control”. When you are meek, you don’t walk around with your head down and allow everyone to walk all over you, yet you don’t go [...]
