Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
As I went about my day, this song started playing in my head. I can’t say I was thinking about it, or that I’d even recently heard it. It had been quite a few hours since I’d heard any music, but here was this song playing in my head. As I sat down, I realized […]
Two Are Better Than One
I recently bought a storage box that arrived and needed to be put together. I was actually excited about the prospect and looking forward to it as I’d read a review that someone took about twenty minutes. When mine arrived, I took it out to my deck and decided the easiest way to get it […]
Rest
My pastor has been focused on a message of ‘Rest’ for the month of May. It’s been refreshing to hear this kind of message preached from the pulpit or on a Wednesday night prayer meeting. Each time I hear the message, it causes me to ponder and think of my own set of instructions ‘Be still and […]
Go At Your Own Pace
Last week I shared about tackling a stretch of road that had terrified me for years. I had always driven along the route as a passenger and thought to myself, this might be more than I can handle – until I decided to stop letting fear have that much control over my life. After I […]
Being Courageous
I’ve had a long standing fear of driving in Jamaica. The first time I drove there, it was on tiny, hilly roads and I had a small fender bender. I told myself I didn’t need to drive there and stuck with that thought. That was over 20 years ago. Add in my driving anxiety from […]
When God Answers in Unexpected Ways
God cares about the things that you care about. Last week, my daughter had been begging me for something. Like begging. I told her no. She went so far as to pray that God would answer her prayer. I chuckled and thought – this is one prayer that God isn’t going to answer, because I’m […]

Building a Firm Foundation
I saw the title for the month for our sabbath school and the verse came back to me: Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. It’s even under lined in my Bible. For a few years, I had it written on an 8 by 10 sheet of paper in a place […]
Do Not Be Anxious
I started a new devotion from the Bible app titled ‘Redeeming Your Time’. The app has a great number of devotions on just about any topic that you can think of. This particular devotion hit home as a friend was just telling me some of the same concepts earlier in the week as we’re discussing […]
Serve Where You Are
When I just started feeling called to speak and write, I received an email from Proverbs 31 to attend the She Speaks Conference. By the time I started following the organization, it was too late to attend the first year, so I made a mental note that I would attend the following year. The notice […]
