Have you ever felt unlovable? Have you ever felt useless? Do you feel burdened by fear and consumed with thoughts of insecurity? Friends, this is not the quality of life God intended for you to live. The Creator of the universe fashioned you with love and purpose. He formed you out of nothingness and instilled you with spiritual gifts and divine potential to bring His light into the world. You are loved so deeply, God sacrificed His Son to save you. You are so important, God entrusted you to be a steward of His Son's own glorious attributes. You have been called to freedom. You hold within your heart the power that raised Christ from the grave, to cast out the enemy's deceptions that tell you that you are worthless. The God of heaven pursues your heart because that is what He sees when He looks at you. He sees purity when you see filthiness. God sees purpose where you feel pain. God says you are worthy of love and complete in Christ when you say you are a failure and not good enough. Treasured will reveal to you the beauty your Creator sees when He sets His eyes on you. As you read, you will be encouraged to set your eyes on His truth. Like a diamond in a dark cave, you radiate with unfathomable value in this dark world. Like a rare gem, you are desirable in the eyes of your Maker. As you read each section, indulge in the precious knowledge you will gain as you come to understand that you were created to shine. Your sufferings might have left you feeling tattered, torn, and unusable, but this devotional serves to uncover the truth that you are more than what society and your past dictates. You are precious, purposeful, and you are treasured!

This book defies categorization. Although written from Catholic perspective, these stories of God showing up are eminently readable by anyone of any faith, including those on the fence about God. Her life story is her God story, but to call it purely a memoir or an autobiography would be inaccurate. It is too remarkable. In the end, the book is about God and His presence in a life and what can happen when a soul cooperates. The stories are engaging--often intensely personal--drawing souls into the moment and opening windows for God's light to shine in, illuminating a personal story within the reader (perhaps long forgotten) and instigating a new conversation with God.

: Commentary on GalatiansNo one can be considered truly educated if they have not made a serious study of the Bible. The Bible is the world's standard for truth. Although the Bible does not answer every possible question about life and the world around us, it always guides us in the right direction to find the truth if we truly want it.The book of Galatians was written for people who somehow thought that if they just worked hard enough, God would have to bless them. The writer makes it clear in verse after verse that salvation is solely the work of God in saving the sinner. There is simply no work that can earn our salvation.This commentary on the book of Galatians is written for the sinner who wants to know the truth. It is written for the Christian who wants to know more about what the Bible actually says and who wants to grow in his/her understanding of what the text stands for.The Greek words are first presented with the various renderings and then some commentary to help the reader better understand what the words actually mean.It is the hope of the author that the reader will undertake a serious study of all of the Bible, not just what is covered in this short text. Our prayer is that you will find the study very rewarding.

This writing started out as a simple desire to write a person's story of her life experiences based on her testimony. My inspiration evolved into a testimonial for God--seeing how God would move on our behalf to orchestrate events in our lives, working through the people we know or don't know to bring those events to pass.Orchestration of miracles is a specialty of God's. He's been doing it since the beginning. He orchestrated us having a Savior to bring to us salvation and eternal life through our faith in Him, our Lord Jesus Christ. I've learned that God has already orchestrated many blessings, directions, or actions we're to take in our lives in the heavenly realm that only need to be brought to the natural. We bring things to the natural by faith through prayer, through our taking action on our dreams, and through obeying what we know God has spoken to us to do, and especially if it is on our hearts to do something for someone else.So what is my opinion about cremation after my experience? I was reminded that God is the greatest Orchestrator of all time. Only He could have arranged the events that I have documented in this writing.

The Civil War is the greatest tragedy ever experienced by our nation. The repercussions of the war are still alive today, almost 160 years after the final shots were fired in April 1865. Many books have been written on the battles, the campaigns, and strategic troop movements. 1,417 Days in Rebellion: A History of the 19th Georgia Regiment provides a view of the war from one regiment.Follow the 19th Georgia from formation and training at Big Shanty, now Kennesaw, Georgia, to the final surrender near Durham Station, North Carolina. From as far north as Sharpsburg, Maryland, to the sandy soil of north central Florida, the 19th Georgia was in every major battle fought by the Army of Northern Virginia, except Gettysburg, Spotsylvania, and The Wilderness.

It has been written that anyone who attempts to write a Bible story is forced to explore his or her motives when face with the importance and weight that biblical messages carry.The goal of The Messengers Speak is to provide viewers with profound biblical stories from the sixty-six books of the Holy Bible that can be presented through theatrical fellowship. These stories unfold with the characters in the bible being portrayed by an array of constantly revolving cast (messengers) consisting of individuals whose sole purpose is to deliver God's faith-based life-changing messages.Introducing the Bible in the form of stories is not a new idea. When an adult wants to impact important information to a child, it is often best related in a story because it is more easily understood and enjoyed. The Messengers Speak is designed to deliver inspiring earthly stories that deliver heavenly messages and bring God's Holy Word to life.The Messengers Speak uses the text from the Holy Bible. / It has been designed, written, formatted, and presented in the form of a movie script/play and is not intended to replace the reading of the original scriptures.Although it is not totally possible to translate all sixty-six books of the Bible into a script/play, but through years of study, the use of various authorized Bible versions and an attempt to make the language simpler enough without deviating from the text nor sacrificing the dignity of God's message, The Messengers Speak is designed to be another innovated way to deliver God's Word.God knows we can't do without one another. Some of the most important words used throughout the Bible are fellowship, partnership, communion, participation, and "giving to one another." God uses all kinds of tools and people to deliver His message to the world, The Messengers Speak, purpose and desire is to be one of God's successful tools.

This is not your typical book. I am not here to preach or give you a cliché perspective on life. We have heard it all.

Through these stories, I have been able to show my family and friends a different perspective on how to operate in life through God's help.It includes some of my stories that are my daughters' favorites for me to tell. They are from middle school, high school, college, and adulthood. The goal is to display how He has turned bad situations around for the good, even "okay" situations into better ones, in a relatable manner that people can connect to.I have seen how God can show up in our everyday lives, even when you least expect it. Through this book and all my stories, I want to show the sovereignty of God's love and greatness in our day-to-day lives-some good, some funny, and some quite unique.
