I often find myself relating to Jesus, who would retreat in a boat to find solitude away from the crowds. Living on a sailboat provides me with plenty of time for deep reflection and personal conversations with my Creator. It’s in these moments of quiet that I hear His voice most clearly, and I do my best to share the insights, thoughts, and revelations from these sacred conversations with you here in this corner of our blog.
Lord, You are all I need!! Let me seek You first, my Father, let me focus all of me on You, that when You examine my heart You will find the desires of my heart to be in line with the desires of Your heart! That I will stand faithful to only you. Lord Jesus, […]
Dear Lord, we are bombarded with opinions from strangers and from friends. Help us Lord to focus on your opinion of who we are. Remind us daily that true Prophesy comes only from You my Father, and not from man. Thank you for true men and women of God who serve you in truth and
About 28 years ago I sat with my daughter holding her close to my chest, as she fell asleep. I could hear how her heartbeats started beating with mine, everything around us disappeared as I listened to this little heart in this tiny body, beating in rhythm to mine. My daughter, my flesh and blood.

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing
Since we started sailing, we have realized how much faith we have in our anchor. To keep our boat in the position it needs to be in. This shows how much we must depend on our Father. God knew that our position would sometimes drag us down, we would be distracted by winds, coming from
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 We always hope for the material things when we bring this verse before God. Once your heart is right before God your will walks in the will of God, and the desires you thought
for it is written,“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess[a] to God.” Romans 14:11 Why wait till God brings you to your knees. Find Him while He can still be found.
“Into thine hand, I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.” Psalm 31:5 When David’s life was in danger and he was facing his enemies, he wrote these words as an expression of his trust in God. He looked to God as the rock he would stand on He relied

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8. David said in Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” I want to be able to continue saying this at the end of
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 1 John 3:1 And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. Your value lies in who you belong to. We are new creations loved
When David had to fight Goliath he stepped onto the battlefield alone. Everyone around him was gripped with fear at the giant that stood before them. Sometimes we will fight our battles on our own. We will need to rise above the fear that is in us, and combat the fight that is before us.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 We were created to live an eternal life with God. Grace saved us so that we could choose life. The world might hurt us, and we
I can understand why the word says we have to become like little children. Every time I look at our grandchildren. I see that undeserved love, the love that they give without expectation. I pray that I may give that love, the love that can love and never want anything in return. Lord help me

I think this is one of the things I hear a lot in couples counseling… She/He never forgets what I did wrong and they are always throwing it back in my face. If we allow God to, He can and is able and willing to heal these hurts if we just give it to Him.
Now this is a love tap girls, isn’t God so amazing. Sometimes when we go to battle we return home, battled, bruised, and defeated. BUT God is saying NO…Return Home with your battle cry, shake your booty girls, and do your victory dance people. Today we will not return defeated we will return in victory

I love that we can know that this too shall pass. I hate the saying “every cloud has a silver lining”, It is the worst thing to say to anyone when they are going through the storms of life especially because it’s so easy to say when you are looking down from the mountaintop, while

My go-to verse is Hebrews 6:19. When life gets hard I have to remind myself of the hope we have in Jesus. This is my hope story.
As wives and mothers, we have a force within us that can protect our humans ferociously. I don’t know about you moms but touch my kids, and you will see the gangster in me… <grin> We sometimes forget while we are praying and giving so much of ourselves to give that little extra to the

I cling to you; your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:8 We cannot afford to live life without clinging to God. When I read this verse I realize that if we don’t cling to God we cant stay standing. The world can knock you down and then beat you… It can leave you flat on
