Several years ago, God began to speak to me in moments of silence where I was seeking His voice and through dreams. I needed to know what His plan was for my life because it felt like I was running in circles and hitting roadblocks. Life was tough, and it didn't seem like all the things I was doing for God and the church were helping make my path become clearer.During a debilitating fight with cancer, I was at my weakest, and I still heard Him speaking to me. God never leaves us and is always wooing us to the call He has for us. During the editing process of this book, I was attacked two more times with different cancers. First, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and had to have part of my kidney removed. Then, during my recovery, after having an annual mammogram, I was told that I had breast cancer again and had to have a double mastectomy. These diagnoses have not deterred me because I know that God gave me "this day" as a stepping stone toward my "that day," and I will be obedient. Each new day is a step deeper into what He has for me. The devil seems to be trying to delay or stop this message from getting out, but all it has done is reiterated that through my storms and suffering God gets the glory! I have learned that in my weakness He shines more to those around me as I give Him honor for every blessing and continue to praise Him even through my sorrows. My faith grows because I know that as long as I am living, He is not done with me. It starts with saying, "This is the day I will begin to follow Christ with all of me no matter what comes my way." Over the past sixteen years, during my search for His calling, God has used dreams, people, and His still small voice to guide me through the process of writing this devotional.This book was written as God gave me revelation to the steps in finding my calling. I like to have things told to me straight and to the point. I feel God has given it to me in easy-to-understand, with-no-fluff guidelines. He knows what we need. I have heard from people of all ages desperate to have God give them an audible direction for their calling. We have to be in a place to hear Him, and I have outlined some of those for you.I had to walk through this devotional for my life to be able to finish it for you. Each chapter was another step for me to follow so I could see His direction clearly. There is a prayer for you and reflection questions with journaling space for your notes at the end of each section to help guide you on your journey with Christ. God has changed my heart, and I hope that you find your calling as you begin your "This day.""He has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace" (2 Timothy 1:9 NIV).
This book challenges how we corporately go before the LORD in praise and worship. It ignites thought about our responsibility as members of the body of CHRIST when we go to the place where we gather to worship. What is our position? Attitude? Posture? Heart? Motive? Intent?This book explains in easy-to-understand terms, what is praise and worship and what happens when we uniformly engage in it. This book is written so that even those that don't know or have never participated in praise and worship will understand what it is and that it is a necessary component in developing a relationship with GOD and connecting with HIS body.It will prompt all those that read this book to seek a more personal relationship with the LORD and value corporate worship. Pure worship is not trapped within the confines of denominationalism, religiosity, trends, gender, age, status, economics, ethnicity, culture, academic degrees or position, and status. "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the FATHER in spirit and in truth: for the FATHER seeketh such to worship HIM" (John 4:23).2
In this inspirational collection, Lisa Wright magnifies the benefits of worship. Through personal testimonies and revelations, she reveals how true worship is tested and prevails. Featuring the story of Hannah and other biblical scriptures, this book encourages the reader to experience a deeper relationship with God through worship that is real in the eyes of God.
Can you imagine what incredible things will happen when faith in God is carried out with purpose and action? Katy and Carlos Can can! The characters in this story demonstrate how the positive attitude and encouragement of one individual can spark belief and selfless teamwork in a whole community, allowing them all to succeed, to find happiness, and to even accomplish the seemingly impossible. The story of The Little Book of Cans alludes to the Bible story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt, a place of slavery, to the Promised Land, which is a place of abundance and joy. With faith and action, we also can make this same belief a reality.
This book is for those who have questions about something in the Bible that are yet to get answered; for those of you who would welcome something you can read in the Bible that would cause you to rethink what you believe now; for those of you who would like to believe that you also have something to contribute to what God is saying to His creation, even though you are not a scholar or theologian of religion; and for those of you who believe that God speaks directly and through His Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ, our Lord, who conveys this message to all of creation.

These poems have carried me thru a lifetime of love and memories. These poems reflect my childhood, young love, motherhood, and great, great loss. We should all remember sometimes ordinary uneventful days turn into extraordinary memories, in time. Memories are God's gift for the soul. Everyone has a story in every heart. I pray one or some of my poems find a place in your heart. Every heart is a place for love and happiness and is given from the giver of life to all of us. As I face my eighty-four years, I face the known and the unknown, I will face it all with love. Love is the answer, and love never fails. Praise God for his purpose, praise God for his plan, and praise God for his gift of everlasting love.

No matter how many people there are in the world, there is a different path for everyone! I want you to come with me! Please, it's important! Imagine if you will that it is possible for others to learn from you. Some paths may be similar while other can be almost unexplainable.Is it possible for your pet to teach you, protect you, and, I mean, even to the point of true values? Let's just suppose that there is a greater good out there. Let's say that if you open your heart, your mind, and perhaps your soul to the possibility that you find something that few have? Let's also say that just because something bad or maybe to your dislike happens to you that you don't just throw it out but learn and grow from it, like for example, a parent's discipline to a child? Compare this to that which is greater than you and to whom you could become?For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. (Luke 12:2)The question we will seek to understand is, Is it possible to have things like objects or animals or perhaps events placed on our path of life to help us or instruct us? Perhaps a collie dog that was more than a pet? The Word of God has ninety-nine Bible passages that reflect that he would raise up the stones to praise him if the people would not. Why not a collie dog? Why not the teachings, craftiness, and senses of such? Do you have a pet? Can you learn from your pet? Can you learn from your surroundings and those that cross your path for just a moment?There are so many different things that we just take for granted. We probably don't mean to, but life just happens. I have at many times taken the time to try a little harder to see things around me, to try to listen a little better, to have a calm temperament and the devotion that my dog, Lady, showed to me. She obviously didn't raise me, but I give her the credit for a lot of what I have become. Now I personally believe she was placed by God in my life and that she was a glory to God. Be kind to your pet!

What do we want for the next generation? What does our future hold? What can we do as adults to foster a positive future for our kids? Most parents, grandparents, teachers, and ministers I talk to want to equip the next generation with the necessary tools to be difference makers in their world, but they don't know how to. It feels as if we are fighting against a cultural wave that is making it harder and harder to lead our kids to love God and make a difference. So what do we do?This book takes a deep look into the culture of Generation Z and Generation Alpha. The intent is to create an understanding of how to raise a generation of contributors to the kingdom and how to remove the barriers that stand in our way. We all know that these emerging generations are welcoming us into a new digital frontier full of consumption, technology, and entertainment that is more focused on happiness than contribution. Our kids are also living in a world of skepticism about truth and faith. We will unpack these faith questions and explore the tensions that exist between older and younger generations.Our kids are the future of our churches, cities, states, and country. It is critical that we begin to acknowledge that as adults, we must be intentional in understanding the culture our kids live in and be humble in our approaches to developing them as faithful servants and successful adults. So how do we raise contributors? Let's begin to discuss practical ways to raise kids who are image bearers and difference makers. I call these kids contributors.
