Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus…asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things [he] your faith prompts you to do. (from Thessalonians)

As an adolescent Christian I desperately wanted to know God’s will for my life; but I was Biblically illiterate.  The chaos of life drove me to his Word where I found peace of mind and heart.

I pray everyday for you to KNOW his presence and to be joyful no matter what!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

…anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. (from Thessalonians)

As an adolescent Christian I knew that I had been given the Holy Spirit.  My problem was, I lacked the spiritual wisdom to be able to recognize the difference between being responsible for painting myself into a corner or was I being attacked by the enemy.

I pray for you daily to know the constant presence of the Holy Spirit so that you will recognize the enemy.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.  (from Colossians)

As a baby Christian I quickly learned the comfort of prayer for ME; I knew I wasn’t alone, all I needed to do was give thanks and pay attention.

As I learned and saw the power of praise and prayer overcome my fears because my Lord had chosen my heart before he made the “first handfuls of soil” my heart became burdened for those other hearts he has chosen.

I pray everyday for you to stay alert and see the Lord working in your life.

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!

Beloved–

Get the truth and never sell it; also get wisdom, [self] discipline, and good judgment. (Prov 23:23)   …I want [you] them to have complete confidence that [you] they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (from Colossians)

Having and keeping Christ at the forefront of my thoughts every moment of everyday is what keeps me sane in the midst of life’s chaos.  May God bless you with his presence daily in the new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
