Not good enough
Some time ago, I was feeling overwhelmed with all that I had on my plate and all that I had been doing. When that happens, I know it’s time for me to step back from it all and if possible to go away. The beach and sun are my favorite get aways. As it was […]
Thank you
This morning as I prayed for what to share – I really had nothing. But as usual, I picked up my bible and determined that I was going to exercise faith as to what I needed to share. Quite a few times I even thought of giving up, and that likely God didn’t have a […]
God wants our obedience
Story time with my daughter is almost always interesting. Normally her go to story first is the story of creation. For some reason, last night, the first story she chose was ‘Let my people go’, with the story of Pharaoh not allowing the Israelites to leave freely. It mentioned Passover, and she asked me what […]
Time of renewal
This is the time of year when many come up with resolutions. So are our needs different, so are our resolutions different. I could tell you a statistic of how many resolutions get broken by the end of January, but we already know that many statistics are made up – so let’s just go with […]
Facing our fears
I find that my daughters’ cartoons have many valuable lessons. This one was on facing fears. As I recently had an experience with a very real fear, this one hit home. This whole episode centered on a made up character. They talked about it and shared it so many times that it became a much […]
Hiding God’s words in our hearts
Do you ever think that trouble seems to come and find you? Boy, I certainly think so. If anyone knows how to find trouble, I do, and trouble knows where to find me as well. What kind of trouble you may ask? It varies, and it depends on what is making me weak in those […]
Praise the Lord
Last night I was having one of those nights. This week has already felt like a very long week, with still one more work day to go. My daughter and I got home and did our usual routine (whatever that really means – nothing is usual for us), but add to that, making a cake […]
Humility
God has a way of keeping me humble. Whenever I start to get “self-righteous” in my thinking, God has a way of sending me simple reminders that this process is not about me. I recently did something, actually a few things that I am not proud of. I am typically not a jealous person, but […]
Seek Ye First
For some reason over the course of the last few days, the song ‘seek ye first the kingdom of God’ has been playing in my head. I thought it was a little odd because I haven’t heard that song in ages. But it’s been playing when I wake up and at random times throughout the […]
Taking the mask off
Years ago, our women’s group did a meeting. It was held in a private home as opposed to being held at church, where we were less likely to let our guards down. The essence of the meeting was that we were to wear masks (they were beautiful and elaborate) for the first part of the […]
