I'm Margaret (AKA "Margarita"). I am a Christian, wife, mother of three, and grandmother (AKA "Mimi") of three. My husband Stace and I met many, many years ago. We have had our share of up and downs but I'm forever grateful that he is the man God blessed me with. I am happy to report we have been married for 25 years. I love this space on the internet. I create blog posts about faith, my Christian Walk, and our life on the farm. I have learned from the Word of the Lord. I hope this space will give you encouragement and inspiration in your walk with God. I speak on topics that make some breathe a sigh of relief and make others get pretty uncomfortable. I believe that there is power in transparency and that as children of God, we shouldn't hold anything back. Yes, even those raw and messy parts of our Life's Journey. Over the last several years, I have wrestled with my purpose, struggled with various sins, survived some severe injuries, and was diagnosed with severe illnesses that have stopped me in my tracks. Although these dark times have been tough, my walk with God and family has proven to be so fulfilling and sweet, regardless of any earthly circumstance. Christ is enough! And I want you to see that He is enough for you too. The Lord has put it on my heart to share His Word with you. I'm truly honored to meet you and hope you'll introduce yourself to me as well.

PRIESTS / LEVITICUS 21:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Leviticus 21:1

And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

PRIESTS / LEVITICUS 21:1

Leviticus 21 describes the qualifications and standards for those who were to serve as ministers for God’s people. They were to be examples of godliness both in their ceremonial duties and in their personal character and conduct. For this reason, God held them to a higher standard than was required for the rest of God’s covenant people.

MY LORD AND MY GOD / JOHN 20:28

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 20:28

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

MY LORD AND MY GOD / JOHN 20:28

The Scriptures (God’s written Word, both Old Testament and New Testament) point to and declare the fact that Jesus is God. This is the foundation of the Christian faith and is vitally important for our spiritual salvation. Without Christ being God and maintaining a perfect life as a man, He could not have provided the perfect and permanent atonement (“sin-covering” sacrifice) for the sins of the world. The deity (God-nature) of Jesus Christ is shown by the following:

  1. God’s Word gives Jesus names and titles reserved only for God: (a) God (John 20:28; Isaiah 9:6; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:8); (b) the Son of God (John 5:25; Matthew 16:16-17; 8:29; 27:40, 43; Mark 14:61-62; Luke 22:70); (c)the First and the Last (Revelation 1:17; 2:8; 22:13); (d) the Alpha and the Omega (Revelation 1:8; Revelation 22:11-13); (e) the Beginning and the End (Revelation 22:13). (f) the Holy One (Hosea 11:9; Acts 3:14); (g) the Lord (Luke 2:11; Acts 4:33; 9:17; 16:31); (h) Lord of all and Lord of glory (Psalms 24:8-10; Acts 10:36; 1 Corinthians 2:8).
  2. Christ receives worship as God (John 5:23; 13:13; 20:28; Matthew 14:33; Luke 5:8), and prayers are addressed to Him (Acts 7:59; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Corinthians 12:8-9).
  3. Christ is given credit for activities and roles belonging only to God: (a) creator of the universe (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:8, 10; Revelation 3:14); (b) sustainer of all things (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:13); (c)forgiver of sins (Mark 2:5, 10; Luke 7:48-50); (d) giver of resurrection life (John 5:28-29; 6:39-44); (e) judge of all people (John 5:21-23; Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 17:31; 2 Timothy 4:1); (f) giver of salvation (John 5:24-26; 6:47; 10:28; 17:2).
  4. The New Testament reveals how many Old Testament statements about the Lord God contain prophetic truths about Christ. Compare Psalms 23:1 with John 10:11; Psalms 102:24-27 with Hebrews 1:10-12; Isaiah 8:13-14 with 1 Peter 2:7-8; Jeremiah 17:10 with Revelation 2:23; Ezekiel 34:11-12 with Luke 19:10.
  5. The name of Jesus Christ is associated with that of God the Father (John 14:1-4; John 14:23; Matthew 28:19; Romans 1:7; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Colossians 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 3:11; James 1:1; Revelation 5:13; 7:10).
  6. Christ’s sinlessness and holiness (His complete purity, perfection, spiritual wholeness and separation from all evil) testify to His divinity – His qualities associated with being the true God (Luke 1:35; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15).
  7. Christ was proven and declared to be the Son of God by His miraculous resurrection and complete triumph over death (Romans 1:4; 2 Timothy 1:10).

These conclusive proofs that Christ is God mean that believers must act and respond toward Christ in exactly the same way they act toward God the Father. They must believe in Him, worship Him, pray to Him, serve Him and love Him (John 1:1; Mark 1:11).

DO NOT HOLD ON TO ME / JOHN 20:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 20:17

 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

DO NOT HOLD ON TO ME / JOHN 20:17

This verse probably means, “You can let go of me; I am not going back to my Father quite yet. You will still have the opportunity to see me again.” In the meantime, He has an important task for her; she would be the first to spread the wonderful news of the risen Christ.

JESUS APPEARS TO MARY / JOHN 20:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 20:16

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

JESUS APPEARS TO MARY / JOHN 20:16

The first person to whom Jesus appears after His resurrection is Mary. Although in the Gospels (the true accounts of Jesus’ life recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) she is mentioned only as a simple follower of Christ, Jesus appears first to her rather than to any of the disciples who would later become the outstanding leaders in the New Testament church. Throughout the ages, Jesus reveals His presence and love especially to those who are often overlooked or less important by the world’s standards. This is not to say that Jesus ever thought or treated women any less worthy than men, as did many people in the culture of Jesus’ time. In fact, women played a major role in Jesus’ ministry (Romans 8:1-3). Like Mary, many of Christ’s most faithful followers – who maintain deep love and devotion for the Lord – often go unnoticed by others inside and outside the church.

THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER / 1 PETER 4:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

1 Peter 4:18

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER / 1 PETER 4:18

“Ungodly” (Greek asebes) originally meant “not reverent”; it later came to mean “having an attitude of disrespect and contempt toward God” (Jude 1:4, where the same Greek word is used). “Sinner” (Greek hamartolos) comes from a word meaning to miss the mark, either by falling short or by going to one side or the other of the goal (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:2; Isaiah 53:6).

JUDGMENT TO BEGIN WITH THE FAMILY OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:17

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

JUDGMENT TO BEGIN WITH THE FAMILY OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:17

Christians must look inward to evaluate themselves – their devotion to God and His Word – before they attempt to make judgments about those who do not know Christ and naturally defy God. This principle applies as well to individual believers, who must always seek to settle their own issues with God and remove sin from their own lives before proposing to help others within the church solve their problems (Matthew 7:3-5; Luke 6:41-42). This practice of self-examination, humility and turning from any sin within the church is necessary if the church is to see any degree of spiritual revival among believers and any significant influence for Christ in their communities (2 Chronicles 7:14).

WELCOME FEBRUARY 2026

WELCOME FEBRUARY 2026

Welcome February as a powerful, underrated opportunity to reset, focusing on self-love, steady growth, and realistic, nurture relationships, and turn initial January goals into sustainable, consistent daily practices. It is the perfect month to replace “all-or-nothing” thinking with consistent, small, and nurturing steps.

FEBRUARY PRAYER

Lord, I thank You for the grace to see this beautiful month of February. I declare that this month will be filled with Your blessings, protection, and goodness for me and my loved ones. I ask for open doors, divine favor, and restoration on every matter that concerns me. May this month exceed my expectations! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

February is about turning the page with grace, honoring where you are, and steadily moving toward where you want to be.

THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:14

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:14

Those who suffer because of their loyalty to Christ are blessed (1 Peter 4:13; 1 Peter 3:14; Matthew 5:11-12) because the Holy Spirit’s presence and favor will rest on them in a special way as a sign of the greater glory that awaits them in heaven (Isaiah 11:1-2; John 1:29-34; Acts 6:9-15).

REJOICE THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN / 1 PETER 4:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV)) 1 Peter 4:13

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

REJOICE THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN / 1 PETER 4:13

It is a principle within God’s kingdom that suffering for Christ’s cause will increase the depth and strength of the believer’s joy in serving the Lord (Matthew 5:10-12; Acts 5:41; 16:25; Romans 5:3; Colossians 1:24; Hebrews 10:34). For this reason, we should not fear the prospect of suffering for Christ, nor should we envy those who seem to suffer little or not at all for the Lord.
