Deep Gratitude… and Frustration
Those were the two headline words in my journal recently. When I journal at a time that I don’t normally, I typically write the time. I want to remember the thought process when I look back a few days or many years later. This one has a time stamp of 2:15am – which means I’d woken up […]
Stay In Peace
This week I was dealing with some stuff. Lots of different personalities and some more difficult than others. When Wednesday rolled around, and I was emotionally exhausted and tired of talking about the same situation that had been detracting time from other areas of my life, I decided to go on my church’s Wednesday...
Money, Flowers and Banana Bread
I love to pick my daughter up from school. I get to hear about her day (whatever tidbit she chooses to share as she’s growing so fast). Her school was having a plant sale for Mothers Day and she’d said she wanted to buy something for me. This would be her own money as I […]
Comparison is the Thief of Joy
I shared on my Facebook page about a beautiful plant I saw but as I approached it, it turned out to be fake. Somehow I felt so disappointed about it not being a real plant. As I further meditated on it, this plant resembles a Mum, which comes into full bloom in the fall. It […]
‘What’s Next?’
This was one of the wrap up questions after my friend did a wonderful interview sharing of her faith journey and how God has moved in her life. She gave an answer to the question that she did not know, but had been learning to trust the process instead of trying to control it. As […]
Let’s Celebrate
As I contemplated my life and what I wanted to share with you, I wanted to talk about my deep sense of gratitude for life and the things that God is doing in this season. The thought came to mind that I don’t want to seem like I’m bragging (I’m not), so I kinda dismissed […]
A Tribute For My Neighbor
I’ve shared with you a few times how God had moved me into my current neighborhood. It was not just the house, but the neighbors, which I think may be the best part of where I call home. I asked for prayers on behalf of my neighbor and his family, and God decided it was […]
Where’s Your Target?
Last week my friends and I went to an Archery. As we had been discussing what to do, I told her I was ok if she chose, and I was ok if she chose something that was out of the norm for me. She chose archery and this is what happened. As we all started […]
Quiet Surrender
As I finished up the Bible app devotional I was reading on ‘Quiet in the Chaos’, it highlighted Genesis 1 as a way to pay attention to nature. As I read through the chapter, I felt myself visibly relax into what I was reading and the intricacies and details it provided as God designed and […]
Keep Showing Up
Have you ever felt like you’ve been handed an assignment or a ‘to do’ from God that does not seem to make sense and you don’t seem to be making any progress? My message for you today is: Keep Showing Up. Keep being faithful in your assignment, no matter what the current results look like. […]
