Thanksgiving and praise
As it is the season of Thanksgiving, and my daughter has been learning about the Pilgrims, the Indians and the Mayflower, I decided to ask her what is the meaning of thanksgiving. As usual, her response surprised me. She said, ‘giving thanks to God for everything we have’. Wow. What a response. I know not […]
Friendships
Just because I’ve had this conversation at least 3 times in the last 3 days. Two of my friends thanked me for being their friend. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to promote myself, I just want to talk about the importance of friendship. One of the reasons they thanked me was because […]
Love
I went to the store last night and when I was done picking up the items I originally went for, I decided to take a stroll in the home section of the store. I came across a canvas with the passage “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, […]
Failure
I was talking to my friend a few days ago, and the conversation came up regarding where I’ve failed before. I started listing some of the big tests that I’ve failed at in life. Wow!.. I’ve really failed quite a bit, and I was only talking about tests! I could give you a list – […]
When waiting becomes hard
I woke up at 3:30 this morning. Don’t feel bad, this was actually a good night, I hadn’t woken up multiple times before that like I had been doing recently, so this was pretty good. As I’m still wearing my eye shield after surgery (last night), my eyes were finding it hard to adjust. I […]
God has chosen you!
This morning when I woke up, I thought I was going to be sharing on obedience. God has such a sense of humor. But alas, it’s not, or maybe it is. I’m choosing to be obedient that I have a different topic to share, rather than what I thought it would be, and going with […]
Vision
I woke up yesterday morning a little anxious, and not being able to see that well. While my prescription was never terrible, I’m near sighted and have been for most of my adult life. While I don’t need glasses to read, I need it to watch tv and drive, and really, to see anything that’s […]
King David
I’m not a theologian, so please forgive me if I don’t get all the details right. I’m just a girl struggling to learn more and excited to share my devotion with you. I opened my bible to the devotion related to 1 Chronicles 12:23-40. This passage is titled ‘others join David at Hebron’. It goes […]
The canvas of life
Last weekend I had the pleasure of being invited to a paint party to celebrate my friend’s birthday. It was something that always looked interesting, but I’d never been invited to one before, and never thought to actually go find a class myself. It was both fun and interesting and I’d like to share my […]
Unloved
I think you already know how I feel about sharing stories that are truly personal and feel private to me. I don’t like it. Not one bit. But I think someone needs to hear this. I went out to celebrate with my girlfriend this weekend and we took lots of pictures. On the way home, […]
