Entertaining Angels Unaware
This year for my big birthday, I decided to do a big trip. As I love traveling and have been to many places in the Caribbean, I decided this trip should be a little different. I decided on a trip to Europe. If you know me and directions, I’m excellent at getting to my ‘almost […]
Divine Protection
This week I was in a near accident. I left the house to take my daughter to camp. I got caught by the red light and stopped, not realizing that the tractor trailer ahead of me was not moving because he was stuck. When the light changed to red, he started using the opportunity to […]
The battle plan that makes no sense
Have you ever been given instructions for a battle that seems to make no sense? Rest assured that God has a plan, and even though it may seem not to make sense to you, God sees the beginning from the end. Let’s use a few examples from the Bible: One of the more well known […]
Listen… then act!
Have you ever had that sense that you should or shouldn’t do something? As I was having lunch in my office, I finished eating and decided for ease, to put the plate on the ground next to me. The contents held the green grease of the vegetables I had been eating. I instantly saw in […]
What is your life jacket?
My daughter and I love the water. I started her in swimming lessons earlier in the year because I’m a big believer in water safety and teaching kids to swim at an early age. My mom had done the same for me. On a recent trip, a few months after her swimming classes had started, […]

I’ve been trying to revamp my quiet time. I felt as if it had become more of a routine than me actually being an active participant. One of the ways I did this, was I purchased a journal that had been specific to the season I was in. It shared a verse, encouraged you to […]
My rose bush
When I moved into this new home, I started planting. It was something that I never had any interest in before – but seemed like a good idea in my new life. My dad brought over two Rose plants. They both looked like some sticks with thorns – nothing else. A few months later, one […]
Better in the deep
To celebrate America’s 4th of July, my family and friends chose a beach morning. When we got there, the waters were relatively calm, but as the sun was not fully out yet, the water was freezing. We walked about a mile on the shoreline, both for the exercise and the fun of it. By late […]
Rushing ahead
Have you ever just wanted to rush what God is doing in your life? That’s the place I’m finding myself lately. I’m being given specific instructions for this season. The instructions are actually still coming, but I’m asking God what’s next. It’s quite funny as I observe my brain and the conversations I’m having with […]
Unexpected blessings
I think you guys know by now that I don’t like sharing the intimate details of what happens to me. I believe it opens me up to being judged. But now I’m also realizing that it opens me up to being loved on and cared for by others. Sometimes we need to show our vulnerabilities […]
