Beloved–

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.  (from Proverbs)

 Despite the blessings of 18 months of sound Bible teaching, I failed to incorporate daily reading and praying.  I continued my arrogant attitude throughout my Christian teens and young adulthood. Then, all in one day my whole life became a dark hole that seemed to be overwhelming me once again.  I cried and I prayed until I was overcome with a calm.  Then, I understood that I had to buckle down and study my heritage in Christ. I began to read my bible everyday, not just studying individual passages but really absorbing every word.  I pray for you to choose his way so that you will recognize his voice, even when he speaks to you in a whisper. Praise our triune God.

Luv Ya! 

Beloved–

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,   you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”  (from the book of John)

A babe in Christ Jesus.  A babe for sure, I hadn’t a clue what had happened. I just knew I was saved, not sure from what.  And so began my infant/toddler learning years on how and why to use my heritage as a child of God.  Let me tell you, it was a huge learning curve for me with a mindset of a –non-sinner–  I came kicking and screaming, all the way.  My effort at obedience was a disaster caused by my arrogant pride of  “yes sir, no sir, whatever you say sir” attitude.  I pray for you to desire to conform your life to his way, recognizing pride in all its forms while praising the God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. (from the book of John)

I was alone, falling into the deepest darkest hole, me the problem solver, with no solution to stop me from failure.  I was distraught and in tears, when I was reminded of the words I had morized as an 8-year-old.  As I repeated those words  … The Lord is my shepherd … I knew I would never be alone again.  I became a babe in Christ Jesus!  I pray for you to be drawn to the Son whose Father, God loves you with an unending, everlasting love.

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!
