Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails" Have you ever made plans in your ministry only to realize that God is going to change them? What? Why? I have 2 monthly calendars that I look at, not to mention my phone calendar. And I try to keep on top of things! Still, things change! I have many projects on the back burner. Maybe I will get to them. Maybe not. Recently, one door shut. I will be honest, my feelings wer

"Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!" Luke 12:27-28 NIV I planted zinnias this year. They are beautiful. When I look at them, I am reminded of this Scripture. I can look out of my office window and gaze up

Have you ever been in that "in between" space. You know...the one that makes you anxious or weary? It could be a deep valley that you are walking through. Every step is a struggle and it feels extremely lonely. Oh, you know that eventually you will come to the other side. But, how long, God? In Psalm 13:1 David wrote: "How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?" Or maybe this space makes you anxious as you anticipate that next wave.

Scripture: “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness” (Proverbs 31:26 NKJV). Thought: Being a mom isn’t easy. I have been parenting children for almost 37 years (I am raising a 17 year old grandchild)! I tell people: “I am either doing something really right and God wants me to keep doing it, or I am doing something really wrong and He is giving more chances to get it right.” But seriously, it is not easy! When they are little, we look forward

Suffering is experiencing physical, mental, or emotional pain, distress, or misery. Even as Christians, this word makes us cringe. We do not want to go through the difficulties in life that might cause us grief and anguish. And it often becomes a challenge to help others who are going through these things. However, looking at it through a spiritual lens allows us to view something beautiful in these seasons. And then we can help those who are struggling to develop a greater r

March is Women's History Month! Empower yourself and future generations. Here are 4 things to consider: #1 - Consider National History I homeschool my oldest granddaughter. We were recently studying history and came across the letter written by Abigail Adams to her husband John, who would later become the 2nd President of the United States. According to Founders Online, she said, " And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make

Scripture “ And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. ” Luke 2:7 (NKJV). Thought Think about your many Christmas tables over your lifetime: the decorations the food the family and friends (some still here and some no longer here) One of my childhood memories is about Grandma & Grandpa Mix’s Christmas Eve table with punch and cookies. One year, we went to Florida for

Being grateful in the midst of loss can be hard. There sits the empty chair. You look at the empty chair. You think about the empty chair. You wonder if there was something different that you could have done or said to change that empty chair. You think about how things should be instead of how they truly are, Creating a grateful table seems unobtainable. The loss of our child this year has been hard. As we approach the holiday season, we know that we must to cling to God. Hi

Recent Highlights On October 9th and 10th, Steady Course Ministries hosted its 3rd annual event. The 2025 Fall Summit was a free virtual event comprised of 14 Christian speakers, poetry, music, and giveaways! This year, the Lord gave me a theme: Intentional. From there, I gave out subtopics.
