Debbie's blog! Yes, I am doing this. It seems to be the thing to do now. How fun!
I'll share the books I've been reading, reflections that have helped me through different aspects of my life. I hope that you will find something that you can use in your life and may also enjoy these books.
This morning as I start my Bible Study Beth starts off with talking about her mentor. That completely brought the tears. I have been trying SO hard to have joy and not to be so sad. I am choosing to press on. The scripture today is 2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought the…
Read MoreIn preparation for the study this fall, Entrusted, I am starting the 5th week and last week. Paul is passing the mantel to Timothy. He talks of two judgments to come. One is Romans 5:9 “All who trust in Jesus are justified by His blood and saved from the wrath to come.”. I am so…
Read More“But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love and endurance.” 2 Timothy 3:10 Some times I just need encouragement from God. Some days I wake up and I feel beaten up and bruised. There are days that I feel rejected and forgotten. Yes, these are things I don’t speak much of, so I…
Read MoreIN THE LAST DAYS is the title of today’s look in Beth Moore’s Entrusted. Did you know the “in the last days” started at the resurrection of Christ? And the Last Day will end when Christ returns. That is really a long time. But of course if you look at Creation and the beginning…

Read MoreThe verse today is 2 Timothy 2:19 “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, having this inscription: The Lord knows those who are His, and Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from unrighteousness.” That is just packed with truth. How can anyone really say that they are saved if they are…

Read MoreToday Beth talked about our calling. Just keep showing up and working hard at whatever He puts in front of us. In counseling, one of the things I see is that the lack of purpose. There is discouragement because of this lack. But Beth here says that your calling is whatever He puts in front…
Read MoreThe subject matter today is grace. Grace is unmerited favor. Grace is the Divine means by which God makes Himself everything we need to utterly abound (2 Cor. 9:8). It is the medicine that heals our bitterness (He. 12:15). It is substance. It is sufficiency. It is joy and felicity. And in 2 Timothy…
