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 […]
Going deeper
Have I mentioned before that I love the beach? Yup, I absolutely love the beach. It’s where I find relaxation and solace. While I see the surface, I don’t take for granted how powerful it is, and all that’s below it. Truth be told, I’m fascinated by it. Whenever I stop for a while, I […]
Where should I go?
Sometime ago, I read something that God provides instructions as we go and gives us little pieces of a puzzle as we go through and as we need them. Yesterday I took my daughter to an aquarium, and they were to have a dolphin show at a certain time. We were about an hour before […]
God provides
God provides I’m learning that God has a way of providing for our needs. It may not necessarily be the way we want it but it’s what we need. I shared recently about needing time away and thinking of all the things I thought I would want and wouldn’t be able to find, but God […]
God is speaking. Are you listening?
Sometime last year when I started digging further into my bible and felt like I was being called to write, I kept coming up on the same passage. In Joel 2:28-29 NIV ‘And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, […]
