Childlike Faith
I’ve noticed something recently with my daughter. For me, it’s funny and frustrating all at once. She asks for things frequently, as do most children her age. The thing that I’ve observed with her though is once she’s asked me once or twice if I don’t flat out say ‘no’, even if I haven’t said […]
Be Kind Anyway
This week there seemed to be a theme of choosing to be kind throughout my week. I texted my spiritual mom about two instances where I had shown kindness about circumstances that I knew were beyond my own capacity. Choosing to show up a certain way, even though my natural inclination was not that. A […]
Guard Your Thoughts
This week was filled with lessons, so much so that I had a difficult time choosing which to share. Maybe it’s ‘recency bias’ but I settled on sharing something that happened yesterday, but I now realize that something similar had happened earlier this week. I’ve had a thought for the last few months. It may […]
‘I’ve Been Through This Before’
This was the title of my pastor’s sermon ‘I’ve been through this before’. What an incredible message and reminder. He set the stage using Joseph’s time in prison. In Genesis 40, Joseph helped decipher the cup bearer’s dream. After he explains what the dream means and that all would end well, Joseph had one request: […]
Will You Say ‘Yes’?
This season of my life amazes me. I shared with you last week about how the more I’ve felt called into a life of ‘Walking in Obedience’, the more God has done with it. http://edx.kwi.mybluehost.me/obey-god-and-leave-the-consequences-to-him/ This week I received a message from someone I had previously been connected with through...
‘Obey God and Leave The Consequences to Him’
Seven years ago, I asked for God to do something different in my life. I had been a baptized Christian for about sixteen years prior to that, but in that moment, I asked God to truly lead my life. I can now look back and say God must have said ‘ahhhh, now we can do […]
Bumpy Roads Can Lead to Beautiful Destinations
For Spring Break, we visited the beautiful island of Jamaica. As we were making plans to go, there were some things that were high on my excursion lists. One of the places my mom wanted to go was a Beach that we had both gone to in the past, and were waiting with bated breath […]
Is Something Wrong With Me?
Have you ever wondered if something is wrong with you? Hear me out… This season has been filled with so many things. Good, not so good and in between. In the midst of what feels like a ‘not so good’ period, one more very weighty thing is added. Already thinking of all the other things […]
Do The ‘Right’ Thing
Has something ever happened to you and then you realized that had to be a God prompt? On Friday, I decided to work from home because I knew once I was done working, I could get started on some house chores. One of my goals was to organize a particular room. Once I was done […]
How Will You Use Your Gift?
My mom and I were asked to do the welcome/greeting for our church. I decided to share a bit of our history of being in our local church body for over the last 20 and what it’s meant to us to have such a church family. I took three minutes and wrote down my thoughts […]
