POEM - Stepping Out

 


As I step out today, I remind myself

That I'm a child of the Most High God

The daughter of a King

An overcomer, more than a conqueror I am

Yes, I can do all things through Christ who gives me His strength

It is well, it is well, it is well.

I will pursue, I will overtake and I will recover

I will not be afraid, because He is with me

It is my time to fulfill purpose

So I go forth with boldness

I am stepping out!

Devotional - Guard Your Heart

Image
  Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Proverbs 4:23-27 The Message (MSG)         The heart, weighing between 7 and 15 ounces, is one of the smallest organs of the body, yet it has the biggest job. That’s quite a paradox, isn’t it? The heart is at the centre of the circulatory system, beating on average 72 times per minute to pump blood to the tissues of the body, supplying oxygen and other nutrients and removing carbon dioxide and other waste matter. The heart is vital to the efficient functioning of the body and must therefore be healthy in order to maintain and preserve overall health.    Achieving optimal heart health requires getting adequate rest and exercise, avoiding smoking an...

Motivational Thought - Perspective

  Wanting a change of scenery, I left my desk and sat at another desk across the room. I looked up and realized, to my surprise, that from this new vantage point, the office looked like a totally different place. I could not believe my eyes! Oh, what a change of seat can do! Life is like that. Our perspective determines the way we view the issues and circumstances of our lives. As the saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. Where I see a 6, you may see a 9.  Our exposure, or lack thereof, upbringing, environment, educational level, and socialization are but some of the factors that shape our perspective and which in turn, inform the way we see and experience life. As we grow and mature, our perspectives change and we view life differently. A change of attitude is often the catalyst that propels us to a new and different level. Indeed, our attitude determines our altitude.  Do you want to change your life? Change your attitude. Change your perspective.

Devotional - Extend Your Antennas

  My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. John 10:27 It was proving to be a mammoth task to get a clear signal from the gospel radio station. I was unable to attend the function in person so I tuned in, hoping to listen to the outside broadcast. I was facing a huge problem, however, the sound was not clear. there was too much static and I could not hear clearly. I turned the dial up and down, trying to find clear transmission but to no avail. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue a lightbulb moment came. Extend the antenna! Why hadn't I thought of that before?  Eagerly, I extended the antenna to maximum height and immediately there was a remarkable and pronounced difference. There was absolute clarity and I was able to listen and enjoy to my heart's content. This pronounced difference resulted from the fact that the radio antenna was functioning in the way that it was designed to function. Simply put, the antenna picks up electromagnetic waves that carry sou...

Think on These Things - Forgive and Settle Disputes Quickly

  On Friday, September 1, 2023, I lost a friend. A few months prior, we had a small disagreement and we were both upset with each other. We did not see eye to eye on a matter but eventually, good sense prevailed and we apologized to each other, worked it out, and put it behind us. Friendship restored. Prior to that incident, she had mentioned that she was having some health challenges. After not seeing or hearing from her for a while, I reached out to her but got no answer. I reached out to her daughter who informed me that she had been hospitalized. I reached out again and thankfully was able to contact her. I kept in touch and prayed for her. After several weeks in hospital, she messaged to say that she was home. As I got home from work that Friday afternoon, she crossed my mind and I made a mental note to visit her on Sunday. She was a Sabbath keeper, and as such, Friday evening and Saturday would not have been appropriate times to call or visit. But that was not to be. Shortly ...
