When waiting becomes hard
I woke up at 3:30 this morning. Don’t feel bad, this was actually a good night, I hadn’t woken up multiple times before that like I had been doing recently, so this was pretty good. As I’m still wearing my eye shield after surgery (last night), my eyes were finding it hard to adjust. I […]
God has chosen you!
This morning when I woke up, I thought I was going to be sharing on obedience. God has such a sense of humor. But alas, it’s not, or maybe it is. I’m choosing to be obedient that I have a different topic to share, rather than what I thought it would be, and going with […]
Vision
I woke up yesterday morning a little anxious, and not being able to see that well. While my prescription was never terrible, I’m near sighted and have been for most of my adult life. While I don’t need glasses to read, I need it to watch tv and drive, and really, to see anything that’s […]
King David
I’m not a theologian, so please forgive me if I don’t get all the details right. I’m just a girl struggling to learn more and excited to share my devotion with you. I opened my bible to the devotion related to 1 Chronicles 12:23-40. This passage is titled ‘others join David at Hebron’. It goes […]
The canvas of life
Last weekend I had the pleasure of being invited to a paint party to celebrate my friend’s birthday. It was something that always looked interesting, but I’d never been invited to one before, and never thought to actually go find a class myself. It was both fun and interesting and I’d like to share my […]
Unloved
I think you already know how I feel about sharing stories that are truly personal and feel private to me. I don’t like it. Not one bit. But I think someone needs to hear this. I went out to celebrate with my girlfriend this weekend and we took lots of pictures. On the way home, […]
Faith
I started praying yesterday about what to share. It seemed as if nothing came to mind. As I laid in bed in the quiet of the early morning, still asking God what I needed to share – still nothing. The thought occurred to me to get up anyway. It’s in the quiet of the morning […]
Paying attention
I’m learning that I have to be extra careful of what I do in front of my daughter. A few nights ago, as we laid there right before bed, our stories read and our prayers said, she starts telling me bible stories. She first shares with me the one about the little girl who had […]
He wants it all
Shortly after I began writing, I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with a song in my head. It was a song that I’d probably only heard twice, but the words were so distinct as I laid there that I had to get up. It says: ‘There’s a voice that cries out […]
If I told you my story
Sometimes I’m starting to think that if I told you my story, that you wouldn’t believe and you’d think I made it up. Actually, these days the conclusion I’ve come up with is ‘I couldn’t make this up if I tried’. I just can’t make this stuff up. Yesterday morning was one of those mornings....
