Good neighbors
A few days ago as I got ready to take my daughter to meet her dad, I got in the car and started it and it promptly shut back off. I realized I was going nowhere. I quickly changed plans and had him meet us at home. Upon trying to start the car, it still […]
Will you say ‘yes’?
Yesterday I presented a workshop at my church’s conference wide training for Treasurers, Clerks and Stewardship. If you told me last year when I attended that a year later, I would be one of the presenters, with even my picture and bio in the program, I almost definitely wouldn’t believe you. But God… As I […]
Slow progress is still progress
I find myself either saying this phrase to friends or thinking it a lot these days. ‘Slow progress is still progress.’ As my daughter and I got to church and were circling looking for parking, she noticed an older gentleman walking with a cane. When we finally found a spot, parked and got out of […]
My worst ‘investment’
Have you ever been sold something that seemed amazing at the time but then realized after owning it that it’s not what you wanted? That’s how I’ve felt about a timeshare I’ve owned. I purchased the timeshare 15 years ago. Since then, I’ve tried many ways to try to get rid of it, but continued […]
Crazy and persistent faith
I shared with you last week about the church I visited, but not what the message was about. This week, after my week, it seems fitting that we talk about that. At church last week, the pastor who had been sick for months, came back and was fired up. She knew something about waiting on […]
A child shall lead them
Yesterday as I was in conversation with my daughter, my mind had already decided where I would be worshiping. I wanted to go to my home church. I had even declined an invitation from my friend to visit her church, because at the time I just knew I was to go to my church. They […]
What do you do with consistency?
I attended a goal setting get together this week. The one word that kept jumping out from our conversations was ‘consistency’. As we each were coming up with our respective goals and plans for the new year, the common theme was: how will you be consistent to make this goal a reality? I think back […]
Thank you!
Today, there are no posts: just my heart that is filled with gratitude for you. Thank you for sharing this faith journey with me. Thank you for reading my posts and sharing how it impacts your life. Thank you for reminding me why I write when I feel unworthy for this awesome calling. Thank you […]
False sense of security
I have two smoke alarms, so I’d like to think I’m pretty covered. I try to make sure that I change the batteries – but not always remembering to do it when the clock changes, which is around every 6 months. Do I really need to do it that often anyway? I was cooking recently […]
Saying ‘no’
My good friend asked me to do an ongoing event with her. It would have been every other week for about 2 hours each time. There would be some planning to get the program together each time. I said ‘no’. I’ve struggled with my answer because of how good this friend has been to me. […]
