Dear Friends, The Lord will be with us in all seasons.  In our childhood and our youth. He is with us throughout the young adult years and middle age. And when winter comes, the years of gray and white, the same God abides faithful and produces fruit in the lives of Christians that add value in His kingdom.  Never too young...never too old to let your light shine. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Dear Friends, The time is coming...in many instances that time is hear when people do not want to hear God's Word.  They would prefer that the Word of God be diluted and taught and preached in a way that conforms to their liking.  It does not work that way. It should not work that way. I offer encouragement today particularly to teachers. Teachers in Sunday School and Bible Studies -- Hold fast to the Word of God.  Isaiah 55:10-11   King James Version (KJV) 10  For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Dear Friends, "As good as God has been to me I can't afford not to give Him praise."  Today on the blog I am going to share a short story that I wrote some time ago. I am releasing it today because today is a day of new beginnings.  The name of the story is Chapter One.  With God there is always room for new beginnings. Although the story is fiction. It is biographical fiction. It makes my soul look back in wonder how I got over. I know the answer: It was by the grace of God!                                   Chapter One – The Other House                                    - by Stephanie D. K. Tyus @2016 My grandmother had a way of keeping up with time at her house. You always knew what to expect depending on whether it was the first, second, third or fourth Monday, Tuesday, Wedne...

Psalm 42:7-8   King James Version (KJV) 7  Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 8  Yet the  Lord  will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. Dear Friends, There are songs in my soul that God has planted there through the years some old, some new. Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs teaching and admonishing me.  Songs in my soul resonate and give me comfort, bring me joy, renew my strength. Dear Lord,  Thank you for the songs you have placed in my soul. Please hears my songs of prayer: Great Is Thy Faithfulness Have Thine Own Way Lord Lead Me Guide Me Guide Me O Thy Great Jehovah Give Me a Clean Heart Shine On Me Father I Stretch My Hand to Thee Lord I'm Available to You I Want to Be A Follower of Christ Through It All I've Learned How to Lean and Depend on Jesus I Want to...

Dear Friends, God fills our lives with good things.  Take the time to enjoy the goodness of God. The sounds of the days, children laughing, birds chirping, music playing...good things. Live in the moment. Look up at the sky. Look around at the trees. God fills our lives with good things.  Pause and look in the mirror. Look at you...fearfully and wonderfully made. God said so.   Filled to the utmost. Good things! God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Dear Friends, God keeps His promises. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
