Rushing ahead
Have you ever just wanted to rush what God is doing in your life? That’s the place I’m finding myself lately. I’m being given specific instructions for this season. The instructions are actually still coming, but I’m asking God what’s next. It’s quite funny as I observe my brain and the conversations I’m having with […]
Unexpected blessings
I think you guys know by now that I don’t like sharing the intimate details of what happens to me. I believe it opens me up to being judged. But now I’m also realizing that it opens me up to being loved on and cared for by others. Sometimes we need to show our vulnerabilities […]
Divine Encounters
This title is appropriate as I believe that’s what happened this morning. I switched my role and started something new yesterday. As I had not had a ‘new’ day like that in 14 years, I was a little overwhelmed. It turned out to be an ok first day – but there was a lot of […]
Unplanned Friendships
I’m still amazed at my friendship with someone I have not yet met. How can someone become good friends with someone they’ve never met in person? There are times that I’ve asked if she’s really real. I know this sounds silly – especially because we text all the time – but can this type of […]
Do it well!
This week I had the opportunity to do something I rarely make time for: to get a manicure and pedicure at the same time. I guessed what time the salon would be open and went around then. To my disappointment, both salons (same owners) were still closed. I knew there was another one not too […]
Trust
Have you ever had a situation where you are reading a particular verse of scripture and meditating on it, and your friend sends you the same exact verse with her notes during her quiet time? In those moments, I realize just how real God is, and how much He cares about the little details. The […]
God cares about the details
This past week was a rough one. It felt like so many things were happening. It felt as if money was flowing out of my account like water. My friend shared this quote and I must agree, ‘in like drops and out like a waterfall’. Well, it certainly felt like a waterfall as there seemed […]
Show them love…
I’ve debated whether to share this much detail. I still struggle with sharing the private aspects of my life – but alas, I believe this story – embedded in my other message, will help someone. Recently, I had an anxiety attack while driving. I don’t think I’m typically prone to anxiety, but it might have […]
Choices
Our church’s lesson for this quarter centers on choices. As I started reading through it, it talked about how many choices we make. From the moment that we wake up we are constantly making choices, some more obvious than others; and some that have more lasting effects than others. At the last moment, I made […]
Big changes???
Winter is finally over! I can see and hear the signs of spring. The birds are chirping and have become my morning alarm. The grass is going from dry burnt yellow to patches of green. And one of my favorites – the temperature hit nearly 70 degrees yesterday. With the return of warm weather, and […]
