Friend, you deserve it all:
safety, comfort, kindness,
empathy, community.
You are worthy to put your
bare feet and hands on this
this earth and know, it is where
you come from and where
you belong.
You deserve a life that
feels like home. 🩷

Good morning, friend! Today is unique! It has never occurred before and it will never be repeated. The hours in a day God gives to you should never be wasted as they are opportunities with wonderful eternal possibilities. Get up, get dressed and get out there!

Friend, always believe in a better day if what you are living now seems stressful. You are here for a higher purpose than you know and you have a God that will show you.
SMILE ... It looks good on you.
~Isaiah 43:2~
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.

It’s amazing how much coverage the fires are getting in California and the little coverage that was mentioned in North Carolina and Tennessee. This is sinful, absolutely pathetic!
So many people in western North Carolina have never talked to FEMA... so many are forgotten as they sit IN A TENT in subzero weather.
126,000 Homes Destroyed
104 Confirmed Deaths
$60 Billion in Damages

There is still hope and Churches in the Streets are gearing up again to help the forgotten folks of NC.
Please send your donations, big or small to COTS to help them help others. They are a blessing to so many ... they take our HOPE to others!

Thank you all for caring!

Friend, when we run out of gas, God's still got a full tank. When we can't do it, He can. Depend on Him ... if you've got the faith, He's got the gas. 💜

Friend, I wish for you a JOYFUL day, knowing that it is only by God's grace you will receive it.
JOY does not arrive with a fanfare on a red carpet strewn with the flowers of a perfect life.
JOY sneaks in as you pour a cup of coffee watching the sun shine thru your favorite tree at just the right angle.
You usher JOY away at times
because you are not ready for her.
Your house is not ready for such a distinguished guest but JOY, you see cares nothing for your messy home, or your bank balance or your waistline.
JOY is supposed to slither through the cracks of your imperfect life.... that’s how JOY works!
You cannot truly invite her, you can only be ready when she appears.
Hug her with meaning because in this very moment,
JOY CHOSE YOU. 🌹

Friend, let CHRISTmas warm your heart all year long. When you are able to give to others, you are God's answer to another's prayers. You can be that angel... you can be that JOYFUL FRIEND. 🩷
