It’s Time to Stop Procrastinating
Procrastination meant the Israelites missed out on what God wanted them to enjoy in the Promised Land. We miss out, too, unless we stop procrastinating.

We all have stories about when plans change due to circumstances beyond our control. Everyone responds differently. We can either resist or we can rest.
Life’s caves become classrooms where we learn deep spiritual truths. Let’s view them as places to experience God in rich, unique ways.
Thanks for sharing my excitement in launching my new brand, “Inspiring hope, courage, and transformation through God’s Word–with a dash of adventure.”
I’d rather do without difficulties. But reality is–that’s not going to happen. Difficulties are a part of life, so we’d best learn to deal with them well.
We all face unknowns. Some of them are small and insignificant. Others matter a great deal. But don’t be discouraged. God is on our side.
God never leaves us floundering when trials come our way. He comes alongside and lends us His almighty hand. That’s what the word “helps” means in Romans 8:26
When we find ourselves in a difficult place, let’s neither fear nor lose hope. If God leads us to an impossible situation, then we are where He wants us to be.
When God tells us to trust Him, He means fully trust. We refrain from picking and choosing the concerns we feel are okay to give Him while clinging to others.
Each January, I prayerfully ask God for the word He knows will inspire personal growth and help me persevere through year. Here is this year’s word.
Happy New Year! Like me, do you feel as though the year whizzed by? As the year draws to a close, I’m reflecting on the many things for which I’m grateful.
We give Jesus our load of concerns, and He gives us a gift more precious than gold–that’s how Jesus wants to work this gift exchange.
If you’re finding it hard to be happy at Christmas, know you’re not alone. Also know that your Everlasting Father invites you to nestle close to His heart.
That’s our Jesus! He’s our out-of-the-ordinary, beyond human explanation king who counsels us and leads us because He truly cares about us.
Yielding our desire for control and surrendering every detail of our life, both small and large, to the LORD frees us to rest in His care and purposes.
I rarely step into a hot shower without whispering, “Thank You.” That said, I know I fail to express my gratitude to God as often as I might.
Someday we’ll know more fully than we know now. We’ll know more about God’s character and more about why He allowed certain circumstances into our lives.
The question, “How do we keep our focus on Jesus?” has no one-size-fits-all answer because every person’s situation is different.
Entertaining worrisome and fear-filled thoughts in the night makes it impossible o wake with an attitude of hope and anticipation.
Considering all that’s happening in the world, I can’t help but wonder about the future for my grandbabies. Perhaps you wonder the same for those you love.
Concerns kept coming to my mind. I wasn’t aware I’d picked up worry-weight til t began falling away. With every exhale, I felt lighter and freer.
The end result of anxious thoughts allowed to run wild is – stinkin’ thinkin.’ It shapes our beliefs, influences our behavior, and determines our destiny.
Jesus is the Vine and the branches are those who believe in Him for salvation. The stronger and healthier the connection, the more spiritual fruit.
Just ask the foot racer who lost the lead when he turned his head to check on the runners behind him. A split-second backward glance cost him the lead.
It seems I may overuse the word “awesome.” I didn’t realize how much until my three-year-old granddaughter began echoing me. Maybe the same is true for you.
A friend found herself in unfamiliar territory when her husband died suddenly. Her husband had managed their finances. Now that responsibility fell on her.
When we feel discouraged, we would do well to pause, take a deep breath, and ask ourselves the question: “Why are you crying?”
We find hope when we place our confidence in our unchanging God. Choosing to trust His wisdom, sovereignty, power, and goodness soothes the soul.
Several years ago, I discovered the cure for anxious thoughts after a wrong assumption created tension in a relationship I considered precious.
Perhaps in our longing for healing, God is beckoning us to exercise our faith, to come to him and touch the hem of his garment.
He provides everything needed to satisfy our soul’s deepest longings, but we can only experience His goodness and grace by listening carefully.
David’s circumstances gave him no time to stop, catch his breath, and prepare for the next onslaught. The attacks just kept coming.
On a trip to Kathmandu, a friend and I encountered splashes of beauty amidst the mess as we walked down a narrow dirt lane in a residential neighborhood.
In many cases, stuff happens because that’s the nature of things. But sometimes the devil is to blame, and I blame him for my recent misadventures.
I’m practicing perseverance on my wellness journey this summer despite the challenges, and I trust I’ll reap a harvest of restored wellness in due time.
My three-year-old granddaughter was helping me tape boxes when she said, “This is a cross. It’s like Jesus. He died on the cross.” She noticed, but I did not.
