And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. Le 26:8
I am the younger of two other sisters. My oldest sister is a very sporty girl, and because of this she talked me into playing softball throughout the summer season. Throughout the season we learned who the good players were and who the not so good players were. I was one of the not so good players.
In the middle of the season this year only ten of the fifteen players we have showed up, and as we all know you must have ten to play softball! Well it just so happened to be that the ten who showed were not our best players, and yet somehow we managed to play our best game of the season.
As I was sitting in right field waiting to help out the team God showed me how the Christian community is just like a softball team. When you work together and feed off of your fellow Christians spiritual knowledge, how much more easily does the Christian walk become.
We didn’t have our strongest players that night but we added all of the little good qualities we had together making a very strong team in return. Even though you might not be the strongest Christian around, when you join up with another Christian. The damage you can cause in the enemies areas will be more than if you were standing alone.

Welcome
This collection of daily devotionals is small and minute thoughts, poems, stories, experiences, and prayers in my life or my children's lives,maybe you could say just “scents of the Spirit” that God sent my way. These devotionals could be an accent or grammatical mark that is needed in your life. My prayer is that through reading these God will breathe on you his scent. and you will bud and bring forth limbs like a plant. I pray that through the daily reading and studying of His word you will come to know Jesus in a more intimate way. He is no respecter of persons and desires for you to know him in an intimate and profound way. It is you that he loved. It is you that he gave his life for. Take time daily to allow him to speak to you as he has spoken to me for so many years. How he grieves for your fellowship.

About Me
- Becky
- Macon, MS., United States
- I was born and raised in Mississippi and it’s where I live today with my husband of 26 years, Mike. The Lord blessed us with three beautiful children, Lesley, Sarah and Shannon. Accepting the role of caretaker, I moved into my parents’ home to care for my mother, who suffers with cancer, and my father, a great man of faith in Jesus Christ, who recently passed away after his long battle with Alzheimer’s. Loss is, unfortunately, no stranger to me. I was 29 when, my sister and best friend passed away from heart complications at the ripe age of 28. I am comforted knowing they are both reunited with our heavenly father in Heaven. Through my 51 years, I have experienced most of what the world has to offer and found my peace, joy and hope in Christ alone. I have worked as a software trainer for 12 years, but my true passion is loving people. My burden for souls is unquenchable. I maintain an unyielding stance against phariseeism. I am an outgoing, opinionated, intuitive, generous, passionate, forgiving free spirit, who loves the Lord above all else. While reading my blog it is my desire that you experience the Presence of Almighty God.
