Lost But Not Forgotten Many years ago God put a desire into my heart to write encouraging stories which spoke of His loving-kindness so that others would want to experience His goodness. At first, I believed the dream was from Him because it glorified God and I could feel an agreement of my desires by the leading of the precious Holy Spirit. But I was too new in my walk with God to have absolute certainty that he was speaking to me. I guess now when I look back on it, since I have a popular blog, written two books, and have almost finished with writing book one of my fantasy series, I am sure it was Him. My story reminds me of the story of Joseph in the Bible; he had a dream. Genesis 37:5-8 “And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, a...
When God Seems Distant Did you know God loves you even when you are not perfect, lost, lonely, fearful, or sad? Although sometimes we do not feel like he cares, and His lovely Holy Spirit appears miles away, please understand that God is continually there. He is waiting for us to reach out to Him for help in times of need. One thing I have learned over the years, from my own experience, is that we must always trust that he knows our situation. He is there for protection when we are fearful, provides wisdom when we need guidance, and love and companionship when we are lonely.

The words become alive as I read, offering me comfort and companionship as I immerse myself into i...
The Woman and the Blood The holiday season is quickly approaching us. It is the time when most people spend time with family and other loved ones, and for this brief period of time, most people seem truly happy and caring. But for some, it is a time of loneliness and isolation giving them pain instead of joy since a lot of people do not have anyone. Also, sad but true, even those with family members or perceived loved ones around every day still remark that they are lonely. There might be loads of people in your circle of life, nevertheless, like someone once said, “you can be lonely in a crowd.” However, I would like to remind you that those emotions are not real, they are just feelings meant to cause you despair or depression. The Holy Spirit, too, wanted me to remind you that if you have accepted the precious gift of Jesus, and call Him Lord, “You are never alone, He is with you.” It might seem as if no one cares for you, the world had as abandoned you, or `you are suffe...
