going forward

August 1, 2021August 24, 2022 Ellen Lebsock

In July of 2021 I started a Journal entry entitled "The Plan Going Forward." The entries, collected from a variety of sources finally came together this morning when I found a poem that is, apparently, the last word. Here it is, as it was given to me. If you find something here that speaks to… Continue reading going forward

God’s Word is real

July 28, 2021August 2, 2021 Ellen Lebsock

How do you know that you’ve heard from God? My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 Hearing God is the key to faith, victory, peace, perseverance and prosperity in every area of your life. “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall… Continue reading God’s Word is real

the “I” syndrome

April 7, 2021April 28, 2021 Ellen Lebsock

I want to be the best Christian I can, so I strive to obey the law -- "But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t… Continue reading the “I” syndrome
