Be still
Sometimes I just need a good cry. Is there anything wrong? Not really. Maybe I’m just trying to force circumstances and situations that I have absolutely no control over. I’m used to being in control in most areas of my life. I’m this super independent woman who has known what I’ve wanted for a long […]
What do you need to let go of?
I’m in awe.. I keep thinking of the little girl in the picture with her little teddy and Jesus was asking her to give it up while he was holding a bigger one behind His back. That picture has been stuck in my mind for a few years now. I cried out to God, He […]
Will you still love me – if….
Will you still love me – if?… That was the message of a recent devotion. An 8 year old child was asking her mother that very important question as she was beginning to learn the consequences of behavior. My 3 year old daughter has a book called ‘I love you Stinky Face’. It’s one that […]
Faith
So, sometimes I can’t make this stuff up if I tried. I’m not a very imaginative person. But God is amazing and funny and knows our hearts and needs long before we do. Today is my sabbath, and normally by now I’d be dressed and even at church. But today is one of those days […]
God will provide
A few days after I wrote this one, it rained hard, and then the most beautiful double rainbow appeared it the sky. It was definitely confirmation that God keeps His promises. I just heard the story of Abraham, Sarah and Isaac, as told by the bible story app for kids. It brought me to tears. […]
Keep your eyes on the prize!
Yesterday used to be one of two strength training days at the gym. They recently changed Tuesdays to Zumba from Monday. While the instructor for Monday’s Zumba was great, it wasn’t to my liking, I needed a little more rhythm, even though I can’t even dance and can barely follow the routine. This particular Tuesday...
I call you Friend
‘When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock, lead me to the rock, that is higher than I.’ So many songs that we hear and sing that we do not know the context. I woke up yesterday morning with that song in my head. I don’t think my heart is overwhelmed, but it’s […]
Pimple popping
My friend and I were sitting at the dance studio while our girls were in class. It’s that time of year where there’s a lot of excitement in the air. The girls are in full costume, hair up in a bun and very well made up. We sat in fascination with the costumes and make […]
The rain brings forth good things
The rain is teaching me more and more each day. Before it used to be that I should be staying home because it’s raining. Well, it doesn’t quite work that way, but let me believe what I want. However, having moved to a new home a few months ago, it’s teaching me that if it […]
You are no longer needed
Today’s verse is on 1 Samuel 30, but before we go there, we have to start with 1 Samuel 29. As I started reading, I realized I needed further context. David had been on the battle field for well over a year. The princes of the Philistines started asking what David’s purpose was. Achish responded […]
