God provides
God provides I’m learning that God has a way of providing for our needs. It may not necessarily be the way we want it but it’s what we need. I shared recently about needing time away and thinking of all the things I thought I would want and wouldn’t be able to find, but God […]
God is speaking. Are you listening?
Sometime last year when I started digging further into my bible and felt like I was being called to write, I kept coming up on the same passage. In Joel 2:28-29 NIV ‘And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, […]
Not good enough
Some time ago, I was feeling overwhelmed with all that I had on my plate and all that I had been doing. When that happens, I know it’s time for me to step back from it all and if possible to go away. The beach and sun are my favorite get aways. As it was […]
Thank you
This morning as I prayed for what to share – I really had nothing. But as usual, I picked up my bible and determined that I was going to exercise faith as to what I needed to share. Quite a few times I even thought of giving up, and that likely God didn’t have a […]
God wants our obedience
Story time with my daughter is almost always interesting. Normally her go to story first is the story of creation. For some reason, last night, the first story she chose was ‘Let my people go’, with the story of Pharaoh not allowing the Israelites to leave freely. It mentioned Passover, and she asked me what […]
Time of renewal
This is the time of year when many come up with resolutions. So are our needs different, so are our resolutions different. I could tell you a statistic of how many resolutions get broken by the end of January, but we already know that many statistics are made up – so let’s just go with […]
Facing our fears
I find that my daughters’ cartoons have many valuable lessons. This one was on facing fears. As I recently had an experience with a very real fear, this one hit home. This whole episode centered on a made up character. They talked about it and shared it so many times that it became a much […]
Hiding God’s words in our hearts
Do you ever think that trouble seems to come and find you? Boy, I certainly think so. If anyone knows how to find trouble, I do, and trouble knows where to find me as well. What kind of trouble you may ask? It varies, and it depends on what is making me weak in those […]
Praise the Lord
Last night I was having one of those nights. This week has already felt like a very long week, with still one more work day to go. My daughter and I got home and did our usual routine (whatever that really means – nothing is usual for us), but add to that, making a cake […]
Humility
God has a way of keeping me humble. Whenever I start to get “self-righteous” in my thinking, God has a way of sending me simple reminders that this process is not about me. I recently did something, actually a few things that I am not proud of. I am typically not a jealous person, but […]
