What Is a Prophet to Do?

Your tiny ship can be tossed but remember there is always light. How one experience changed my life for the better even though the dark storm looked like it could take me out. Storms change you for the better if you look at the silver lining, Jesus rather than the storm. Sometimes it takes time... #perseverance #christianauthor #prophetic #storms #silverlining #darlenegaston

Grace Is – Be Like the Moon

Grace is God's portion.  The beautiful place he calls each of us to live in.  We are like the moon shining from the sun's light not our own will trying to produce the light. #graceis #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #christianauthor #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus

Grace Is – Living in the New Covenant – Part 2

Have you ever felt like you were being led to a conclusion on a topic?  I am thankful for my memories of a teacher, Ms. Cowan, who made sure we tackled subjects from all sides.  She wanted us to be critical thinkers not just re-writing what we have been taught...  #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus #bothfeetin

Grace Is – Living in the New Covenant

The fearful word grace is what started things eight years ago. Grace.  Beautiful, wonderful, full of love--grace.  For some reason grace, within the church (many times), is put on a leash or in a box.  I think I prefer the box analogy...because we don't want to put God in a box, do we? #grace #graceis #thisisme #newcovenant #christianity #christianauthor #whoyouare #whoGodis #slipperyslope #grace #godsportion #simpleliving #timetoreallylivefree #thedoorisopen #freedom #wideopenspaces #jesuslovesme #jesuslovesyou #allofGod #faith #love #Jesus
