Remembering Truth
Are you sometimes tempted to listen to that voice in your head that you need to have more? You can decide what the “more” looks like. Don’t get me wrong. Having ambition is a great thing, but knowing when to be content with what you have until “more” comes along is also a worthy […]
Sit with me
I love my quiet time in the morning when I’m having devotion and my home is completely quiet. It’s easier for me to ask God what He would have me do/share, and for me to stop long enough to hear/read His response. My devotion this morning started in Job 1. I love the book of […]

Comfort and Compassion
Last night as my daughter and I were going through our bed time routine; she has me read her as many books as I allow and I read my one devotional thought. I had been asking a specific question of God earlier in the day, and it seemed the topic I was reading, was just […]
