Trading Poverty for Wealth…One Verse at a Time

by Jacque Watkins

The morning sun gleamed through the wood shutters as I settled myself into my regular spot on the couch, the spot I’ve grown familiar with…the place where we meet…where I read and I talk, and listen and ponder and grow. This, a daily privilege I enjoy, just me alone with Him, in this place…the place […]

by Jacque Watkins

Well, I am continuing to read the Bible in 90 days, with this inspiring group of people, reading through this amazing chronological plan, and today…day #70, and the conclusion of the Old Testament…and I am continuing to learn so much! From the 4th week, to the 8th week, and now into the 11th week…what a journey […]

Bible in 90 Days {Week 8}

What an amazing time I continue to have reading the Bible in 90 days! Today…day #51, and as I’m continuing to read I am learning so much! There is so much to absorb and learn in God’s Word, and yet reading at this pace brings it together in a unique and awesome way!

Removing the Remnants

by Jacque Watkins

On a hot June day, with a silent and grumbling heart, I pulled into the parking lot, the heat of the day pressing down and unrelenting no matter my task at hand. Me here to serve, and my heart not really here. And the project before me…this abandoned lot…ridden with weeds and needing restoration, a need for the weeds […]

Broken Pieces Made Whole

by Jacque Watkins

I’ve been broken. And guilty. And hurting. And alone. I’ve chosen poorly, and walked through the pain of the aftermath. And the road was steep and high and long. And as my heart’s shattered pieces were scattered and torn…parts sharp with regret and sorrow for sin; It was the surrender of those pieces that began […]

Bible in 90 Days {Week 4}

by Jacque Watkins

What an amazing time I’m having reading the Bible in 90 days! I have read the entire Bible before, but never at this pace, and the story is so captivating and flying right by! I am choosing to read a chronological Bible for this challenge, and am enjoying how I am reading the events in the historical […]

Cease Striving and KNOW that He is God

by Jacque Watkins

I’m joining Lisa-Jo, over at one of my favorite sites  today, to take five minutes and just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. The challenge is to write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing, with the prompt she gives. And today, her prompt:   Still….  Go!   […]

Daily Words

by Jacque Watkins

I have gone to church all my life, and have been familiar with the Bible. I have attended, participated, worked, and served at church. I graduated from a private Christian University while attending chapel services 3 times each week, and on Sundays, I served at church in the morning and in the evening, and went on several missions […]
