Ruth - Part One

The story begins with a bad decision A certain man of Bethlehem, Elimilech, his wife Naomi, and their two sons Mahlon and Chilion left Bethlehem, “the house of bread,” and moved to Moab because of a severe famine. God did NOT tell Elimilech to go – he got scared and went. While in Moab, his… [Read More]

exile

July 20, 2016 by admin 28 Comments

Can we talk? As I read through the Bible, chronologically, I have come to the pre-exile text. Y’all, it isn’t pretty. Rebellion Idol Worship Human Sacrifice Adultery Persecution People pollution Disruption of order Covenant violation Chaotic cities Riots in the streets Does this have a twinge of familiarity? God is giving His final decree to the world… [Read More]

red – the color of hope!

May 4, 2016 by admin 42 Comments

Why HOPE ? Because Hope Changes Everything! Most of you know my story of HOPE – how God dropped that word, that principle, His very own characteristic, deep within my soul in the year of 2002. If you aren’t familiar, read about it here. HOPE is as real as the air I breathe and today,… [Read More]

the heartbreak of God

December 16, 2015 by admin 40 Comments

As you know I get all kinds of excited when Holy Spirit reveals thoughts and truths to me. Such a moment came Sonday morning in worship. We have to go way back to the beginning…as in Genesis. The Word is clear that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit were present… [Read More]

  Here we are again, Friday. But, it’s not just any Friday – it is GOOD Friday. Kate Motaung chose just the right word prompt today for the writing challenge called Five Minute Friday: GOOD Let’s begin. I remember as a little girl wondering why “Good” Friday was good.

sealing the deal

May 7, 2014 by admin 20 Comments

I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I saw a different take on a quote I’ve heard for years. In the past I’ve heard it quoted as a “God-shaped hole” but the word vacuum conjured up a whole new mental picture for this over-active imagination of mine! I am thinking out loud on my… [Read More]

Kate said fix Today, I come to confess. Dun Dun D Kate said fix

Today, I come to confess.
Dun Dun Dun Dun…

I used to be a FIXER.

Family problems? Not to worry I will manage, manipulate, and fix it. The only problem? It gets expensive and very stressful.

Fixing is bad for your health.

I have learned

There is a Fixer better than myself. This Fixer can and will FIX anything and anyone IF you ask.
If you release.
If you give it up.
If you lay the object of fix on the altar of sacrifice.

Sometimes…

There is an immediate fix. Sometimes The Fixer will ask you to sit still and do nothing. Sometimes The Fixer will use you in the fix.
But THIS I know…

The Fixer really doesn’t need any help from me.

So, What Does One Do?

We pray and our prayers keep The Fixer involved, on the scene, and in the situation.

The Fixer

Do you know Him?

But may the God of all grace [THE FIXER], who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5.10-11

Who or what are YOU trying to fix? Give them/it to The Fixer!
