Biscotti is a gift to me from God. That may sound a bit dramatic, but I tell you she absolutely is a gift. Last November, I began praying and looking for a dog. The last two dogs I had just fell in my lap but this time I had to go looking for her. Every…
Category Archives: Worship Wednesday
Welcome to Worship Wednesday! Join me each Wednesday for an uplifting devotion worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wednesdays can be hard. It’s the middle of the week. We are tired. Life is busy. The “Sunday High” has worn off. Come here to get your spiritual batteries recharged.
I will give you my insights into God’s Word. We will meditate on Scripture and offer a prayer of praise. Please leave an encouraging word for your Living Bellissima friends.
Sit back and enjoy what God has to say to you today. What a great way to start your Wednesday!
Rest in His Shadow
I wrote this post years ago. I had to repost because the message spoke to me and maybe it will to you. “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God,…
A Sneak Peek into What I’m Writing
I am working on my next book and I wrote this paragraph the other day. I thought I would share it with you today. It is because He wants to meet us in our pain. Remember the goal of this book is to grow in a deeper more intimate relationship with God through spiritual disciplines. …
Don’t Be Afraid; Just Believe
Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, ‘Don’t be afraid; just believe.’ Mark 5:36 Jesus gives a simple five word command, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” “Don’t be afraid.” I believe that most things we worry about stem from fear. What is it that you are afraid of? When the whole world is…
Strength
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power to the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary,…
Overcome with Anguish? Can’t Breathe? What’s the answer?
I first wrote this in September, 2016. I have a feeling it might speak to someone. “Do not be afraid, O man highly esteemed,” he said. “Peace! Be strong now; be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.” Daniel 10:19 “Don’t be…
The Art of Slowing Down
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10 When I was a teenager the movie, Dead Poet’s Society debuted. It was a hit and one of my all time favorite movies. If you have seen it then you know the famous line, “Carpe diem. Seize the day, gather ye rosebuds while ye may.”…
Are You Feeling a Little Off?
I’m not sure about you, but for the last few days, I’ve been just a little off. I can’t put my finger on it, but something is, well, off. How are you doing? Is all this getting to you? Are you feeling a little off? I can’t believe I’m the only one who is feeling…
Play the Long Game
If you keep talking, it won’t be longbefore you’re saying something really wrong.Prove you’re wise from the very start—just bite your tongue and be strong! Proverbs 10:19 TPT As I get older, I see the value in playing the long game. It serves as a good reminder to me, Girlfriend, you are investing in the…
Masterpiece
Ephesians 2:10 NIV “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” I love this verse! This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible for two reasons. Let me share them with you now. The word workmanship can better be…
