For the last several weeks, I keep seeing and hearing the word, “faithful.”

It began when I read this scripture in Luke at the end of November, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities.”

As soon as I read it, I closed my bible and went to the Lord in prayer,

“Lord, help me to be faithful in the small things. The little things that may not seem like a big deal are a big deal to YOU. Help me in this, Father.”

Honestly, I did not have anything specific that I was praying for in the little things, but I wanted to be aware and recognize any area that I was not being faithful.

Good morning! I hope all of you had the most wonderful Christmas with your family and friends.

As we approach a brand new year, 2024, I want to challenge you.

Get into God’s Word. Every single day.

On January 1 ,2012, this blog began, formerly called “Shine Girls”.

I was on a quest to read my Bible and I needed some accountability partners.

Nervously, I sent out an email to a handful of friends asking them if they would like to read the Bible with me.

Almost everyone I reached out to said YES.

Yesterday afternoon, my daughter and I visited our local Verizon store.

Her phone decided to completely go bananas and is not working. Yay. Not the best thing to happen at Christmas.

I mean, the phone store is always crowded, then add in the week of Christmas…ugh.

We walked in and no one even looked at us. Hmm. Ok. I guess we will just wait until someone can help us.

There were people everywhere.

We waited for about 10 minutes, still no one.
