Seek Ye First
For some reason over the course of the last few days, the song ‘seek ye first the kingdom of God’ has been playing in my head. I thought it was a little odd because I haven’t heard that song in ages. But it’s been playing when I wake up and at random times throughout the […]
Taking the mask off
Years ago, our women’s group did a meeting. It was held in a private home as opposed to being held at church, where we were less likely to let our guards down. The essence of the meeting was that we were to wear masks (they were beautiful and elaborate) for the first part of the […]
I’ll Trust You Lord
It’s good to have friends and colleagues that you can talk about God with. There are certain times that my faith wavers, and as a result, my trust in God wavers. I’m being honest with you. I wish I could tell you I had the faith and patience of Job all the time, but I […]
Forgiveness
A few months ago when I had just started my blog, I was approached and asked to speak. The topic would be ‘forgiveness’. This person would never have known that I had been speaking with someone that very week and sharing that she needed to forgive someone of a very deep hurt and that would […]
Prayer
Some time ago, I was reading through the comments section of a blog I follow. The topic might have had to do with prayer or something related. The person commenting noted that whenever someone told her of an issue they were facing or an issue in general, she would tell them she would pray for […]
Trust
My daughter and I have a set routine at bed time. Sometimes she needs to get back up after we’re settled into bed and all the lights are off – and I’m too tired to get back up with her. When this started happening, I told her to go, and I’d turn on the flashlight […]
God’s perfect peace
More and more I’m learning that there are some things that are well beyond my control – well, all things, as I was reminded, are well beyond my control. But for some reason, I used to think that control was mine to have, and if I just kept doing what I was doing, that it […]
Cast your cares on Him
Today’s share was already shared on Jul 6th, so I apologize if you’ve already read it. However, I’ll share with you the rationale why I’m choosing to re share this one today. Today’s bible app verse of the day was 1 Peter 5:7 NIV “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. […]
Never quit
I love watching my daughter’s cartoons with her. I find that there are many lessons behind the surface of what appears to be humor. This particular animation was the original ‘Kung Fu Panda’. The Panda was accidentally cast as the dragon warrior. Or was it an accident? As the master (turtle) had neared his time,...
Thanksgiving and praise
As it is the season of Thanksgiving, and my daughter has been learning about the Pilgrims, the Indians and the Mayflower, I decided to ask her what is the meaning of thanksgiving. As usual, her response surprised me. She said, ‘giving thanks to God for everything we have’. Wow. What a response. I know not […]
