If I told you my story
Sometimes I’m starting to think that if I told you my story, that you wouldn’t believe and you’d think I made it up. Actually, these days the conclusion I’ve come up with is ‘I couldn’t make this up if I tried’. I just can’t make this stuff up. Yesterday morning was one of those mornings....
Answered prayers
In the bible, there is the story of the ten who were healed of leprosy. Ten men had come to Jesus, when they had leprosy and needed healing, begging for pity. As was the custom, they had to stay a far way from ‘clean’ people, so that’s what they did. On the way to […]
There is nothing new
When I felt like I was being led to start writing, I had a whole host of reasons why I couldn’t. The first one was: while I never considered myself a writer, I’m an extremely private person. God impressed me to read Exodus, and when I forgot, He reminded me again, and again. In […]
Waiting
I like to tell my daughter about things we’ll be doing. Except sometimes I don’t give her full details. I tell her, which builds eager anticipation, ‘it’s a surprise’. She loves surprises, because she knows I only promise her good things. This can work two ways for me. She’ll either torture me with...
Seasons
I love spring and summer. I love spring because it’s a time of rebirth and everything becomes new again. I love the summer for its warmth and beach weather. I live in New York, so the seasons are very distinct, and not like the Caribbean where it feels like it was a perpetual summer. It’s […]
God, no thank you.
I had a somewhat troubling experience yesterday. I don’t like to talk about what I do, but this was a poignant lesson, and I feel the need to share, so please bear with me. My daughter was out of school for the day, but I had to work. As the weather sucked on Sunday, I […]
God’s promises
I’m sure I own multiple bibles. But my favorite is a couple’s devotional bible that I bought when I got married. I believe I’ve gotten much more use and comfort from it as a single person, than I did married. I think this is the time that God has called me to really be with […]
Smile
For a long time I saw this lady on the train platform. It could easily have been years. While we slightly acknowledged each other (if that) we never spoke. One evening, as I was walking home, I thought I saw her walking into a building in Manhattan in front of me. But I really […]
Just do it!
So, I’ve been praying about what to share with you today. It’s been a few days – and I have a commitment with God to share something about 3 times a week. I’m at that point – with seemingly nothing to share. The thought that has crossed my mind multiple times today is this – […]
Prayer
I have a tendency to frustrate myself. It’s for no other reason, that I try to think about everything (some of which I have absolutely no control), but I think and ponder about them anyway. God is trying to teach me that some of these things are not my problem and I should trust Him. […]
