July 7, 2017 “For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/2ti.1.7.asv “Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,” ‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭22:47‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/2sa.22.47.asv The last few days have been a challenge to say the least. I feel like satan may have won this battle, but I know God has beat him in the end. I may not feel happy or cheerful right now, but I know God is Lord! And I know God has everything in His control! Praise your Holy name Lord God Almighty!!!! But let me…

June 27, 2017 “Trust in him at all times, ye people; Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. [Selah”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭62:8‬ ‭ASV‬‬http://bible.com/12/psa.62.8.asv As much as I hate to acknowledge it, I know that trials and tribulations come our way. Sometimes it’s from our own doing, sometimes it’s because of the fallen world around us, no fault of our own, and sometimes it’s to get our attention. No matter what the reason, my prayer is that I will learn and remember to seek Gods refuge, instead of trying to comfort or protect myself, or look to someone or something else to fix it. I find myself trying to…

June 22, 2017 “Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 When I was a teenager I loved the Holly Hobby dolls. I’m not sure why, but the look intrigued me. I had water glasses with her on them, and pictures on my wall. I even made a really cool paper machete 3D picture for my  bedroom. As I’ve grown up, I still have a fond memory of Holly Hobby. My husband gave me a cute little Holly Hobby figurine that I have on my dresser. This picture of one of our grandchildren wearing my hat, reminds…

June 17, 2017  “But if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and ubraideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5 Happy Fathers Day! This day is set aside to honor fathers everywhere. If you are reading this and are fortunate enough to be able to honor your father, or have children that will honor you as a father, enjoy! If you are not a dad, or have lost your dad, or maybe your relationship with your father is not the best, reach out to others in the same situation. A card, letter, social media message, pictures, prayer, call, gift,…

June 16, 2017 Picture by Gary Hymer Blog by Debbie Hymer Inspired by God “I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2:1-3‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/1ti.2.1-3.asv “if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”…

June 10, 2017 |Picture by Gary Hymer Blog by Debbie Hymer Inspired by God “As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” Matthew 17:22-23 Praying for the prayer blog subject this week, I had a dream. It’s a very strange dream, and I can’t really remember the details. The best I can do is to write the way it made me feel. This really sounds crazy, but as I reason with myself, I did pray for a subject, and this…

June 1, 2017 Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Why do I get so depressed? Why do I feel like crying my eyes out because I didn’t get the job I prayed for? My hopes were so huge! I was so sure! The interview went better than expected. Nothing but praise and encouragement from my bosses and the interviewers. But I didn’t get the job. I felt like running to the bathroom to cry it out. Stay strong I tell myself, keep the smile on my face and a positive attitude. I can cry all the way home. In the car I’m good, sad but…

May 26, 2017 “He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Mathew 17:20-21 Look around us, really look at everything around us. What magnificent beauty! I’ve heard people say God doesn’t perform miracles like He use to. Well I totally disagree! They’re all around us all the time. I think we sometimes take things for granted. We obviously don’t see what goes on behind the scenes. I don’t think we, or at least…

May 20, 2017 “For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:15-16‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/rom.8.15-16.asv When a person understands about salvation, how it works, and accepts it as it is, there are so many emotions involved. I remember when I was younger, I had been a Christian for about 4 years. I accepted that Jesus was on this earth as a man and is Gods son. I accepted the fact that Jesus, the only perfect human being died on the cross…

May 13, 2017 “She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.” Proverbs 31: 27-31 This day is set aside to honor mothers everywhere. If you are reading this and are fortunate enough to be able to honor your mother, or have children…
