My pastor asks, “How can we not worship the God that is?”

God is Almighty!  He is all knowing and yet he stepped down into humanity to be the innocent sacrificial lamb to pay a debt I couldn’t pay so that I could become his beloved child.  I know that everybody who reads the words above will interpret/understand them according their own mind set.  

If you only get one thing from It’s Wednesday; it is that God loves us not because we have the potential to be good enough (none of us can attain his goodness) but because he is good.  He is entitled to our worship and praise!

I pray everyday that you will recognize God’s right to your praise and adoration.

Luv Ya!

Babies want what they want or they cry incessantly (just ask any new parent).  That “baby” attitude can continue into adulthood in many ways even in a child of God.  But like any good parent would, my heavenly father reminds and guides me; life is not about me, myself and I!  He loves me, warts and all.

O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up.  You know my thoughts….  Psm 139

I pray daily for you to be constantly aware of his presence even when you feel alone.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Knowing that there was a purpose for my life–Glorifying God–made me want to know the “how to” part.  

KNOW WHO IS IN CHARGE

Proverbs 1:7  (NLT)  Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge,  but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

Proverbs 27:23  (NLT) Know the state of your flocks,  and put your heart into caring for your herds.

I  pray daily for you and me to be ever vigilant and never lacking in our efforts.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

When I felt my life was empty and useless, I called out to God.  I learned through the Word that I sinned because I was a sinner and needed a savior. (Psalm 23).  With my life centered on Christ and confronted with trials of too much to do and not enough day (Isaiah 26:3) or a crisis of family betrayal (Acts 2:25-26); even in my infirmity the Word comforts me and I am able to say yes sir, no sir, whatever you say,sir!  (Proverbs 10:22)

My daily prayer for you is that the Lord will bless you as you study the Word; and that I will be a blessing or a thorn in your side each week.

Luv Ya!

The History of “It’s Wednesday”

The power of praise and prayer has been a passion of mine since I was a very young Christian.  As a church secretary, I took on the prayer ministry, especially for students and teachers at the preschool located on the church campus.

The prayer ministry came to include actual hands-on prayer, Wednesday was the designated day.  One particular teacher would often say to me “It’s Wednesday isn’t it?”  When she resigned to return to school she said she would miss our weekly prayer time.  I told her, “don’t worry I’ll email you your prayer.”

In her first emailed prayer I wrote on the subject line “It’s Wednesday” and the title just stuck.  I would like to introduce you to that weekly email known as It’s Wednesday, that began in 2003.

I’m praying daily for YOU and that you will fall in love with Jesus more and more everyday; He has taken out your heart of stone and given you a heart of flesh and blood…His blood!

Luv Ya!
