You Didn’t Ask Me…
Earlier in the week, I started pondering a business trip I had been planning on attending. I had a few large unexpected expenses come up, and as a financial advisor, I started prioritizing what was truly important. As I’ve attended this particular conference a few times in the past, both in person and online, I […]
The Night is not Over
As my family and friends gathered for a community event for the Fourth of July, we could not help but look around at the different vendors. There were food trucks of different kinds. There was a church with multiple stations for various free activities. There were some of the bigger sponsors giving away freebies, and […]
Firmly Rooted
This week, I saw God show up in some very tangible ways, including witnessing a medical emergency where God had medical staff in multiple areas, show up minutes before the first police car arrived. It was such a powerful reminder that before we even call, and yet while we are still speaking, He can answer. […]
Bountiful Lessons
As you can imagine, the gardening lessons have been non stop. It’s been so fun, amazing and at times frustrating watching all that is happening in my backyard and garden. Let’s start with the frustrating part. I planted so many things early on. Sadly, most of them did not survive. I planted on my windowsill […]
Stand Firm
As I’ve sat, meditating on what to share, God remains faithful – even as it comes down to the wire. Sitting quietly in my rocking chair, waiting for a topic that I know will come. How do I know this? Nine years of experiencing the same thing. As it was my mother’s birthday yesterday, it […]
Just One…
This week has been filled with testimonies, so it’s been hard to settle on just one. So, I’ll share a quick note on the one I originally thought was going to be the topic. There may be times in our lives that God will take us on a journey. It may end up being one […]
Divine Delays and Protection
Some years ago as I was on my way home from church, driving a stretch of road that I had driven hundreds of times prior, something happened that made me have to pull over. It’s six years later and still difficult to describe. I could not convince myself that me and my car would make […]
Water Your Grass… And Your Relationships
As I am currently sitting in my backyard, after many rainy days, I’m observing how green my grass is. To be honest, I am very pleasantly surprised. When the season started, I had many bald spots of dirt. This is something that I normally ignore and allow the gardener to do his thing. But this […]
Stillness Brings Peace
My pastor has been sharing messages about stillness. These resonate a lot with me as it’s been a journey that God has called me to for many years. I say a journey because it has not been a one and done level of stillness. In each season, it’s looked far different than sitting and waiting […]
What is Your Legacy?
I’ve often told my mom how proud I am of her. For all that she’s accomplished, yes… But, one of the reasons I tell her this is I recognize that she broke the mold of what was expected of her. While life’s circumstances handed her some situations, she always seemingly chose the hard decision, but […]
