About following His call to us: It is when we have saturated ourselves with God's Word, spent hours in His presence, and received His love unconditionally, that He moves people into our lives. When we are ready.

God had the final word with me and probably laughed. I had 5 children in 7 years, all with using birth control. So, the answer is that the measures you take do not always "control" after all.

I'm not really sure if God answers why we must suffer exactly and I don't believe the answer is always to make someone a stronger believer. If you have ever really suffered in a physical way as Job did, you learn that you really have no control over your own life. You learn that there is no...

Really need your prayers as I am not doing well. Can’t lay my head down without terrible nerve pain which pain medicine doesn’t seem to touch. Seems to be getting worse and will see doctor this next week. So I sleep in moments here and there while sitting in a chair. Obviously not...

What helps you rejoice when you are going through the worst of times?

Doctor's visit today. He is happy that I'm maintaining my weight at 103 - and tells me not to worry if I do not gain. Weight gain should not be my focus now - just to maintain where I am. And for a month I've done just that. The mucus in my throat can only be HELPED (or not) by...

I have learned how to calm and quiet my soul as David says in Ps. 131. Might as well post what I do here, even the silly ones. Because there is a part of me that has some monsters under the bed if I looked long enough. 1. Keeping my eyes on Jesus - on how greatly I'm loved, and that He only...

Days seem to move so slow. And still much clearing of congestion in throat when I eat. The food goes down, but it is truly work. When I talk, my mouth is full of too much saliva and I have to keep it from drooling out of the side of my mouth by swallowing a lot. I feel like I'm...

The only way

I've never had to work harder at something! Therapists who have come to my home have given me so many exercises to do everyday. It really does come down to how badly you want to heal. Exercises for the legs because the muscles are so weak. Exercises for the arms with tension...

"According to your faith shall it be done unto you." I have come to the conclusion that our faith only SETS LIMITS as to what God can do in our life. But it does not mean that we will always get what we want just because we have faith for it. I totally had faith that my healing was...

I feel like I've been kicked while down. Just about the time I was learning to talk with a prosthesis from my palates being surgically removed after the cancer in my mouth, another tumor popped up in my neck. Surgery was last week and there is nothing left in the left side of my neck except...

It is first of all a choice you make. You choose to let go of control and in that letting go you pray your surrender. You tell Him that you choose to allow Him to take full control. But once you do that, your flesh has it's own habits, and doubt will creep in (as you have said it does)...

This picture I posted is with acrylic. But I prefer to do watercolors. They just don't print out as well. Here is another one that was in watercolor.

One of my favorite verses.

When God Became a Man . . . Before the first Christmas, the world had no clue what God was like – or if there even was a god. Even though God revealed Himself through His creation and to the Jews He proved that He was good and powerful but that He demanded certain behaviors that would result...

If an unbeliever's 13 year old son committed suicide and asked you if you thought her son was in heaven, how would you respond? This is a question that will be asked of me in the near future. And I would like to hear from all of you as to the best answer. Thanks, Joi

I want to earn this rep. This is my first Christmas years and years ago. How simple. No presents were wrapped because there was no money to purchase paper. And no kid really needs more than this if she is only 2.

God bless you.

Mine seem to go through okay. It must be the name of Jesus!
