| The Bridge of Life | Seek Things from Above
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. (Colossians 3:1-2, KJV)
The mind is a powerful tool. With it, we can convince ourselves to do things and we can also psych ourselves out as well. Joyce Meyer has a line from one of her CD series: “Where the mind goes, the man follows.” Where is your mind leading you?
It is not easy to let go of the cares of this world

| Just My Size | The Quest of Spiritual Women Soldiers
All of my life I have heard the statement, Soldiers of the Cross. I often wondered when I was a child how one would be an soldier for Christ. For one thing, I always thought soldiers were only men. Big strong, muscular men with only one main job and that was to kill.
As I grew up I realized many of my views of soldiers were misunderstood. When I was taught that God required us to become soldiers in His army my mind had to realign my concept of a soldier.
I had to take a closer look at what exa

| God's Crazy Quilt | Think Like God
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. (Job 37:14, KJV)
Have you ever tried to count all the stars in the sky? You may even get to a couple thousand and someone interrupts you and you have to start over again. What is even more frustrating is at a couple thousand you weren’t even close to getting all the stars, besides the fact there are stars being born and dying all the time. All-in-all this is a very daunting task and something mere humans cannot ever c

| God's Tender Morsels | Yet Will I Trust Him
Trust is something that is earned in most cases. This actually goes for adults. Children are different. They start out trusting others until they give them a reason not to. Here is where the lesson begins, girls.
It is not easy to trust God. I can say it because I have felt it. When I was younger I knew that there was a God, but I didn’t really know Him. Everyone had their own ideas about how to communicate with God and how to define Him. I now know that God won’t fit in a box. But we are get

| Poetry Lane | A Woman's Heart Cry
I am a woman feeling alone in a crowded room
Feeling my sorrow and nothing but doom
Friends not close and all but gone
This makes me feel even more alone
Father, I need your grace to see me though
Your love, your strength and compassion too
Day to day life trials brings me down
My face can only carry a intense frown
Father, I heard you love in the face of fear
I need your love close, and very near
The enemy tries to drag me back
But I know you can keep me on the right track
A woman’s woes are many not

| The Reflecting Well | Listening to God
Are you listening to God? Sometimes we pray to God and feel as though He is not listening to us. Yet, oftentimes He is. Many times He is telling us to be still. God talks to us in many ways. He answers our prayers in many ways. He will either tell us to wait, or tell us no. He even tells us yes. However, He is talking to us.
“Hear attentively the thunder of His voice, and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.” Job 37:2
If we are attentive to His word, and hear the instructions He gives us,
