Look to the Birds

We are the Apple of His Eye

When Mother’s Day is Sad
But everyone has gone the wrong way. (Psalms 14:3) (ERV) (Love Ghost Stories? Go to Creepy Reflections) My heart is relieved with the knowledge that God can bring good from chaos.

They insinuate we not sit idly by as our day takes form, but rather to become co-creators of our day. Trust and rejoice, invites us…
Who’s Staring Back?
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Psalms 12:6 In ancient times silver was purified in a hot furnace. The metal was put into a clay container and heated to extreme temperatures. As the metal got hotter the impurities would float to the top,…
Tear Down Your Walls
For I will restore health to you, and I will heal your wounds, says the Lord, because they have called you an outcast… Jeremiah 30:17 “I used to put up walls to protect myself…However, I learned that if I wall others out, I also wall myself in. If you built walls around yourself out of…
