I can't. ... HE can. ... I think I will let Him....

The pressures of everyday life can become overwhelming. 

Especially when we fall under the worldly illusion that we must do it all alone, by ourselves and perfectly. 

Friends, please know that you are never, ever, alone! 

The Holy Spirit lives in our hearts and will see us through times of stress and uncertainty. 

Have you tried allowing God to carry those heavy burdens?..

Check your experience...

"I can't. ... HE CAN. ... I think I will let HIM." Big Book Steps 1, 2,& 3 

Lord remind our hearts in times of stress and heaviness that You are with us and ready to shoulder the load, AMEN. 

Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Actions bring results … 

Perhaps you are free of this, or have no issues with it, but it’s an age-old twist on our thinking that causes a lot of us to become resentful, jealous, envious, or even bitter. 


We want people to judge us by our intentions while we choose to judge others by their actions. 

It’s another condition of being human. 

The solution is pretty simple. 

We must own this twist of thinking and correct it through our own actions and efforts and not our intentions. 

Think about it, are we able to see the results of others or our own intentions? 

I INTENDED to lose weight…

I INTENDED to get my college degree… 

I INTENDED to be a better husband and father… 

 It carries no lasting effects. 

Only actions on our part brings the desired and needed results. … 

Check your experience. … 

“It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels.” Big Book pg. 85 

Lord let us put actions behind our efforts to be better people, seeking Your will and not our own, AMEN.

"Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.” 1 John 3:18 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

If we just had our own “Easy” button… 

Remember those Staples commercials with the “Easy” button? 

Wouldn’t it be great if we all had one of those? 

It seems life would be so much more manageable if whatever we needed changed, fixed, or done could be handled by just pressing the Easy button. 

Unfortunately, that is not how it works, unless you are a toddler! 

We have to put in effort, willingness, and old-fashioned work in order to survive and grow. 

This is a spiritual principle and sometimes we forget this. 




The Bible has a few examples where Jesus asks impaired and sick folks if they want to be well. 

He immediately heals them when they say yes, but like Paul Harvey used to share, there is always the “rest of the story” that we need to know in order to be able to understand the healings. 

These folks demonstrated faith, hope, and willingness long before Jesus came to heal them. 

This is why he healed them because he knew that they had put in the hard work and the HEART work ahead of time to prepare them to receive His healing. 


How’s that working out for you? 


 Are you just sitting on the sideline wishing and waiting for Jesus to fix you or your situation or are you doing something daily to demonstrate your faith by providing the needed willingness and effort to show you are doing your part?.. 


Check your experience… 


“Yet they got well.” Big Book pg 110 

Lord, let us provide action daily to show our willingness to change and grow closer to You and Your will for us, AMEN. 

“Would you like to get well?” John 5:6 


Have a blessed day Y’all! 


Join us in prayer and with your financial support as we tackle the challenge of helping  folks escape homelessness and helplessness.
