Looking for God’s hands in situations
I already shared with you how I’ll write down a title then have nothing to say on said topic for days or weeks. This title is 6 weeks old and it still amazes me when all the thoughts come together and I look through my notes and realize there was already a title, just […]
Being obedient
Oy! This morning I struggled with what I was to share. It’s still in the wee hours of the morning, but it’s also the quietest time in my home. I honestly didn’t want to get out of bed. I got to bed well after midnight, and if you know me, you know I turn into […]
It’s not about you!
Yesterday was a busy day at work for me. It was also my birthday, which meant a busy evening as well. As I was rushing home, I knew I needed to thank everyone for their well wishes, as I’d had no time during the day. The thought also occurred to me that I didn’t know […]
Falling apart or falling into place?
I celebrate my birthday this week, and I’m excited about it. I love my birthdays. Two years ago, exactly around this time, I didn’t think I had much to celebrate. My life felt like it was falling a part. I had been struggling in many parts of my life, which is unusual. Usually, even when […]
Samson
I recently heard the story of Samson from a very different perspective. While this got my attention, I was confused. The stories that I had heard of Samson growing up was the general ‘Samson and Delilah’ and how she bothered him enough for him to finally give away his secret that his hair should never […]
Going the distance
This morning, one of my devotions was entitled “When You’re Running on Empty”. And the person shared with us how she liked to cut it close to running on empty when she needed gas for her car. She’d drive her car literally well past the empty light coming on – and on one such instance, […]
Fearing Change
Sometimes I will write down a title and nothing comes for days or weeks. Today’s title was written down on 8/18, about 3 weeks ago, but it finally came to me this morning. A friend sent me a meme yesterday with a conversation occurring between two caricatures: Growth and Comfort. Growth says to Comfort – […]
My fault
I really debated all week whether to share with you about my cold sore. After all, talking about cold sores are definitely not fun. But I want to share with you the things it has taught me over the course of the week. Ever since I was little, I got cold sores. They are painful […]
Tunnels
Today, I took my daughter into the city. It’s not her first trip in, but she’s always so excited when she gets a chance to ride either the Long Island Rail Road or the subway or any combination. She gets excited about traveling – actually, she loves traveling anywhere. For some reason, today we made […]
Reminders
This morning I found every reason to complain. I woke up feeling frustrated. Actually, I was alternating between being frustrated and being joyful. I don’t even know if that makes sense to you, but it’s been making more and more sense to me with each passing day. I received the early morning text from my […]
