God’s Love
God’s love is better than life. I can’t say why, but, this phrase is resonating in my spirit. It’s not that I’m saying life on Earth is not worth living or giving up on for heaven. Not at all. I am not saying that. But, what I am saying is — God’s love is better than life. It is better than the best thing I’ve ever gotten here on Earth. It is better than my best day ever. It is better than the best feeling I’ve ever experienced. I believe this is why Paul desired the Ephesians understand God’s love more… “And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely]…

Shield of Strength

You’ll Get Through This Week 4 — Is God Good When Life Isn’t?

Something out of Nothing
When I look at things — if I see nothing I tend to think — it is nothing. And, will be, nothing … For instance, I am a little nervous. Come next September, I am supposed to be releasing my next book, “Rest Now: 7 Ways to Say No, Set Boundaries and Seize Joy (available for pre-order now).” Frankly, I don’t feel prepared. I have no strategies. I haven’t shared much lately on social media. I haven’t done the stuff expected of an author.
