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 […]
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 […]
