The sparrows
Have you ever wondered what the sparrow looks like? Yesterday I saw a little tiny bird on the sidewalk. He had many colors and I was reminded of what the Bible says about the sparrow “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your […]
God’s presence
I woke up early with the intention of getting ready and leaving home early. As I was in the shower washing my face, I heard my daughter’s tiny footsteps, then silence. I somehow forgot that I’d even heard her. A few minutes later, I looked up, and there she was, sitting quietly with me in […]
How God provides
How God provides I was having a conversation with a very good friend of mine and we were talking about the ways God has been providing for us. She’s been out of work but still has been able to take care of her bills and other things that she did before. We had a very […]
Broken shells
We love picking up shells from the beach. We’ve gathered so many, I don’t think we even know what to do with them anymore, but we still pick them up almost every time we come to the beach, which is often in the summer. Today is no different, we’re at the beach and my daughter […]
Grace
I’ve been praying about what to share, and the topic seems to keep coming back to Grace. Sometimes I get a topic that I just don’t even know if I have words for, so here goes. What is grace? How would you define grace? To me, it’s unmerited favor. Getting something that we have no […]
Keep pressing on
I shared about this a few weeks ago – doing what you are doing, even if you think no one is noticing. I have another clear example that jumped out at me in my devotion yesterday. As I was reading through Ruth 2, and having read a novel on this bible character recently, I noticed […]
Making decisions
Have you ever made a decision without consulting God before? You make it with all the good intentions in mind, but once you are in the midst of the action, you start thinking ‘where did I go wrong?’ Or ‘what didn’t I do that I was supposed to do?’ Or, I’ll even take it a […]
Be willing
Have you ever been given a job that you just didn’t want? Some days, I feel like that’s definitely where I fall. I’ve been asked to do something, and I find it difficult. I imagine myself as the child who folds their arms across their chest, pouts and plants their feet firmly on the ground. […]
God’s promises
There are times when I just feel stuck and don’t know what to write. It seems after praying about what to share, that still nothing comes. That’s when I open my bible and become even more intentional. I can’t give up, because I have made a promise to God, and He has made a promise […]
