God is Always Speaking

Celebrating Recovery
Dec 30, 2023 by Sallie Dawkins
Ten years ago, a Celebrate Recovery program provided essential tools and accountability for overcoming food addictions and growing in faith. Many Americans will vow to lose weight at the beginning of the new year. I believe God is more concerned with our identity than He is with the numbers on a scale. Still, our bodies are temples inhabited by God’s Spirit. Therefore, starting the new year refreshing our healthful intentions could be a good idea.

Sep 06, 2023 by Sallie Dawkins
My first book published achieved Amazon Best Seller status, likely due to interest generated from multiple paid ads. My book launch plan for The Complete Beginner's Guide to Self-Pubishing for Christians included only two paid ads. Would that be enough to boost it to Best Seller status?

Benefits of Journaling with God
Aug 15, 2023 by Sallie Dawkins
Journaling with God is not only beneficial for mental and emotional well-being but also has spiritual advantages.

It is a form of prayer that allows for honest communication and the opportunity to hear God's voice clearly. Journaling helps cultivate an attitude of gratitude by recording blessings and moments of grace, shifting our focus towards God's goodness.

PBJs with Jesus
Jan 14, 2023 by Sallie Dawkins
A friend recently commented that grilled cheese sandwiches are some of her favorites. I responded that I feel the same way about PBJs. A litte while later, I dreamed that Jesus was in my kitchen making PBJs. In Psalm 23:5 (WEB) we read, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over." Perhaps PERCEPTION is key to contentment.

It's an important part of the testimony I share in You Can Know the Heart of God for Your Life.
