How God provides
How God provides I was having a conversation with a very good friend of mine and we were talking about the ways God has been providing for us. She’s been out of work but still has been able to take care of her bills and other things that she did before. We had a very […]
Broken shells
We love picking up shells from the beach. We’ve gathered so many, I don’t think we even know what to do with them anymore, but we still pick them up almost every time we come to the beach, which is often in the summer. Today is no different, we’re at the beach and my daughter […]
Grace
I’ve been praying about what to share, and the topic seems to keep coming back to Grace. Sometimes I get a topic that I just don’t even know if I have words for, so here goes. What is grace? How would you define grace? To me, it’s unmerited favor. Getting something that we have no […]
Keep pressing on
I shared about this a few weeks ago – doing what you are doing, even if you think no one is noticing. I have another clear example that jumped out at me in my devotion yesterday. As I was reading through Ruth 2, and having read a novel on this bible character recently, I noticed […]
Making decisions
Have you ever made a decision without consulting God before? You make it with all the good intentions in mind, but once you are in the midst of the action, you start thinking ‘where did I go wrong?’ Or ‘what didn’t I do that I was supposed to do?’ Or, I’ll even take it a […]
Be willing
Have you ever been given a job that you just didn’t want? Some days, I feel like that’s definitely where I fall. I’ve been asked to do something, and I find it difficult. I imagine myself as the child who folds their arms across their chest, pouts and plants their feet firmly on the ground. […]
God’s promises
There are times when I just feel stuck and don’t know what to write. It seems after praying about what to share, that still nothing comes. That’s when I open my bible and become even more intentional. I can’t give up, because I have made a promise to God, and He has made a promise […]
Just do it!
Today’s title sounds like the ad slogan for Nike, but it is truly an encouragement to you and me to ‘just do’ what God has placed on your heart! Today is a special day. It is my mother’s birthday, whom I celebrate, but it’s also the 1 year anniversary of my blog, which was started […]
Being present for each other
I saw a post on social media, actually, one that then prompted another person to share. A very popular Instagram figure, has shared her heart through poetry, which has touched hundreds of thousands of people around the world (one of the positives of social media). The author’s writing is helping to heal a lot of […]
My orchid
I shared with you a few months ago about my orchid. Last year was the first time I had any interest in planting anything, and along with that came the desire to own a beautiful purple orchid. It lost its petals after a while of owning it. As I knew the petals would come back, […]
