Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 5:14 NLT: for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light." Have you ever experienced when God hits you over the head again and again with a specific scripture? Just yesterday my friend Allen Robertson referenced this scripture ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I give thanks to the LORD and praise His name.
What do we have to be thankful for? Let us count the ways. In the Celebrate Recovery Lesson 22 on Gratitude John Baker recommends we create a Gratitude List.

I was reminded yesterday of a large reason why I have found my purpose in these affirmations. I have been given another set of cd’s from a self help guru who espouses the creation of your dream life through affirmations.
