Do you ever feel defeated? Everything is going wrong. No matter what you try it seems things just don't work out. You feel frustrated and at the edge of despair. And you are just ready to give up. Can anything else go wrong? In Psalm 143:3 AMPC David says, "For the enemy has pursued and [...]
Time, is there ever enough of it? It doesn't seem like it. My to-do lists always seem longer than the hours in the day. This month my Recalibrate Life read is A Place Called Simplicity: The Quiet Beauty of Simple Living by Claire Cloninger. The feeling that we lack time seems to complicate life; it [...]
Living fearlessly means living with your eyes glued on the Lord, not on your circumstances. Focusing on who God is and what He is able to do changes everything. In the book of Daniel, we read about the men who were thrown into the fiery furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar had set up a golden image and commanded [...]

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will, but yours be done." Luke 22:42 Beautiful surrender to the will of God for the glory of God, that is what Jesus shows us there in the Garden of Gethsemane. He shares the sorrow and agony of His heart, asks for a [...]
Do you feel lonely? We all go through seasons of loneliness. Times when we feel no one is really listening. Times when no one sees who we are. Times when it seems that no one even cares what we do. We want to be known. Loneliness makes my heart hurt. It is sad. It is [...]
Dear Followers and Readers, I don't usually write a second post for a day, but I need to apologize to each one of you. I am so grateful for each one of you who come to visit my blog and to those who receive my posts via email. I do not take it lightly that [...]
