Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
These were the words that came to me as I was getting ready for my day “Let not your heart be troubled” and to share with a specific friend. I sent a message, along with an explanation. Later in the week, as I realized I didn’t have a topic, I started asking God what my […]
Forgiveness
A few months ago, someone shared a testimony on the Wednesday night prayer meeting on forgiveness. I thought it was a great testimony and the following morning as I took my morning walk, I didn’t think there was anyone I needed to forgive, but decided to ask God anyway – was there anyone who I needed to […]
Look Again
As I got ready to go take my morning walk, I slipped my feet into my sneakers and headed to my usual spot. As I had completed about a half of my first mile, one lace came undone. I thought it odd, because since I’d gotten my new sneakers, I’ve never had to retie my […]
This Makes No Sense
As my writing day approached and no inspiration hit, I kept asking what my topic would be, but after many years, I knew I needn’t worry. It would eventually be made clear. I had seen an Instagram post with a message that caught my eye and I wrote down the name and where the full […]
God is a Provider
God’s provision of our daily bread has a way of showing up in unimaginable ways. I think of the Israelites who got manna daily – they couldn’t collect any more than for one day – except for the sabbath, otherwise it would be filled with worms. I believe God wanted to show them what daily […]
Don’t Forget
A few days ago, the title for the week came ‘Don’t forget’ with no additional details. I wrote it down to ensure that I would not forget, while waiting for the rest of the message. My brain seems to be doing that more often lately. I remember the Lord whispering to me some time ago […]
Obedience by Resting
This week, my good friend and I have been talking about resting and sensing that God was calling us to truly rest. As women who are constantly doing something, resting can be a challenge, but we recognize that if we are in a season of rest, that God likely has something in store that He […]
Good and Perfect Gifts
I happened to wake up again before 2am. Note to self: do not fall asleep with remote in bed. But waking up at this time has allowed me to check on my friend who’s traveling, to make sure she’s ok. As I tried to fall back asleep, I started thinking of this past week – Christmas […]
In the Stillness of the Night
Some years ago, I was sharing with a friend how I was constantly waking up around the same time in the wee hours of the morning. He shared with me that he had developed a principle based on when God called Samuel. After being awake for a while, he would ask God to speak as […]
The Joy of Giving
As the year comes to a close, and I sat down to calculate and return my tithe and offering, I felt a deep sense of gratitude. When I started attending the church I currently attend nearly 25 years ago, I was convicted that I should be returning a tithe. I have a story that I […]
