Baggage Claim or Benefit Collection?

Joy

It's Time to FLY
It’s Day 28. We have three more days left on our 31-day flight!  Yes friends, I’m thinking about landing too. When I pickup family and friends from the airport, we often meet in baggage claim. Sometimes they insist on curbside pickup, but I prefer meeting inside. I like to chat...

His Imprint Makes The Best Impression

It's Time to FLY
More than any other bird, the eagle symbolizes deliverance and redemption in scripture. Although they have a wing span averaging six to seven feet, these magnificent birds must learn how to fly.*  It does not come naturally. Isaiah 40:31 has special instructions for those who trust in the Lord.  We...

A Look That Lifts

Affirmation,  It's Time to FLY
Is there a conflict or desire you’re reluctant to release to the Lord? I want to trust Him with all my heart instead of leaning to my understanding, but Mt. Trust is not an easy climb. The ascent is hindered by strong winds of doubt. The temperature dips when faith...

My husband ran his first marathon years ago. A week before the event, Brady had no plans of being in the race. He was on active duty in the U. S. Marine Corps away on a training exercise. However, he called me two days before the Marine Corps marathon and announced...

Did Someone Cancel Your Flight?

It's Time to FLY
It was a scandalous scene. The first man and the first woman committed the first sin. God was asking questions and Adam scrambled for an answer. Let’s tune into Genesis 3* and listen in. God (calling to Adam): 9 Where are you? Adam: 10 When I heard the sound of You coming...

Standing on Philippians 4:13!

Affirmation,  It's Time to FLY
I’m praying you’ll experience Christ as your strength today. As we meditate on (and memorize) Philippians 4:13 NLT, may we fear not because no one is greater than Him, lean hard because nothing is stronger than His love and yield completely as we trust Him as Lord of all. Have a great...

Fear Doesn’t Fight Fair

It's Time to FLY,  Life Letter Cafe
Boo!  Don’t worry, I’m not trying to scare you. This is just to illustrate how fear loves to catch us off guard. Practical jokers use this one syllable weapon to startle their unsuspecting victims. The element of shock is needed because fear doesn’t fight fair. It plays on our vulnerabilities. It relishes...

The Sum of All Fears = ?

Joy

It's Time to FLY
“What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true.” – Job This quote sums up a sad story. By Job 3:25, all of his children were dead. Boils covered his body. His wife degraded his faith. And his friends weren’t talking to him. In short, Job’s...

When I shop, boho jewelry and anything denim have When I shop, boho jewelry and anything denim have a magnetic pull on my purse strings. But about a year ago, something different drew me in. A mug with its soft edges and soft ecru color featured 3 words. Pray. Wait. Trust.

As it pulled on my heart strings, the magnet worked. I quickly placed the mug in my cart and made my way to the cashier. I looked forward to drinking from the cup and considering each word — one sip at a time. But a closer look took me beyond my cup. These 3 words made me reflect on the life of Christ.

Reflections of His life and how it impacts ours is often the focus during this Lenten season. But we can reap the benefits of reflecting on Jesus any day of the year. 

Join me on the blog this week and discover what can happen: "Growing Our Faith One Sip at a Time" (an invitation from me and my mug). 💕

When we lean into God's calling, we still have to When we lean into God's calling, we still have to learn His way to live in the privilege of what He calls us to do. 

It's great when we connect with people who seek to do the same. It happened at the "God's Call, God's Way Prayer Breakfast" yesterday!

I'm grateful for an awesome time of prayer, fellowship, and reflection. We were tremendously blessed by  praise and worship led by @deborahmooremusic.

Thanks so much to those who attended and for those who prayed for our gathering!🙏🏽💕 #joytothesoul #liveyourjoystory
