What Did You Say?




"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
             -  Proverbs 18:21 KJV

Dear Friends,

Words have great power. They can be used to heal and empower. They can be used to tear down and destroy. Words have given birth to great innovative ideas. Words have been used to foster and promote false ideologies. Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

James chapter one tells us to be slow to speak, swift to hear, slow to wrath. Within the body of Christ let us strive to become better stewards of our words. 

"....let your yea be yea and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation." - James 5:12 cf

God bless!

In Christ,

Happy birthday to my lovely daughter Dayna.  Thank you Dayna for being a young woman who understands the power of words. Continue to use your gift of encouragement and kindness to bless the lives of others. I thank God for starting my journey "of motherhood" with the gift of your presence in my life. Love always.

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
