Lead Your Life Knowing the Effects of Sowing and Reaping
We are always so quick to tell someone that the offender will have it coming, but what about our own lives? And maybe they’ve done, whatever the offence, completely innocently!?

How to Have Peace in Crisis
While the other thoughts had been pulling on my sympathy strings, this one brought me some reality. My thoughts were leading me down a path that I didn’t want to go down and it was entirely up to me to stop! Then, the scripture from Isaiah came up in me and I grabbed onto it and spoke it over and over – louder than the thoughts that were still trying to cling to me! It was a fight for my mind. A fight for my peace. Peace that Jesus had already died and paid for! Peace that though made available, I had to lay hold of and refuse to let go!

See Me ‘For Who He Really Is’
Share List In the 90’s there was a Christian song that was quite popular. The title of it was, “For Who He Really Is” and it was written and performed by Steven Curtis Chapman. I’m going to share some of the lyrics with you but encourage you to check it out on YouTube! (view one of the many videos of this song below; full lyrics in the description of the video, which you’ll be able to see if you click …
Get Out of the Ditch Together
Share List My ‘why’ I’ve been criticized for the stand I’ve taken on a wife being in submission to her husband, and I’m ok with it. In fact I’m not bothered by it anymore at all because I am super secure in who I am (in Christ) and the realization that submission does not mean inferior. Letting my husband lead has kept us from many emotional catastrophes! Circumstances that we detoured because John wouldn’t let me respond according to how …
A Need to Stick Together
Share List I’m going to throw in some marriage advice today. “Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” Amos 3:3 NLT Recently I was talking to one of my girls about this subject and this illustration came to me. The two front wheels of any vehicle are connected by an axle and whichever way the steering column steers is the way BOTH wheels turn, because they are connected!! This is the way a husband and wife need …
Our Assignment From Head Office
Share List Recently I came across a social media post where someone was insulting an entire group of people of a different persuasion. While I found myself more likely to agree on the subject with the ‘basher’ the delivery was repulsive. It actually reminded me of the extremists that bomb pro- choice clinics in an effort to protest abortions. Which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!! I am pro-life all the way; which is why it would then be ludicrous for …
Commitment to Christ
Share List Having been on a HUGE break for too many reasons/excuses to share, my conviction about writing this blog has finally broken through and here we are! 2020 hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride. In fact quite the opposite is true. Most people (and sadly not just unbelievers) have fallen prey to the fear that is being spread by every media source and consequently many have fallen away from what truly matters and have instead been enticed away by vain …
Gather Rise Women’s Event in Oakville
Share List Gather with women in October for the 3rd National Gather Women Event happening in Oakville. The intention of this event is to encourage women to move on God’s call in their life. So, really this event is for every woman, young and old… whether you’re responding to God every moment of every day (anyone who is there yet??) or not sure how God even lets you know what His purpose is for you or the many …
You Set the Course
Share List Have you ever wanted something? I don’t mean ‘wish’. I mean you wanted to change a circumstance or reach a goal? In those circumstances there are only two options. There’s do or don’t, there is no try! It sounds hard and condemning, but it’s the absolute truth! We tend to want to give marks for effort, but when it comes right down to it, it’s what you do that brings the desired end result, not what you …
