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 […]
Being obedient
Oy! This morning I wasn’t sure what I was to share. But the thought of obedience has been on my heart recently. So, this is a repost. The thought occurred that this morning, I needed to get out of bed, and go read my bible. It’s a Sunday, and still early by my standards. But […]
Courageous men
My cousin asked me to write on this topic – close to two years ago. This is probably one that I would have avoided for a very long time. My first thought was: how can I talk about courageous men and not discuss King David. Then it occurred to me, how can I not talk […]
Directions
I work in one of the busiest cities in the world. On my way to work the other day, as I was walking on the sidewalk, I gazed up to one of the tallest buildings. I’m a true to the core New Yorker – there is no stopping to gaze upon anything, only continued movement […]
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 […]
