Vignettes 🏃🏻‍♀️ Run Your Race Well! I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.   2 Timothy 4:7 NLT🏃🏻‍♀️ How is your race, your race of life, your Journey With Jesus  going? Paul, when he came to the end of his life, knew without a doubt that he had run his race well! 🏃🏻‍♀️Paul said of himself, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.  Are you running your race well? Will you, too, be finishing strong? Are you keeping the faith, or are you sitting by the wayside, having started strong but now your faith is flagging? Are you merely watching the others running their race, maybe heckling or criticizing their form, yet doing nothing to get up and go, to stir up your gift and the measure of faith that was given to you, into action? 🏃🏻‍♀️I know it's a personal question but it would help you and build you up to answer honestly, How is your personal Journey With Jesus going? ...

Vignettes I'm Taking Healing He personally carried our sins in His body on the Cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By His wounds you are healed. 1   Peter 2:24 NLT You sneeze, feel an itch in your throat, or you wake up with a few body aches and pains. What do you say when that happens? Most people's first words are, I must be taking a cold, the flu or the virus .  Or an old, familiar pain attacks your body. Do you proudly confess, My mom/ dad had this, too. This is in our family. I've had it for years! O well, I must be taking ill again. Being proud of familial illnesses, weaknesses or poverty is not wise! We need to change our narrative. We must train our mouths not to speak the first thing that comes into our minds! How about instead of saying I must be taking the flu or the virus when sneezing, itches, aches or pains attack your body. How about Confessing, I must be taking healing! when that happens. When fear and anxiety hit, how about not...

Vignettes The Beginning of Better Things In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 Today, yes, today, is The Beginning of Better Things for you, if you will only believe God. The Bible tells us that In the Beginning Was The Word . We need to live by that truth daily. Start your day off right . In the beginning of your day, declare the Word of God in faith over yourself, your family, your business, your ministry, and your mind. Say what God says about you and not what people or the devil says about you.  When we stop rehearsing the meanness of others towards us in our minds; when we refuse to buy into the devils daily diet of fear, complaints, gossip, fault-finding and criticism; when we choose instead to begin every day in the Lord and in His Word , then God will work alongside us to enable us to live in the victory that today, this day, is The Beginning of Better Things . You have the awesome privilege daily to have a fresh, new ...

Vignettes Sounds In The Night Psalm 139:11-12 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You; but the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. Ever heard sounds in the night ? Or have you ever been woken up by terrified-of-the-night children? Those sounds in the night are scary especially as to what your imagination can come up with. The Psalmist says that the darkness cannot hide from God ; that, to God, the night shines as the day . Both darkness and light are the same to God . In other words, what scares you, those sounds in the night, do not terrify God at all. He can see what is causing those sounds, and if you trust In Him and listen in your spirit, He will show you what to do. That is why you can call on God and rely on Him even in the darkest, scariest night of them all. But sometimes the sounds in the night are not only external. Sounds of grief...

Vignettes Praise Looks Good On You! Psalm 147:1 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant and praise is beautiful. Praise is beautiful! Praise is comely! In other words, to God, praise looks good on you! When you and I praise God, it melts His heart. When we praise Him with all of our hearts, it makes Him sit up and pay attention. In God’s eyes, praise makes you look good. It is good to sing praises to our God, and praise and worship makes us feel good. It elevates our spirits, carrying us on wings of hope , happiness, joy, satisfaction and peace into the very Presence of God and of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. When we praise God, we know we are doing a good thing, unlike when we murmur and complain, which only leaves us feeling bitter, insecure and burdened by the cares and troubles of this world. You singing and worshipping the Lord is a sweet and pleasant sound in His ears, one He loves hearing daily. We all like to look good. But we a...
