Kindness begets kindness
I have used the quote to end my emails for nearly 15 years ‘It is difficult to give away kindness. It keeps coming back to you. Cort Flint’ and this message has not changed. I have found that the more you extend kindness, the more it comes back to you. My colleague and I enjoy […]
Hold on! Change is coming!
This week was a hard week. It was challenging in so many regards. But then I had to change my demeanor as I changed from role to role from a career woman, commuter, mom, daughter and friend. For each role I played, I had to show up for the part and try to be there […]
A braying washing machine?
A few weeks ago, I started a load of laundry. There seemed to be nothing out of the norm. I started it and went on to do my other chores around my home. When it got closer to the spin cycle – it sounded like there was a donkey in our home – which of […]
A God who sees our needs, and wants
Have you ever read the stories in 2 Kings 4? The chapter is broken down in four distinct stories: The Widow’s Oil; The Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life; Death in the Pot; and Feeding of a Hundred. I see these stories as a God who provides for our needs and sometimes what we didn’t even […]
What is your storm?
I’ve heard Priscilla Shirer share: ‘you’re either in a storm, coming out of one, or about to enter one’… What a true statement. This topic has been on my heart for the last three weeks to share with you, and this week, it came up at least 5 times, so I know it’s definitely time. […]
What is your purpose?
You ever wonder what purpose some animals or insects serve? My daughter and I spent our last vacation cruising on the high seas. The particular ship we sailed was affiliated with Guy Harvey, a marine biologist. He designed the hull of the ship, and he even had his own tv channel on the ship. My […]
What are you praying for?
On one of our most recent trips, my daughter saw a lady and decided she wanted to spend time with her. As we were all a part of the same excursion, I gave her the ok. I’ve also observed that she typically sees in others what most tend not to see. The lady had been […]
‘I want you to trust Me’
Have you been going through some things and you just didn’t understand what God was doing? That’s where I was a few years ago. I remember distinctly walking through the streets of Manhattan as I headed home, asking God why was He doing what He was doing. The quiet but firm response came to my […]
Be Still and Know…
I’ve been praying on what to share for a few days. This is not unusual – if by Thursday I don’t have a topic, I pray a little harder. Before I used to get worried when I didn’t, now I’m trusting that God will give me just the right topic that that one person needs […]
A Proverbs 31 Woman
A few years ago I decided I wanted to be a Proverbs 31 woman. To be honest, I think I’d heard the term bandied about but not knowing truly what it meant. I then turned to my trusty Google to find what Proverbs 31 says. Instead of finding the chapter, I found Proverbs31.org instead and […]
