Is God too busy for you?
I had a hectic week this week. My routine was different and normally I use my train time to text or catch up on reading. Because of my unusual routine, my reading time was diminished and I realized multiple times that I had simply forgotten to respond to messages that had come in that I […]
My bruised thumb
Repost – but I think it’s fitting today as we think of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. My bruised thumb I went excavating last night. Well. Not really. I sat in my living room and ‘excavated’ a dinosaur from an egg. I gave my daughter money to buy gifts for her teachers and […]
When do you worship?
Do you have a time set aside in your day to talk to God, and to allow Him time to talk back to you? Some time ago, I would spend a quick few minutes, then move on to the next task at hand. I’m a sleeper, and one of my favorite things to do was […]
Daddy’s girl
My car muffler blew out last weekend. I tried to have it addressed right away by seeing my uncle who knows about cars, but for one reason or another, I was unable to find the place he was sending me to. He’d also advised me that while it sounded bad, it was still in driving […]
What does your ministry look like?
I think often times when we think of ministry – we think of our pastors or those who preach to large congregations and say we could never do that. Did you know that your ministry could be reaching out to one person at a time? I am finding out that that’s how God has chosen […]
Walking the faith journey
I remember my first post, which was close to two years ago. I felt like I had been on an incredible faith journey and had been led to start sharing my experiences with you. It’s now two years later. Actually, it’s 21 months later – but it has still been an incredible journey. I know […]
Do you have the right tools?
Now that our tenants are gone, it’s time to clean up and rebuild. It’s been a long journey, but we are thankful it’s over. As a part of the major clean up process, we ripped up the carpets. Our friend came and helped our family. There were boards with nails that remained after that major […]
Answered prayers
Answered prayers When I was asked to speak last year, I just knew what my topic would be – Answered Prayers. The topic was on my heart since shortly after being asked to speak in February, but I wouldn’t actually speak until December. I had plenty of time to prepare, and just knew that when […]
Will you say ‘yes’?
I recently had two interactions that have left me wanting to say ‘yes’ to God’s requests more. There are situations that we are put in, and ‘assignments’ we are given. Sometimes we can see right away the impact we make, and other times it will not be until we make it to God’s kingdom that […]
Wisdom
Do you have a favorite ‘wisdom’ story in the Bible? My all time favorite has to be when King Solomon thought he was in a dream when God asked him what he wanted from Him. Instead of Solomon asking for riches or long life or any of those things, he asked for wisdom from God […]
