I’m reading, “Living a Divinely Inspired Life,” on YouVersion as a devotional these days. Today’s devotion is entitled, Discover your Spiritual Gifts. I grew up in a church tradition that focused a lot on Spiritual Gifts. It seems to me there is less of a focus on this in the churches I have been a [...]

Can you see what God is doing?
Posted: May 24, 2009 in Calling, Confidence, Faith, Fear, Focus, Grace, Holy Spirit, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Growth, Trusting God, VisionHave you ever ridden the log ride at Six Flags or at some other park? Lately my life has seemed much like I am riding a log ride (just not as fun). My life is in motion bumping up against the parameters (or shall I say the principles) of life. All the while, I know there is a destination [...]
God’s call…
Posted: February 2, 2009 in Calling, Faith, Obedience, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual GrowthThese words by Oswald Chambers always seem to stir my mind and my heart. Everyone is not called to preach. But we are all “called” to serve the Lord with the gifts that we have been given. Once someone begins to hear that call, a suffering worthy of the name of Christ is produced. Suddenly, [...]
Bloom where you are planted…
Posted: January 30, 2009 in Calling, Conversation with God, Discipleship, Faith, Oswald Chambers, Random Thoughts, Trusting God…but don’t be surprised if where you are planted is in a nursery.

While working there I would [...]

Why all the fear?
Posted: January 8, 2009 in Bible Reading, Calling, Confidence, Conversation with God, Faith, Fear, Memories, Oswald Chambers, Psalms, The Bible, Trusting GodI recall sitting in my bedroom on Walnut Dr. It was summer. I think I was 19 years old. I knew what God was wanting to do with me at the time. I knew what He was calling me to do. I knew what He was preparing. But I had this fear of stepping out [...]
A time of waiting…
Posted: January 4, 2009 in Calling, Confidence, Conversation with God, Dreams, Focus, Future, Oswald Chambers, Vision, WaitingI can’t state it any better than Oswald Chambers. My words I have tried to put together are worthless to go with this quote. So, I’ll just let Chambers do the talking. There are times when you can’t understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings a time of waiting, [...]
Are you being changed?
Posted: November 16, 2008 in Bible Reading, Bible Study, Calling, Discipleship, Faith, Family, Focus, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual GrowthI don’t have the opportunity to see either of my parents very much. In fact almost never. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen either of my parents. I was hoping to make the rounds this Thanksgiving and Christmas season to see them both. My Dad is in South Georgia and my Mom is [...]
