We are each given a ribbon of time. Each of these ribbons are very different…

Some are long and strong and others maybe more fragile and thin.

And then some get cut short.

Do any of us really know how much time we have been allotted?

Does this worry you?

Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, 
for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (NIV)

Before I understood my purpose…It use to worry me…
I thought I had to do everything on my own merit and strength…
but not any more.

Proverbs 19:21, “You can make many plans,
 but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” (NLT)

It really is the best! That is to love God and receive His love…

Really what could be better?

Ah…I heard that…you think you know what is better…

But have you ever really tried His love?

You may not believe in Him…but here is the good news…

He believes in you!

Isaiah 41:10,
 “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you;


don’t be distressed, for I am your God.


I give you strength, I give you help,


I support you with my victorious right hand.” (CJB) 

Why not grab a hold of His outstretched hand…you will not regret it!

The following is “Part 4” and the last of an interview that I did last summer on the
 "The Barb Marshall Show" with Love your Life Ministries.

 I pray that you will start to reach out for His love. 

He is there for you.

Do you ever ask those soul-searching questions?

You know the ones that are innate to your very being.

Be honest we all have asked,

“Who am I”?

“Why am I here?” 

"What is the meaning of Life?"

"What is death all about?" 


We seek to know the truth…yet for some of us we are not willing to meet the truth. 

Twenty-five years ago I asked myself those questions…and am I ever grateful I asked!

The following is “Part 3” of an interview that I did last summer on the "The Barb Marshall Show"
 with Love your Life Ministries.
 I pray that you too will question why you are here. I know the One who holds the keys to unlock the doors; 
He is there for you and will give the answers to the sincere inquirer.

Why are we here?
Revelation 4:11, “Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. For you created all things, and by your will they were given existence and life.” (GNT)

What is the meaning of Life?
John 11:25-26, “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will live, even though they die; 26 and those who live and believe in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (GNT)

What is death all about?

Regarding life and Death experiences...

What is of importance to you?
To me one of the most valuable aspects of this life is my time.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 
“Everything on earth
 has its own time
 and its own season. 
There is a time 
for birth and death,
 
planting and reaping, 
for killing and healing,
 
destroying and building, 
for crying and laughing,
 
weeping and dancing, 
for throwing stones 
and gathering stones,
 
embracing and parting. 
There is a time 
for finding and losing,
 
keeping and giving, 
for tearing and sewing,
 
listening and speaking.
 There is also a time 
for love and hate,
 
for war and peace.” (CEV)

So what are you doing with the time that God has given you?

Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to use wisely
 all the time we have.” (CEV)

Do you recognize, He who gives you life?

Job 33:4, “The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” (NIV)

Why not take a deep breath…inhale the precious gift of life…
Recognize, Rest and Restore yourself in the truth of God’s love…

Life is worth the Living!

Isaiah 42:5-8, “God, the Lord, created the heavens and stretched them out. 
He created the earth and everything in it. 
He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth.” (NLT)

The following is “Part 2”of an interview that I did last summer on the "The Barb Marshall Show" with Love your Life Ministries. I hope you enjoy a snap shot of my heart and how I have been carefully shaped and molded by the Lord.

Life is definitely worth the living!
Life is precious...not what is convenient for the moment.

Psalm 139:13-16, You created every part of me;
    you put me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because you are to be feared;
    all you do is strange and wonderful.
    I know it with all my heart.
 When my bones were being formed,
    carefully put together in my mother's womb,
when I was growing there in secret,
    you knew that I was there--
you saw me before I was born.
The days allotted to me
    had all been recorded in your book,
    before any of them ever began." (GNT)

Although sometimes...
how we view our world can greatly influence
the decisions we make or how we go about the daily process of living. 

Psalm 90:12, Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom." (NLT)

The things that happen to you...around you...all can pivot your world one way or the other.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9, We often suffer, but we are never crushed. 
Even when we don’t know what to do,
 we never give up. In times of trouble, God is with us, 
and when we are knocked down, 
we get up again. (CEV)
