Seasonal Changes and Faith Walks
I have a friend in Jamaica and a few years ago she shared that she loves to see the colors of the trees in Fall. While she works closely with plants in Jamaica, the trees don’t turn the colors that they do in the US. While we’ve been having some fantastic fall foliage, I remembered […]
God’s Loving Care
Last week, on my way to get my daughter’s hair done, out of nowhere, my car started swerving. The first miracle I observed was that I was within feet of a gas station. The second one, while someone was close behind me, I quickly put my four way flasher on and they pulled back. I […]
It May Not Make Sense
My daughter is home as she has a day of asynchronous learning. I hear her both doing her work, but choosing to partner up with other kids in her class to get it done. A few minutes into her trying to solve a particular problem, she yells: ‘mom, I need your help’. She rarely asks […]
Season of Remembrance
Some years ago, eight and a half years ago to be specific, as I had just moved into my new home, I wrote down a prayer. However, at the end of the prayer, I specifically asked God to lead. I was tired of doing the same thing, and expecting a different outcome. I truly was […]
Sometimes We Need To Pivot
Last year, after I attended a conference, the tickets for this year went on sale at the early bird rate. I purchased the ticket. Who doesn’t want a discount for a conference I’ll be attending? As the months progressed, I realized that my heart was no longer sure if I wanted to attend, but, I […]
When You Think You’ve Been Forgotten
Someone reached out to me earlier this year to do an interview for their organization that was geared towards young girls. As a mom to a daughter, and generally a lover of little kids, once I confirmed that it was legit, my answer was a resounding yes. As we neared the process of finishing the […]
The Desires of Our Hearts
Today is my birthday and normally, I keep a very low profile, but this year, I wanted to be intentional with the celebration. There are some things I have been learning about myself and decided it was time to make changes in areas that were important to me. One of them was being intentional in […]
Trust Him
I started writing some years ago because I needed to process my thoughts with God. I’ve tended to keep everything close to the vest, so, writing became the outlet I needed. Then God told me that I should share publicly. As I’ve shared before, I came up with every excuse I could, but apparently none […]
We Can End Well
As a last summer hoorah, my mom friend and I decided to take our girls to the bowling alley. The girls excitedly called out the order they wanted to play in. None of us were real bowlers. This was just a game for fun. As we commenced the game, I noticed that some were scoring […]
It Does Not Pay to be Rude
As our annual summer trip to Jamaica ended and we sat on the plane ready to leave, I noticed an interaction between a passenger who was taking his seat and the flight attendant. The flight attendant, in a very calm voice was saying something to the passenger. The passenger was very dismissive to the flight […]
