The In-Between
I started a new devotion through the Bible app this week. It’s titled “Help for Your Hard Days”. The author states “we’re funny as humans. We tend to think in terms of all or nothing. So we insist that life is great when we’re breaking apart inside. Because to do otherwise would be to discount...
There is Beauty in Stillness
As I took my morning walk in the park, I allowed my mind to wander. While my time at the park is structured, while I walk, my brain has no structure of what it needs to do. I use the time to process my thoughts, speak to God and listen for what He has to […]
Kind Instructions and Detours
I had two very cool interactions in my favorite park that I’d like to share with you. Some weeks ago, as I was walking, I saw a couple taking their walk. I noticed the woman the first time. She looked like she was struggling. As we were walking in opposite directions of each other, I […]
Write Down the Vision
It’s the first time in a long time that I woke up and didn’t have a topic on my heart – or even writing on a Sunday morning as I’ve had much inspiration lately, and writing before Sunday. I sighed a deep sigh, knowing that God would come through, regardless of what it looks like. I’ve walked this […]
Seasonal Changes and Faith Walks
I have a friend in Jamaica and a few years ago she shared that she loves to see the colors of the trees in Fall. While she works closely with plants in Jamaica, the trees don’t turn the colors that they do in the US. While we’ve been having some fantastic fall foliage, I remembered […]
God’s Loving Care
Last week, on my way to get my daughter’s hair done, out of nowhere, my car started swerving. The first miracle I observed was that I was within feet of a gas station. The second one, while someone was close behind me, I quickly put my four way flasher on and they pulled back. I […]
It May Not Make Sense
My daughter is home as she has a day of asynchronous learning. I hear her both doing her work, but choosing to partner up with other kids in her class to get it done. A few minutes into her trying to solve a particular problem, she yells: ‘mom, I need your help’. She rarely asks […]
Season of Remembrance
Some years ago, eight and a half years ago to be specific, as I had just moved into my new home, I wrote down a prayer. However, at the end of the prayer, I specifically asked God to lead. I was tired of doing the same thing, and expecting a different outcome. I truly was […]
Sometimes We Need To Pivot
Last year, after I attended a conference, the tickets for this year went on sale at the early bird rate. I purchased the ticket. Who doesn’t want a discount for a conference I’ll be attending? As the months progressed, I realized that my heart was no longer sure if I wanted to attend, but, I […]
When You Think You’ve Been Forgotten
Someone reached out to me earlier this year to do an interview for their organization that was geared towards young girls. As a mom to a daughter, and generally a lover of little kids, once I confirmed that it was legit, my answer was a resounding yes. As we neared the process of finishing the […]
