Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of the Father which is in heaven: for he maketh the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. So…just a little more on why ‘The Hits’ keep coming. According to Matthew 5:45 quoted above, bad things happen alike to the saved and unsaved. And on the flip side, good things (blessings) happen alike to the same two groups! Sometimes…..
I recently picked this journal up. On the front in gold letters it says, ‘Dare to Begin’. Can I dare to begin? Can I tell my story? Can I face it? if you read it, will you believe it? If I tell you the incredible memories I have, will you think I’m crazy? Or will you see something in my life you can relate to? I want you to know that for forty-one years I was the victim of a…..
I would like to introduce you to Stella, an exceptionally beautiful lady and special friend! ‘Stella’ is a pseudonym to protect her identity! Aside from her fictitious name, her story is factual! Necessarily vague at times, but true! A Christian lady, wife, mother, and then grandmother, her story is fairy-tale, living the dream~ with an ugly and sinister flip-side. Though painful for her to relive many of the memories, she does it in hopes of helping others who are trapped…..
A few thoughts about gifts and abilities~ James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. If you will permit me (if you won’t, there’s a comment section), I will address the subject of gifts that we may possess as Christians! It may seem some people have a lot more than we do! All of the money, all the looks,…..
Sometimes, ‘Hits Keep Coming’ due to the actions of others in our lives! Sometimes it’s someone so major that we can’t just move on and avoid them! Perhaps it was an abuser! We may still be under their control, or the mind control won’t go away! Maybe it was a parent who wasn’t all they should have been and continue to leave voids and disappointments! We can’t change them, what was, what is, and the lingering hurt! When we’re victims…..
When God is chastening us, we know it! No one needs to say, “God’s giving you a spanking!” (Why are they so gleeful?) ‘They’ may make us want us to bow up and resist! But we need to tune ‘them’ out and focus on our issues and how much love and tenderness God uses to guide us back onto the pathway of happiness and usefulness for Him! Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and…..
The ‘Hits’ keep coming as an inevitability in an imperfect world populated with flawed people! Remember, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth! Beautiful and orderly, he placed Adam and Eve into it! It was all ‘Very Good’! We’re not told how long that lasted, but then Eve succumbed to Satan’s temptation and Adam transgressed! And that’s why ‘The Hits Keep Coming!’ Sin and sorrow entered~ So, until our feet touch heaven’s shore, we can expect trials…..
The hits keep coming because: Satan is real, powerful, and a sworn enemy of God! (Even if you are not a born-again child of God, the devil hates you; the reason why is because God loves you.) He is an enemy of all that is good! It’s important to recognize the enemy! Don’t blindly assume you don’t have any! He is real, vicious, violent; without love, mercy, or any redeeming social qualities! Evil at its incomprehensible worst! He is so…..
Hi! Welcome to my introductory blog! My name is Paula Rae Wallace and I’m a pastor’s wife, mom, and grandmother! Although, I have many interests I enjoy, my passions are writing (through which I try to introduce my readers to their glorious inheritance in Christ Jesus), and travel (which takes my characters to beautiful and exciting destinations)! My most recent book is entitled, CONSPIRACY! The overriding question: Is there a conspiracy by any one agency to thwart David and Mallory…..
