  • Accepting God’s Gift of Grace

    I could not accept God’s grace for me because I had so much anger. I don’t like this world very much sometimes. There is so much bad news, and negativity. I had to stop watching the news because it made me extremely angry.

    I watched a bible study Sunday night, and the pastor talked about grace. I realized I have not been accepting God’s grace. I think because I didn’t think I deserved it. The pastor really emphasized accepting God grace. I asked God to help me accept His grace. It’s a gift none of us should turn down and He gives it to us freely.

    I had been asking God to replace my anger with His peace, but nothing ever happened, I was still angry. I had asked God to forgive me multiple times for my anger, but it seemed like as soon as I said, “forgive me” I would get angry again.

    Then last night I asked God to help me to be receptive to His grace and the gifts He wants to give me along with His love and peace. After that my anger disappeared. Watching that bible study was something I desperately needed, because it dawned on me the reason why I had no peace was because I didn’t feel worthy of it. I realize I am worthy of God’s grace because of what Jesus did on the cross. Jesus died on the cross so we can experience the grace of God. Open your heart to Him

  • Jesus Loves

    This is my favorite Zach Williams song. This song always has a positive effect on me every time I listen to it. I was a rebel before I came to know Jesus and I still have my moments.

  • My Jesus

    The first I saw this video I cried because it reminded me of my own brother’s death.

  • When I Think of You (A Poem)

                                                  Photo By Kathy Denison

    When I think of You
    I see a gentleness
    a peacefulness
    quiet kind of strength

    I see the King of kings
    a roaring lion
    Lord of all creation
    Blessing from above

    I see love in You
    whether Your eyes
    be Green or Blue
    it is love I see in you

    When I think of you
    I see myself as a child
    someone frail and small
    and You standing strong and tall.

  • The Baggage of Sin (a poem)

    Photo by William Warby on Pexels.com
    I don't deserve Him,
    with the sins I carry,
    When I feel hate and anger, 
    I hate the way I feel.
    It's a sin, and when I feel hate,
    to Jesus I must appeal,
    to be forgiven from the same old sins.
    Why can't I change?
    I ask myself over,
    and over again.
    Jesus said hate,
    is just like murder
    how will I ever make it, 
    to myself I wonder.
    So much hate, 
    such a senseless war.
    So many injustices
    in this cruel, cruel world.
    All the cruelty and insults,
    will they ever end?
    This isn't God's will,
    this isn't God's plan.



  • His Presence (a poem)

    He radiates power,
    And when His presence enters a room,
    worry is something you just can't do.
    His presence brings peace,
    His presence brings love,
    His presence is tranquility.
    I want to feel His presence again,
    it's better than seeing a long, lost friend.
    When I feel His presence,
    I just want to praise.
    He is power,
    He is love,
    He is peace.
    That is my God,
    That is my Savior,
    That is my Prince of Peace.




  • A Miracle Happened Today. My Friend Was Healed of Her Tumor.

    One of my Christian friends who lives in a different state had an MRI in August to see if she would be a candidate for back surgery. She has terrible pain in her back and chronic sciatica, along with fibromyalgia and arthritis. I feel so bad for her because she suffers so much.

    After the MRI, the doctor called her and said the MRI showed something. One of the ducts on her pancreas was enlarged so he told her he could not do surgery on her S1 Joint. She was upset. Then she saw her regular doctor who told her she needed to get a CAT scan and to make an appointment with a specialist right away.

    She went in for her CAT scan, and that showed multiple very small tumors on her liver and a 14centimeter tumor on the outer wall of her bladder. When she went in to see the specialist, he said the tumors on her liver were harmless, but he wanted to do surgery right away on her bladder and do a biopsy to test for cancer. She was scared it might be cancer.

    The Monday before her surgery on Wednesday I fasted but didn’t just have bread and water because I have health issues that affect my digestion. I fasted and prayed for her to be healed of her tumor. I had never done a serious fast for an answer to prayer. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be at first. I think the key to fasting with health issues is eating protein for each small meal if you have. I didn’t eat any meat or fish. I had a veggie burger for breakfast for my big meal, for lunch I had raw almonds and almond milk, then for supper I had pretzels and almond milk which was a big mistake. I think there might be 1 gram of protein in pretzels which isn’t enough to stay with you. By the end of the night, I was extremely tired and felt weak, so I went to bed early.

    I prayed the week before her surgery and Monday, Tuesday; and Wednesday the day of her surgery. I asked Jesus to heal my friend and make the tumor disappear.

    My friend didn’t tell many people about her tumor because she didn’t want to talk about it. She called her church a couple days before her surgery, and they put her on the prayer chain.

    Her surgery on Wednesday was at noon, and I knew they were going use some type of anesthesia for her outpatient surgery. I texted her about 4pm to ask if she was awake and if she was in a lot of pain and I didn’t hear anything back, so I assumed she was sleeping. Then around 5pm she called me and said she had texted me, but I never got the text. She told me the surgeon couldn’t find anything. The tumor had disappeared! It was a miracle!

    Prayer and fasting works!

  • The Love (a poem)

    Photo by FRANK MERIu00d1O on Pexels.com

    When I looked into your eyes, I saw a part of me

    and when I’ve felt you hold me you made me feel complete

    Why you love me I’ll never understand

    I am a sinful woman, but you made me strong so I could stand

    You shield me from the enemy and cause me no harm.

    You suffered, were beaten and whipped beyond description.

    You know what it’s like to be betrayed and despised

    You understand what we are going through

    that is why I treasure you, like a prize.

  • Prince of Peace & King (a poem)

    God is Prince of Peace & King

    How many princes and princesses

    No one here can tell

    His power is immeasurable

    He rules above it all

    You will be crowned by Him & given a robe

    Invited to a wedding feast

    Served by the King of all

    Choice wines and choice meats

    Can you imagine it at all?

    He wants you to be there

    You make your choice here

    Please believe

    in His death and resurrection

    He loves you

    and He is always near

  • Beloved (A Poem)

    He calls you beloved

    He calls you mine

    He calls you daughter

    He calls you wife

    When the creator of the universe

    looks at you

    He sees something precious

    Someone made brand new

    He loves your eyes

    He loves how you care

    He loves your uniqueness

    He calls you beautiful and fair

    Believe me when I say

    What you mean to him

    You are the apple of His eye

    You mean the world to Him.
