For Those Times When I Look in the Mirror and Don’t Like What I See

March 5, 2019 by Kristi 4 Comments

Don't like what you see when you look in the mirror? Do you need something tangible to combat those times when you look in the mirror and don't like what you see? "Visuals" like me will understand. When we look in the mirror, we see limp hair that never looks good, eyes too large, a crooked nose, ringlets of skin under that chin, thighs a titch too wide for the liking--or SOMETHING not right with our reflection. Call it crazy, but we Continue Reading

Tuck This One In Your Heart

Go ahead--tuck this verse in your heart. Keep it near, assuring every ounce of "you" of God's interweaving. Sometimes, as a strong-willed gal, I make plans to go here and there and look to the future. But sometimes I get so busy that I forget God. I run ahead, failing to remember where I came from.

I'm convinced the enemy of our soul desires to keep our identity twisted and shaken. Why? Because that keeps us captive and controlled Continue Reading

A New Year, A New You + Free Gift

January 1, 2019 by Kristi 4 Comments

It's a new year. Many of us have vision of a "new you" as well. With God, call it possible. After all, Jesus came to earth, bringing heavenly possibilities with Him. "For with God nothing shall be impossible."(Luke 1:37 KJV) Recently, I read about Joshua. Like a bold reg flag waving and whipping in the wind, the Israelites' march around Jericho gathered my attention. Here's why: The Lord spoke His promise. Joshua ran with that Continue Reading
