I Will Instruct You: Part 2
I Will Instruct You: Part Two Last week as I contemplated what to write about, my Bible opened to Psalm 32. And one of the verses I have underlined is verse eight. I ended up blogging on that topic last week. The next two days those verses appeared yet again in various places. I was […]
I Will Instruct You
Many of us are walking around with unanswered questions. Don’t laugh at me, but, I’ve been using my AI to ask a lot of questions. Often times, it seems to be on point. My AI is the thing that I wished I had all along as I ask it the most random questions, and, it […]
We Bloom at Different Times
I started saying a simple prayer last year. ‘Lord show me what is dead and what is not.’ As Spring approached last year and things I thought for sure were dead, started blooming, I was stunned. This year as the blossoms have started coming in, and I walked through the park, I noticed one particular […]
When the Instructions Do Not Make Sense
This morning my mind felt like a blank slate. No thoughts or words were forming. As I debated which of my Bibles to pick up: the brand new study Bible with lots of extra context or my worn Bible with the 15 year history; my hand reached for the one with history. It felt familiar […]
This is Hard!
There are some seasons that I wish I could use my Global Entry access for. If you’re not aware, Global Entry allows you to enter the United States because a pre-clearance has been done and you walk to a kiosk that uses facial recognition, and you walk to the TSA agents and pretty much walk […]
Ye of Little Faith
Many years ago, as I laid in bed, crying at the prospect that my friend would not be able to afford school the next semester – which was fast approaching, I heard a whisper, ‘ye of little faith’. I can now confidently look back and say this was the first time I heard the Lord […]
This is Unexpected…
As I thought of what my topic for today would be, and remembered my week, a few things were brought back to my memory. In some ways, it was a frustrating week. Things that I thought for sure would have happened by now, still have not happened. It feels like disappointment in so many regards. […]
Come to Me… For Rest
Towards the end of 2024, and as we approached 2025, as I started contemplating my words for the year, two became solidified… ‘rest and surrender’ For someone who is and has been a perpetual doer, that instruction seemed foreign. If I think about it, it shouldn’t have been so foreign, because 10 years ago as […]
Choices
Author’s note: today’s message may be triggering for some who are still walking through seasons where their choice was taken away from them. Please seek wise counsel for all you need. I shared a message at my church and the topic was Rahab. If you are not familiar, Rahab was a prostitute who because of […]
Don’t Try to Circumvent the Waiting Process
A few days ago, I got to the Costco gas station. I love the convenience of many pumps and the savings on the price of gas. In total, there are about eight lanes that you can go on – four on each side, with three pumps, which makes it easy depending on whether your gas […]
