Matters of the Heart

March 16, 2021 by admin 26 Comments

The Heart True confessions. I like reality tv shows. I watch The Bachelor – I turn off the raunchy scenes. But I find it so interesting that in this particular program, whether it is bachelor or bachelorette, a phrase is used over and over again… I just have to follow my heart. Really? Now, the… [Read More]

I'll Show You Again

  I’ll Show You Again! I want to be perfectly honest with you – I am not the most patient of people. It frustrates me when people don’t “get it.” But, with great wisdom, and a truckload of grace, I must understand that some will never “get it.” And, the stories from the gospels about… [Read More]

Teach Me To Number My Days

October 11, 2017 by admin 44 Comments

It’s that time of year I get pensive, inward, quiet, reflective, meditative, and a bit disgruntled… Years ago this was my favorite week of the year – my happy birthday week – but when the five’s became sixes I didn’t like it so much! My friend, the man I work for, and I were talking… [Read More]

taking the next thing to a whole new level

April 18, 2016 by admin 2 Comments

Years ago Elisabeth Elliot quoted a poem on her radio show that resonated with her listeners and changed the way women handled stresses in their day-to-day lives. The poem, “Do the Next Thing,” is penned by an unknown writer, yet the message has become universal. You can read the poem here. Ms. Elliot was no… [Read More]

Kate said permission. Wow! What a word. I think I Kate said permission.

Wow! What a word. I think I will go “there.” That proverbial place one doesn’t like to venture. THERE.
But, I have permission!

God or man?

Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the Name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4(NIV)

As a believer AND a follower of Christ – who grants me permission to do anything? With great discernment and faith, I trust my good, good Father to allow me or to withdraw me.

He Is My Guide

I will not listen to a government I do not trust. My peace comes from heavenly places and it gives me permission to say no to certain things. I follow man’s law regarding speed limits. I pay taxes. I don’t steal. But when it comes to my body?

The Temple of Holy Spirit?

I ask permission of Father. When He says yes or no I listen to His every word and reason.
Who gives you permission?
