June Blooms — Part I
Posted on June 5, 2018 Leave a Comment
Certain areas of the world and the United States have pretty much the same weather all year round. But where I live in Pennsylvania, June is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. We generally have all four seasons here, but they are not always predictable. #JuneBlooms #SeasonShift #GodsTiming4YourLife

Testing comes before promotion. In school, we must study and take tests, so we may pass to the next grade. Or graduate from high school, or college. It’s the same in our spiritual walk. A few weeks ago, we talked of the valley of testing. It helps prepare divine shift to unlock your blessings that […]

Throughout April, we’ve been looking at God’s Timing for Your Life, by Dutch Sheets. I’ve read this little book many times since it was released in 2001. Rev. Sheets outlines nine keys to creating a shift in your life, getting you ready to walk into God’s favor. We’ll be looking at those keys during the […]

We’re looking at the year through the eyes of each month. Wonderful things can certainly come in any month, but somehow, right now, April is a time of blessing, because of traditional “April showers.” Click to Tweet #AprilShowersofBlessing #GodsTimingForYourLife
April Showers of Blessing—Part III

Joy truly does come after a season of disappointments and weeping…of emotional and/or physical pain. Glimpses of joy, a great event can be seen during times of trial. I alluded to one in the fall of 2016. Trials come before blessing, before our “promised land” or as some ministers, including my pastor put it, your […]

Our second day of April brought snow instead of rain, an example of being “out of season.” Which can mean we could be out of God’s Timing. Last time, I talked about two of the words for “time” — chronos and kairos. Chronos is ordinary time. Kairos is opportune time. Which time are you in? […]
March Winds — Part III

This is the last week of March. The winds of change are calming down a bit, but they have left their mark on me. I am not the same person I was even three weeks ago…or earlier this year. There are seasons in life when all goes along, time passes, but it seems nothing is […]
