Insight

Do you remember what you dreamt of becoming when you grew up? While I went to college to become a school teacher, I fell in love with words after finally learning to read in the third grade. Yes, I will forever be grateful to those saintly elementary school teachers: Mrs. Mikus, Mrs. Day, Mrs. King, Miss Roosa, and Mrs. Thomas, who had such patience, believing I would eventually catch on.

Fast-forward just a few years as I continue to develop my craft through this website. While I definitely need my treasured technical assistant, I am honored God is allowing me to use my writing to encourage others in their relationship with the Lord.

And while my website may currently seem to be little more than a blog filled with posts, I view it as the beginning stages of a ministry filled with dreams and visions, with plans to develop into so, so much more, all for the glory of God.

I so appreciate you, my dear readers, for not only reading what I write, but taking the time to comment. “Buy Me a Coffee” is simply another way to express your appreciation for the encouragement, insight, and wisdom I am blessed by God to share. So consider buying me a cup of coffee, or two or three, and become a supporter of something way bigger than all of us. I am already most grateful!

Hope you enjoyed reading this post and will consider sharing your thoughts, following me on social media and subscribing to my blog.

Blessings!

“Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, he taught me and said to me, ‘Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.’

Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many. I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble. Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life. Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil. Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on. For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble. For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.

My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil” Proverbs 4 (ESV).
