Listening to my conversations
You ever get the feeling that someone is listening in on your conversations? No, I promise I’m not paranoid. But lately, I believe God has really been listening to some of my ‘private’ conversations. I’ll give you a few examples. On Monday, I had a conversation on correction. It wasn’t a bad conversation, it...
Green thumbs
I’ve already shared with you that I planted a garden around a week after Mother’s Day. I planted both flowers and vegetables. This is the first time I’ve ever planted anything. Before, the only time I ever paid attention to my mother’s plants was when she went away on vacation, and I did it begrudgingly […]
Our needs
This morning I really wanted to share with you about the sparrows and how God takes care of these little birds, but instead I have something else to share. Now that I think about it, I can still see that God is taking care of this little sparrow named Kaysi. I don’t spend that much […]
Thy will be done
Recently I heard for the first time a song called ‘Thy will be done’ by Hillary Scott and the Scott Family on the radio. Before the DJ played the song, he announced that it had been written after she had had a miscarriage and had been hurting badly. While I don’t know what it’s like […]
Make me over
For many years I have passed the same broken down, almost decrepit home. The grass each summer was almost always overgrown. This in itself is unusual because it’s such a residential area on a main street in my neighborhood. You can tell that no one has lived there for many years and the place was […]
Trust Him
My daughter turns 4 today. And it seems fitting that I share with you the other parts of the miracle that occurred at that time. Facebook reminded me that I had posted on July 25th, the day before she was delivered, “Lord, please remind me that I am your child and I have nothing to […]
Our heroes
My daughter turns 4 in two days. Each year for these last 4 years I become more pensive and even more thankful around this time of year. You see, it’s July, my daughter was due the end of September. She was born a full 9 weeks before her actual due date. I went from what […]
Good intentions
Today’s Proverbs 31 devotion was entitled “When Good Intentions Get in the Way” and as I laid in bed pondering the times I had good intentions and how they turned out – usually not so great. I think this devotion, while it was supposed to make me think, it was also to make me stop […]
Slow down
Every now and again, I find that my life takes a life of its own. I find myself running from the moment I’m out of bed, and sometimes I’m mentally running before I get out of bed, until the moment I put my head down. Usually by then I’m too exhausted to do any more […]
Am I good enough?
I went to bed last night knowing what my topic was going to be for today’s thought. This topic has been sitting in my notes with just a topic and without having any material to support it, but God must know that someone (including myself) needs to hear it, because it’s 4:45 on a Sunday […]
