God’s Pink Pelicans

If you think the Lord God almighty doesn’t have anything to do with pink pelicans, think again! Oh, what a beautiful pink pelican of a surprise He blessed me with one day as I stayed in yet another hotel in my life on the road full-time for Jesus. I was outdoors in the hot summer South Carolina weather when I called out to a woman also staying at the hotel how much I loved her pants and matching big pocketbook. With big pink pelicans! Know what that total stranger did?

Several hours later, she s...

Get in Your Place!

Dear friend,

Sometimes, often if the truth be known, words just come pouring out of my heart as I write. Other times, it seems virtually impossible for me to write a single message. Some would call this in worldly terms, “writer’s block.” That is not my experience. I have found those trying times in writing are usually either because in my flesh I am afraid, exhausted, not yielded to the Lord, proud, judgmental, lacking love, distracted, etc. Or, as I have often experienced, the devil is coming ...

Good & Faithful Servants

Periodically, I have heard people share their yearning for the Lord to look upon them when their lives on this earth are over and they stand before Him and say these words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” They are referring to a well-known Bible story I read, studied, and heard preached for years before something dawned on me I had totally missed.

In the story, a lord gives talents (money) to his servants while he goes away on a trip only to return and discover several were “good and fai...

Weary?

Ever get so worn out doing something that you feel like you’re not going to make it one step further? If you’re in that place right now, I encourage you to pray to and seek and listen to and obey the Lord.

Sometimes this happens because we’re doing something that is not His will. Sometimes it happens because it is His will but we’re not doing it in His time frame. Sometimes it happens because it is His will and it is in His time frame but we’re putting our trust in ourselves trying to do it in o...

Good News Daily – August 21

Dear Friend,

So excited! Today is day two of sharing with you my newest book as I write it! I am also so incredibly thankful that the Lord has just opened wide the door to a wonderful ministry opportunity concerning my writing – a door He emphatically let me know He had opened in the past and never shut though I had walked away from the opportunity. Oh, how loving, patient, and merciful is the Lord! I am also rejoicing that I have just ordered my first copy of my just written and published book ...

Paralyzed Ministry Dogs!

JOY, JOY, JOY! I am so blessed to be on the road full-time for the Lord Jesus Christ for almost 3.5 years now with my beloved handicapped ministry dogs doing streets ministry, writing & publishing Gospel tracts, devotionals & books, doing video devotionals, and doing one-on-one ministry. The Lord transformed me from a woman broken beyond human hope & repair for DECADES into a woman who is TOTALLY DEVOTED to the Lord Jesus Christ now & forevermore!

A New Day!

Another day! Praise the Lord! I was broken for decades and rest assured the last thing in the world I was on many mornings was excited at the prospect of a new day. I was miserable, lost, and depressed, and it was daunting to imagine how I would make it through the day. Even once I became a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, it was a long, long time before I stopped living for myself, started living for Him, and learned the blessedness of a brand new day! Now I am so blessed and so thankful for ...

Good News Daily – Thursday August 20

Dear Friend,

I am THRILLED beyond measure to share with you that as I wait for my just finished book to be published and for the two previous books I just revised to be published as well, today marks the very first day of my sharing with you the brand new book I have started writing which I will share with you via Good News Daily even as I write it!

My last summer of college was spent at the beach. My loving and generous parents told me I could use their ocean front beach condominium for the sum...

Update & Prayer Request

Dear Friend,

I am in awe. Have you ever been in awe? So in awe you feel like your mouth could drop open and never shut because you’re so shocked by something? That’s how I feel even as I write this! Why? I am sitting in the South Carolina summer heat at a tiny table with a folding chair in the parking lot of the hotel where I am currently staying as I continue being on the road for Jesus full-time with my beloved handicapped ministry dogs for almost 3.5 years now. Just minutes ago, I finished wr...

Update & Prayer Request

Dear friend,

Hard to believe I was once so broken for decades I couldn’t imagine how I would make it through the next 5 minutes of my life, contemplated suicide on and off for about 20 years, and could’t fathom there was any point or purpose to my life other than constant struggle and suffering.

This very day, I am working exceedingly hard on preparing the 8th book I have written for publication, just revised 2 previous books, have begun working on my 9th one, am frustrated that my streets minis...
