Friendship and Love
Devotional by Paula Sanders Blackwell I asked my good friend and author, Paula Sanders Blackwell, of devotional and prayer journal ‘Lessons from my Hard Head’ to guest blog for me today. www.paulablackwell.com Friendship and Love I moved to Houston three years ago today. Initially, I told my husband I was too old to start over with...
Tomorrow?
I usually don’t think much about the fact that we aren’t promised tomorrow, but I had such a powerful lesson that I wanted to share. My sister in law and I had a wonderful first few days together of our vacation. When I was planning our trip, as we were spending the first few days […]
Good news!
Hi Friends, I just wanted to share some news with you! I’ve been writing for a little over two years now (still seems hard to believe), not knowing what the next step would or should be – and I was ok with that. My only call had been to write devotions to share. I’m learning […]
The power of your tongue
I had the pleasure of traveling with my daughter. As we were sitting at the gate, we saw our plane approaching. She and I talked about the plane for a bit as we continued to watch the guy on the ground give the pilot directions using his red lights, and the positioning of the lights. […]
Slow down
I was away on the beautiful island of Jamaica, and we had the need to drive to the country from the town to take care of family matters. There are certain unspoken rules of island driving. And if you are driving too slowly, just make sure you’re slow enough to ensure the driver behind you […]

Gratefulness
This time of year, I am filled with gratitude. It’s an easy anniversary to remember, as it is the same as my mother’s birthday. Today makes two years since I’ve started my blog. More than a sense of gratefulness, is a sense of awe at what God can do when we show up willing. And […]
Hearing God’s voice
This topic seems to be coming up in my conversations more frequently with my friends. How do we know that we have heard instructions from God on a particular topic? How do we ensure that it is not just our minds making things up? I love to read, and now that I spend […]
God can handle our honesty
I was in a crappy mood on Friday. I’m not quite sure how to fully explain why, but I was in a funk. I realized I was snippy with my colleagues and even someone I didn’t work closely with teased and said my energy was off. I laughed it off, but knew that he had […]
Jesus’ Hands and Feet
A few weeks ago, I prayed the bold prayer of asking to be Jesus’ hands and feet. In the middle of my prayer, I received a nudge, “are you sure you want what you are asking?”… I wasn’t. I instantly changed my prayer to “Lord, please help me to be your hands and feet”. You […]
