Read Genesis 25, Matthew 24, Esther 1, and Acts 24 in the She Reads Truth Bible plan. Excited to start the book of Esther. Did you know this is only book in Bible where God is not specifically mentioned? In Chapter 1, King Ahasuerus throws a week long banquet flowing with wine and food. At the end of the week he summons his wife, Queen Vashti to come see him. She refuses. We don’t know why she refused to show up. We can speculate all day long. … [Read more...]

I’ve been reflecting on my trip to Mexico last week the last couple of days. I’m now back to reality at home in Indiana with snow on the ground and in bed sick with the flu that I apparently caught while traveling home. I don’t take as many vacations as I used to. And for that reason I seem appreciate it more when I do get away. Life has had a way of slowing me down over the last few years. I’ve realized that I hid from a lot of pain by … [Read more...]

Sharing another message from my friend Lisa.

If you are seeking a daily Bible study and would like more information on either of these, please message me. They are both AMAZING and great when used together! Blessings, Stacey ~ iamalive Good morning world. Loved … [Read more...]

I accomplished success in a sense and I am a bit more comfortable financially than I have been for quite a while. But when I chose my word last year I didn't intend for it to mean financial success. My goal was to conquer new, unexpected things that came my way with confidence … [Read more...]

Sharing Lisa's message from this morning. This one really hits close to home. Blessings, Stacey ~ iamalive Read 1 Peter 5 & 1 John 1 today in #f260 plan. 1 Peter 5:6-7 was a lifeline I clung to in some very dark times. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Anxiety. Suffered from this for many years. It was to the point of … [Read more...]

I've never really figured out what it is about certain songs that have more meaning to me than others. It is either the particular song, the mood I am in when I hear it, or a combination of both. I heard a Hillsong United song from their new Christmas album this morning. The worship band at church performed it...it's called Seasons. It was beautiful. The lyrics just got to me. It was a message I needed to hear. It gave me hope. If you … [Read more...]
