Are you worrying?
Over the last 24 hours, I’ve come across three very different devotions dealing with worrying. Had I received the first one when it was sent on Friday, I might have read it and not given much thought to it, but it somehow had gotten stuck in my work spam folder which meant I didn’t see […]
Draw near to God
Some time ago I was approached to teach our youth sabbath school class, I told the person I would think about it. I had kind of already mentally decided that I couldn’t for various reasons, but I said I would think about it. I thought about it briefly then dismissed the idea. My daughter was […]
You are enough
I prefer to stay with the safe, non-personal topics, but every now and again, I’m impressed to share my flaws and struggles with you. I would have preferred to tell you how I love the changing of the seasons, and how I love spring, but I guess that’s not the thought I am to share […]
God’s outfit or mine?
I’ve struggled with what to share over the last few days, not because I didn’t have a topic, but because it seemed as I had a few but none of the thoughts were fully coming together. This morning as my daughter and I were getting ready to go out, I took out an outfit that […]
What is your perceived fear?
Years ago as I was driving over a major bridge, I had a full blown panic attack. It had started days before as I was driving on some winding highways, but that day it escalated into a full panic attack while I was alone and going down the other side of the bridge. It has […]
NO
I love Fridays! I love the moment when I walk out of the office, knowing that I’m done for the week, and looking forward to the time I get to spend with my daughter. This particular Friday, the weather had finally warmed up, melting some of the snow and the sun was high in the […]
It’s a lie, well some of it!
As I was listening to today’s K-Love broadcast in the car, one of their news feature was how teens and young adults were having difficulty expressing their feelings because of social media. They were looking at other people’s posted lives and saying how ‘perfect’ their lives were and comparing their real lives to...
Prayer
It seems fitting that after my study lesson this week entitled ‘Prayer’, a devotion I read on prayer the same morning only a few moments after seeing the title of the study, and going to church and receiving a beautiful prayer journal from my ‘secret sister’. The irony of this gift is that within the […]
Clean?
A couple of weeks ago I came home and my beloved fish was sitting in the bottom of the tank. He was under the little bush in the tank. I tapped the outside, hard. No movement. I got very sad. My previous fish lasted almost 2.5 years. This one only lasted a year. I was […]
Family and friends
Years ago, when I got married, I unintentionally let my friendships suffer. While it was not intentional, I thought being married meant I needed to spend all my non-working time with my spouse. I did not do a good job of maintaining my close friendships and family relationships. When my marriage started suffering, I felt […]
