Joshua 8:18 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. Joshua had led the Jews across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. The next order of business was to conquer the indiginous peoples. It was a horrible business; God had commanded that they destroy not only their enemies, but also their property. Joshua 13:1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. There were many exhausting battles. Joshua and the Israelites quit before they had conquered the entire region. They only realized part of their dream and God's plan for His people. They were weary of fighting and just wanted some peace and quiet. Instead, they had to settle for the little they had gained, and a lifetime of strife and wars for what was rightfully theirs by the Father. We all lose heart from the fight, an...

John 2:1-11 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it .   And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it .   When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,   And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth...

1 Peter 1:24 (KJV) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: Since I’ve been spending the week with my mom in Derby, I’ve missed The Hubster, my home, my kitties and my own bed. Of course, the bed I sleep in during the week was my own bed for the first 19 years of my life. When The Hubster and I get in bed every night, our female cat, Mimi, gets in between us. She kneads the covers, noses under them if it’s cold, and proceeds to settle in. After much petting and sweet words, she begins the nightly purring. For a little cat, she has an extra-large purr motor. It lulls me to sleep. She doesn’t like to share…the bed or us. If another cat dares to jump up, Mimi bullies them off in a big hurry. She wants our undivided love and attention. I can understand her fear. Being the center of attention is nice, and we all want to be loved. Adoration from others is fleeting and fickle,...

Isaiah 55:9 (KJV) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. I once sat and waited for an outgoing flight from Chicago-O’Hare Airport to Wichita for 15 hours, on my way back from a post-radiation checkup. My chest was covered in blisters; I was bra-less and more than a little “relaxed” from painkillers. Flight delays seem interminable. Delay is not necessarily a negative thing. The word does seem to have a bad reputation. Instant gratification is just that, and gone in a flash. Demonstrating restraint is a great virtue to practice and it has a wonderful side benefit. Others will see what your labor and receive a blessing, or at the very least, food for thought. Give God the opportunity to work in your life, before you take the lead. Allow Him to accomplish the unknown and absolute best for you.  *** Female in Motion News Update: Big changes are coming this summer! New orig...
