Directions
When I was a little girl and started visiting my father in the US, he’d pick me up at JFK airport in New York, and it was such a daunting airport because of its size. As we would drive out to exit I’d ask him the same question: ‘Dad, how did you know how to […]
Power of love
*Spoiler alert for Disney’s ‘Moana’* I watched this animation a few weeks ago at the request of my daughter. When we got close to the end, what I saw was a woman who had been hurt. She’d had her “heart” stolen and she was one angry being, to the point of becoming a raging, volcanic […]
Trust God for the outcome
Last week, I asked God to go back to waking me up with thoughts to share. While I’ve been coming up with topics over the last few months, I’ve missed the early, wee hours of the morning where the world was completely still. Last night, yet again, I prayed for a topic to share. I […]
Learn to walk away
I’m learning that I don’t need to attend every negative party I’m invited to. Actually, I’m learning that I don’t even like these type of ‘parties’ anymore. By ‘party’ I mean, discussion. I’m learning that if it’s not helping to make me a better person, its best that I...
Are you worrying?
Over the last 24 hours, I’ve come across three very different devotions dealing with worrying. Had I received the first one when it was sent on Friday, I might have read it and not given much thought to it, but it somehow had gotten stuck in my work spam folder which meant I didn’t see […]
Draw near to God
Some time ago I was approached to teach our youth sabbath school class, I told the person I would think about it. I had kind of already mentally decided that I couldn’t for various reasons, but I said I would think about it. I thought about it briefly then dismissed the idea. My daughter was […]
You are enough
I prefer to stay with the safe, non-personal topics, but every now and again, I’m impressed to share my flaws and struggles with you. I would have preferred to tell you how I love the changing of the seasons, and how I love spring, but I guess that’s not the thought I am to share […]
God’s outfit or mine?
I’ve struggled with what to share over the last few days, not because I didn’t have a topic, but because it seemed as I had a few but none of the thoughts were fully coming together. This morning as my daughter and I were getting ready to go out, I took out an outfit that […]
What is your perceived fear?
Years ago as I was driving over a major bridge, I had a full blown panic attack. It had started days before as I was driving on some winding highways, but that day it escalated into a full panic attack while I was alone and going down the other side of the bridge. It has […]
NO
I love Fridays! I love the moment when I walk out of the office, knowing that I’m done for the week, and looking forward to the time I get to spend with my daughter. This particular Friday, the weather had finally warmed up, melting some of the snow and the sun was high in the […]
