Keep your eyes on the prize!
Yesterday used to be one of two strength training days at the gym. They recently changed Tuesdays to Zumba from Monday. While the instructor for Monday’s Zumba was great, it wasn’t to my liking, I needed a little more rhythm, even though I can’t even dance and can barely follow the routine. This particular Tuesday...
I call you Friend
‘When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock, lead me to the rock, that is higher than I.’ So many songs that we hear and sing that we do not know the context. I woke up yesterday morning with that song in my head. I don’t think my heart is overwhelmed, but it’s […]
Pimple popping
My friend and I were sitting at the dance studio while our girls were in class. It’s that time of year where there’s a lot of excitement in the air. The girls are in full costume, hair up in a bun and very well made up. We sat in fascination with the costumes and make […]
The rain brings forth good things
The rain is teaching me more and more each day. Before it used to be that I should be staying home because it’s raining. Well, it doesn’t quite work that way, but let me believe what I want. However, having moved to a new home a few months ago, it’s teaching me that if it […]
You are no longer needed
Today’s verse is on 1 Samuel 30, but before we go there, we have to start with 1 Samuel 29. As I started reading, I realized I needed further context. David had been on the battle field for well over a year. The princes of the Philistines started asking what David’s purpose was. Achish responded […]
Send me!
Do you know who Mary Magdalene was? A follower of Jesus? A prostitute? First person to see Jesus when he rose from the dead? If you said any of the above, you’d be correct. I’m sure there are more ways to describe her, but these are the three that we will be focusing on. Mary […]
Jump right in!
A few weeks ago, I got really excited about actually starting this new blog. I finally knew what the purpose was that I wanted to share. A thoughtful and encouraging word to those needing a kind word. I was excited as God had laid it on my heart to do this. My mother’s birthday was […]
I’m ready. Well, maybe.
Lord, I’m ready. Well, not really. But you’re obviously calling me for something greater – so while I’m nervous and excited all at the same time, it’s time for me to stop making excuses, and to jump right in with both feet. I really didn’t realize that I was making excuses. You’ve told me to […]
My faith journey
Only lately have I realized that I’m on this amazing faith journey. I ran into a friend yesterday on the train, and she was so excited about it being one more day until her last day at work. The last time we sat together on the train, she shared with me how miserable she was […]
My very first post!
For quite some time, I’ve been told by close friends that I should be writing a book. A book? But I don’t even have a topic. Lately, I was reminded of the same, but now I have a conduit and a topic. I believe God has laid it on my heart to be a source […]
