Being Courageous
I’ve had a long standing fear of driving in Jamaica. The first time I drove there, it was on tiny, hilly roads and I had a small fender bender. I told myself I didn’t need to drive there and stuck with that thought. That was over 20 years ago. Add in my driving anxiety from […]
When God Answers in Unexpected Ways
God cares about the things that you care about. Last week, my daughter had been begging me for something. Like begging. I told her no. She went so far as to pray that God would answer her prayer. I chuckled and thought – this is one prayer that God isn’t going to answer, because I’m […]

Building a Firm Foundation
I saw the title for the month for our sabbath school and the verse came back to me: Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. It’s even under lined in my Bible. For a few years, I had it written on an 8 by 10 sheet of paper in a place […]
Do Not Be Anxious
I started a new devotion from the Bible app titled ‘Redeeming Your Time’. The app has a great number of devotions on just about any topic that you can think of. This particular devotion hit home as a friend was just telling me some of the same concepts earlier in the week as we’re discussing […]
Serve Where You Are
When I just started feeling called to speak and write, I received an email from Proverbs 31 to attend the She Speaks Conference. By the time I started following the organization, it was too late to attend the first year, so I made a mental note that I would attend the following year. The notice […]
Speak To My Heart
I woke up asking the Lord for today’s topic. I started saying ‘speak to my heart’ as a request to know what to do, and my mind started hearing the words from this not so recent song. Are you in the midst of a situation and you don’t know whether to turn to the right […]
The Way I Will Show You
Almost every time I preach, the story or Abraham comes up. I can’t say it is or was intentional, but I am drawn to this Bible character. Abraham fascinates me. It may be because his call seems so vague, and yet, Abraham got up and did what God requested of Him. Genesis 12:1 states The […]
Keep Going Anyway
I just read today’s Intouch devotion that confirmed my thoughts on what to share today. This past week I’ve been receiving notifications from Facebook that my posts are being removed. The notice as to why has been very vague. If you know me, you know I’m very careful about what I post – both on […]
Where is Your Voice?
While I had a great time away, I ended up returning with a very bad cold. For me, that’s not so unusual, and ordinarily isn’t a big deal, except this time it seemed to get progressively worse, and then ultimately caused me to lose my voice – which as far as I can remember, would […]
