God prepares us
Don’t you just love when God gives you a hint of what’s to come? I’m finding that the Holy Spirit does that through passages of scripture that I come across. My most recent experience was with providing guidance to me, before the situation even arose. A few days ago, I had a dream about a […]
Love
Yesterday the world celebrated love for Valentine’s Day. I knew what I had to look forward to from the day before, a hand made card from my 4 year old, but because of her excitement and enthusiasm as she told me of her card just for me, her happiness rubbed off on me. I was […]
Pray Anyway!
My daughter has learned in her sabbath school class: ‘pray when you wake up in the morning; pray in everything you do; pray when you are going to eat; pray when you are going to sleep. Many times, I don’t think I am good at helping her to pray at these times. And although we […]
God’s promises
My mom will be leading out Sabbath School this weekend and she shared with me that her topic will be ‘God’s promises’. For me, it seems as if we are surrounded by God’s promises and all we need to do is look and listen for what they are. I offered to write something for her, […]
Obey
This topic just seems to keep popping up for me. My daughter and I got in really late last night (by our standards). She was cranky and didn’t have the attention or focus to complete her homework. While doing it tonight would be perfectly acceptable by all the adults involved, she was having none of […]
Unexpected provision
Do you remember my last post from a few days ago? Don’t feel bad if you don’t, I usually have to read them a few times. It was entitled ‘uncomfortable?’ and it opened with me feeling there was an urgency to writing down what was in my head. By nature, I’m a procrastinator, and I […]
Uncomfortable?
I prefer to write at home in the quiet and stillness of the morning, but sometimes, like right now, it’s not possible, so I find myself writing with lots of things going on around me because somehow it feels as if these words need to be put on paper. This morning, as I was walking […]
Broken to rebuild
My girlfriend sent me pictures of her brand new condo. One of the main walls was being completely broken down to make way for a balcony. Her condo is a new construction, but with the timing of everything, had they been able to build the balcony before she moved in, it would have been delayed […]
Falling in love with Jesus
When I look back over the last year or so of my journey, I am simply amazed. There’s no other way for me to describe it. I’m in awe and humbled. God kept reaching out for me and He wanted one thing from me: my obedience. Although that might have been one of the hardest […]
Trusting what we cannot see
I was once given a beautiful orchid from my friend when he learned of my pending divorce. Unfortunately I didn’t know how to care for it, nor was I in the frame of mind to care for it. Sadly, I don’t think I watered it once and as a result, it died pretty quickly. Last […]
