Keeper
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in the heart and soul of the keeper.
Meaning of keeper, a person who manages or looks after something or someone. “Keeper in the English-language Bible is one's master or supervisor, not simply one's caregiver.
There are approximately eighty-four verses that refer to the word keeper.
When I think of the word Keeper, I hear these words in my mind...to hold, to care, to cherish, to love, to hide in our hearts.
But do all “Keepers” have good intentions??? Or are they self-serving?? Are they truly caring? Do they put others' needs before their own??
Do we have something in our possession that requires a keeper? Do we feel we are in control and have no need for a keeper? master? Or supervisor? Do we have all the answers??
I can only speak from my own experience...
In looking back at my life when my children were small, I was given the job as their keeper... God loaned them to me for such a short while. They had no choice but to grow up and blaze their own path in our world. When they were small, they thought I had all the answers... They had complete trust. But as they grew their wings. They discovered I did not have all the answers...
I was held to our human standards ... and I did the best I could... To-date I am still a work in progress ... and I have discovered that I need a keeper...
Unfortunately, I was not aware earlier in my life that God had appointed one for me... Who knew?? But one day the Holy Spirit stopped me dead in my tracks. And God finally revealed to me who my appointed keeper has been. He told me even though I did not know Him for much of my life... He knew me from birth... He has never left my side... He has been watching me grow into the woman I had become... I thought I had a normal existence. No major setbacks. and I was my own keeper... boy was I wrong lol
It seemed my soul had been bound by this life. I had built walls to hide... I had become isolated and kept my feelings hidden deep inside... But my keeper came to rescue me. He came to love me, to care for me... He came to free my soul and make me whole...
As my heart opened to Him. I began to trust Him...and my soul could finally breathe... I began to recognize His soothing voice and feel His amazing LOVE in the most intimate places in my soul and I fell in love.
He is the most amazing soul I have ever grown to know... I have willingly given Him my heart to hold until I can look into His eyes... and tell Him how grateful I am for always being with me! For always loving me even when I did not know Him... I thank Our Heavenly Father for appointing me the best Keeper a girl could ever pray for... Thank goodness unlike me He has all the answers... And as His child, I just need to listen...
By the way, His name is Jesus. and I have promised Him that I would give Him great recommendations to anyone that is searching for a keeper!!!
He has decades of experience. He is one of the best at multitasking!! His wisdom blows the human mind... and His heart, His heart is my favorite part!!! He loves unconditionally and without boundaries... So, when looking for a keeper choose Him!!!
Always choose Him!!
He exceeds my expectations on a daily... He wows me... He can wow you too!! Invite Him to be your keeper you will not be disappointed!!!
“The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.”Psalm 121:5 KJV
“For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”2 Timothy 1:12 KJV

Remember Him
“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” — Paulo Coelho
What does it mean… to remember?
To remember is to bring to mind something we have known, experienced, or encountered.
But how can we truly remember someone… if we have never taken the time to know them?
We can study facts.
We can learn history.
But without relationship, what we remember becomes cold… distant… almost sterile.
But when love is involved remembering becomes something entirely different.
It carries emotion. It stirs the soul. It brings tears… and meaning.
We are entering a time to remember.
A moment in history that crushed hearts…
A moment when a Heavenly Man was unjustly slain,
for the “crime” of loving His children beyond human understanding.
Why did so many turn away?
Why did no one stop it?
When we celebrate Easter,
do we pause long enough to truly feel it?
Do we reflect on His suffering?
The humiliation… the pain… the depth of what He endured?
Or do we rush past the cross…
straight to the victory?
Do we feel even for a moment
the weight of what it cost?
Or have we grown so accustomed to stories of death and return
that we no longer recognize the magnitude of this one?
Because this was not a story.
This was love… poured out.
His victory over death is a miracle
a gift from our Heavenly Father.
May we remember Him not just in thought,
but in heart. May we humble ourselves before Him…
and honor the love that was poured out for us.
Because what He gives,
life, grace, forgiveness, eternity….
Remember Him.
It’s Him… it’s always Him.
He WOWs me.
I pray He WOWs you too.
“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.”
— Mark 14:22–24
And now… today…
Do we understand the depth of His love?
But the story does not end there…
It is only the beginning.
…He lives, is beyond anything we could ever deserve.
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

Integrity
“In the end, you should always do the right thing even if it's hard.- Nicholas Sparks...
In the Bible, integrity is defined as living with moral soundness, honesty, and uprightness—aligning one’s actions with one's values and with God’s truth. It’s more than outward behavior; it’s the inward condition of the heart. It’s about being truthful, keeping promises, taking responsibility, and living transparently—not for the world’s approval, but before the eyes of God, who sees and weighs the intentions behind every action.
We’ve all heard the saying, “Doing the right thing when no one is watching…”
But where does integrity begin? Is it something we’re born with? Or something we learn? Perhaps it’s both… or maybe it’s that still, small voice within—the divine whisper we recognize as the Holy Spirit.
When I look at the world today, I see widespread corruption, greed, and self-love.
Sometimes it’s blatant—larger than life. Other times, it’s so subtle it slips by unnoticed.
But I wonder:
What happens to the one whose actions stray from morally sound choices? Does that hidden darkness slowly begin to erode the lining of the soul? Like ripples in a stream, do those moments of compromised integrity reach beyond us, affecting the ones around us in ways we may never see?
Yes—our words matter. But our actions?
They matter even more.
Do your choices become a golden thread, weaving virtue and grace into the fabric of your heart? Or do they unravel, exposing the darkness you’ve tried to hide?
Every day, we are given a choice.
Will we live a life of value, one that mirrors Jesus?
Or will we trade away our integrity for the fleeting gain of thirty pieces of silver?
Integrity is a virtue of choice.
Don’t be a Judas.
Choose to do the right thing.
Choose to be like Jesus—loving, kind, and committed to a life of truth and eternal value.
It’s Him. It’s always Him.
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,
but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.”
— Proverbs 10:9 (NIV)

A quiet space to refresh your soul
I’ve given my website some long-needed TLC…
I’ve gently sprinkled each page with pieces of my journey...
and the love that found me when I didn’t even know I was lost.
This is a new page called Prayer…
A quiet space to refresh your soul,
a gentle offering… a gift of worship
You’re invited to pause, listen, and simply be in His presence
I pray He meets you there....

Passion
If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.” - T.D. Jakes
Meaning of passion — a strong and barely controllable emotion.
"A man of impetuous passion." Also, the suffering and death of Jesus.
There are approximately 46 verses that refer to the word passion in the KJV Bible.
When the word passion comes to mind on a spiritual plane, it becomes something far more beautiful than we can imagine. It is a heartfelt emotion that runs deeper than anything we have ever felt. It reaches into the very core of our existence and becomes the essence of who we are.
It gives us strength.
It gives us drive.
It moves us to accomplish things that would seem impossible under ordinary circumstances.
But I am not speaking of worldly passion.
The passion most people think of is a man-made imitation—it barely scratches the surface of what true, divine passion feels like.
When I feel this word in my soul, I feel strength…
I feel deep commitment…
And I feel a love greater than anything this world can offer.
I see the color red—rich, alive, and full of meaning.
Our senses awaken.
Our hearts open like the soft petals of a crimson rose.
And our souls begin to dance in a freedom we did not know we were missing.
In those intimate moments, when this love fills every part of us, it is as if a beautiful song begins to play…
And we are gently carried away to a place beyond this world.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
And yet, so often, we hide that part of ourselves.
We silence the soul out of fear—fear of what others may think or say.
But there is something greater calling us.
There is a spiritual heart—bigger than life itself—calling His children into a passionate love of the soul.
It whispers…
It draws…
It pulls us in with a magnetic force.
A love more powerful than the stars in the universe.
It’s our Creator.
It’s Him.
His power, His love, and His beauty can overwhelm the heart of any man, woman, or child.
And when His love takes root within us, something begins to change.
A light begins to shine from within.
A quiet radiance…
A reflection of Him.
This gift, this divine love, goes beyond human understanding.
And yet, it draws others in… soul to soul.
It cannot be contained.
It is a passionate love.
A love of the soul.
A love for Him.
Our Creator.
Our beautiful Elohim.
Our loving Yeshua.
And God’s very breath, the Holy Spirit.
Three in One.
Breathtaking… and not of this world.
Close your eyes…
Invite Him into your heart…
And you will be carried to that place.
That sacred place.
Your soul will begin to whisper His name.
And as your life takes on new meaning, you will feel it,
A completeness…
A peace…
A love that is almost impossible to explain.
And when words fail, the answer becomes simple…
Because of
Him.
It’s always Him.
“You, God, are my God; earnestly I seek You;
I thirst for You, my whole being longs for You,
in a dry and parched land where there is no water.”
— Psalm 63:1 (NIV)

Palm
"He barreled through barriers that usually stop us dead in our tracks–fear of ridicule, fear of suffering, abandonment by our closest companions." – Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio...
Today, we remember not only Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem in the past but also his entry into Jerusalem in the future.
Meaning of Palm as a (noun) a branch or leaf of the palm, anciently borne or worn as a symbol of victory or rejoicing. Palm (noun) is any symbol or token of superiority, success, or triumph; also, victory; triumph; supremacy.
There are approximately 12 verses that point to palm trees in the Bible.
How did I take the beauty of a palm tree swaying in the warm Florida breeze so for granted?
Do we skip through life without stopping and truly seeing the beauty, meaning, or symbolism behind many things in our lives...
Let’s take a closer look at the simple palm leaves. Come with me as we dive into the Book that seems to hold all the answers—only if we stop and dig for that hidden treasure with everything in our lives!!
What is the connection between these slender green palm leaves and the man who carries the scars because of greater love in the very palm of His hands??
It is written that on this day, we know that, on Palm Sunday, Jesus rode His victory ride into Jerusalem as our King. Not on a horse but on a donkey. He is good!! He knows how to wow the crowd... He did this to symbolize that although He is of royal blood, He is not a threat, but indeed, He comes in peace and love. This, indeed, was a day for believers to celebrate!! Just imagine! They laid palm leaves before Him as He made His way through His beloved crowd. They waved many Palm leaves in the air in great jubilation. And shouted His praise.
Many to this day still celebrate this victory parade. But was it too fast and too soon.??
Where were these partygoers when things got hot? When did things begin to unravel? Could they not rally the crowd when He needed us the most?
We must not look to the short-lived victory... But to the blood-stained palms of our King to truly understand the difference between Palm Sunday and the Passion of the Cross.
He needs us not just to be partygoers... He needs us to be strong when things get HOT!! As a King, He does not force us to accept or even to love Him. He comes to us meekly and humbly to passionately love us. But we must be willing to claim Him and this victory march. We must see the sacrifice made and beyond the cross. We must see His beauty, grace, and beautiful gift of life... Celebrate because He has arrived!!! He showed the world His LOVE for His children cannot be stopped!!! Arise, my beloved!!
It's Him, It’s Always Him
The King is here!!! ❤
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 KJV
“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”

Storm
"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:6
The meaning of Storm: a storm, a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow. A tumultuous reaction; an uproar or controversy:
Move angrily or forcefully in a specified direction:
The word "storm" appears in the Bible one hundred and nineteen times.
Storms can come when we least expect them. Many can come with complete knowledge, allowing you to prepare for the worst... When I think of storms, I think of Florida, where in my lifetime I have weathered many violent storms.
As I think about these storms, I have witnessed the devastation they can cause to life and property. In life, there are storms we face that rage within.
Let’s look at the storms of life that we feel in our soul… It starts with a distant rumble. We can see grey clouds moving swiftly across the sky… Lightning crashes and bolts of light furiously light the dark sky. The winds pick up speed… And we hear the sounds of the rumbling get closer and closer … Everything in its path is showing signs of being battered and worn…
The human soul will hide in fear, thinking that it will not be able to stand the violence felt. But when our soul retreats and goes deep. Something amazing happens, we find God's gift. He instilled a resilience and a hunger for life in each life He has created... as soon as we find Him there, these storms lose their strength and soon die. And our soul finds a strength we did not even realize existed. It’s at these times that we begin to understand the beauty of our Heavenly Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit.
He is our rock, our anchor, our Savior. Find Rest in Him when you face any storm life may throw your way. Get anchored and feel Him in your soul….
It's Him, it's always Him.
And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. Matthew 8:24

Somewhere
Somewhere,something incredible is waiting to be known. = Sharon Begley
The meaning of somewhere: some unspecified place.
The word somewhere is in the Bible 13 times.
This word is so vague… can somewhere be found? Can we find this special location on our trusty GPS?? Or is it just beyond the horizon??
There are times when I pray that I have been whisked away to a faraway land. And it's there I find love and a feeling of peace that can not be described…
Is this a spiritual location between heaven and earth? I know it is somewhere my soul yearns to go … There is a force there that has captured my heart… It is there that I can hear and feel a His sweet whisper in the wind …
When I am there the world as I know it grows dim.
I can feel a warm light source that fills my soul as He patiently teaches me of the beauty that abounds while I am in His presence …
Is it somewhere in another dimension of time and space? Or is this a glimpse of heaven?
Perhaps it is just a tease of the love that awaits?
My mind can not seem to rationalize where this somewhere is?
So it slowly surrenders to my heart and soul…
Was this “somewhere” in time written by my Creator long before I was even born?
How does He fill the hearts of so many? How does He provide such a unique meeting place for anyone that seeks Him… I hear His home has many rooms? Now I know why…
The somewhere is the GPS He placed in my heart… it’s personal, it’s intimate and it's a place that my heart longs for… It feels like home.
You see somewhere is not a physical location.
It’s Him. It will always be Him.
He is my somewhere, today, tomorrow until the end of time.
I call Him Elohim...
My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. John 14:2-3 NIV
But one has somewhere testified: What is man that You remember him, or the son of man that You care for him?
