Vanity?
I was listening to my colleagues’ conversations a few days ago. One was telling the other about the Steve Jobs movie, and how the movie painted his character. Although he was a brilliant person, Steve had some major character defects. Steve was the co-founder of Apple, and was eventually fired from the company he started. […]
Lessons from a tomato vine
My friends are learning more about me and how these thoughts come about. They seem to come from the mundane, every day things, but somehow God is teaching me that nothing is so mundane, but there are lessons to be learned. Today’s thought is based on a picture of my tomatoes from my ‘farm’ I […]
Source of life
When I was in Jamaica some time ago, my phone died.. Literally died. Something must have been draining the battery and I didn’t realize it. It had been in my purse and was not being used. I tried plugging it into the charger for short periods and then taking it out – wanting to see […]
Guarding your heart – 2
My friend and I are constantly talking about guarding our hearts these days. Because I’ve had multiple conversations with different people on the topic, we all seem to interpret what it means differently based on our experiences. The interpretation for me that keeps coming up is proverbs 4:23. ‘Above all else, guard...
Looking for God’s hands in situations
I already shared with you how I’ll write down a title then have nothing to say on said topic for days or weeks. This title is 6 weeks old and it still amazes me when all the thoughts come together and I look through my notes and realize there was already a title, just […]
Being obedient
Oy! This morning I struggled with what I was to share. It’s still in the wee hours of the morning, but it’s also the quietest time in my home. I honestly didn’t want to get out of bed. I got to bed well after midnight, and if you know me, you know I turn into […]
It’s not about you!
Yesterday was a busy day at work for me. It was also my birthday, which meant a busy evening as well. As I was rushing home, I knew I needed to thank everyone for their well wishes, as I’d had no time during the day. The thought also occurred to me that I didn’t know […]
Falling apart or falling into place?
I celebrate my birthday this week, and I’m excited about it. I love my birthdays. Two years ago, exactly around this time, I didn’t think I had much to celebrate. My life felt like it was falling a part. I had been struggling in many parts of my life, which is unusual. Usually, even when […]
Samson
I recently heard the story of Samson from a very different perspective. While this got my attention, I was confused. The stories that I had heard of Samson growing up was the general ‘Samson and Delilah’ and how she bothered him enough for him to finally give away his secret that his hair should never […]
Going the distance
This morning, one of my devotions was entitled “When You’re Running on Empty”. And the person shared with us how she liked to cut it close to running on empty when she needed gas for her car. She’d drive her car literally well past the empty light coming on – and on one such instance, […]
