Reaping What You Sow
As my mom prepared for her sabbath school duties, she called me and asked if I could take part with a specific portion. The topic being discussed was ‘reaping what you sow’. Don’t tell her that I really wanted to say ‘no’ but because she’s my mom and would do anything for me, I said […]
I Lack Nothing
As I contemplated this week’s topic and opened my Bible for a clue, I stumbled on Psalm 23. I was instantly reminded of a phrase that has been on my heart for a while: ‘I lack nothing’. I know there is another version, also in Psalms, so I flipped until I found it. Psalm 34:8-10 […]
There is Good News on the Other Side
This year, my desire for planting things seems to be the strongest it’s ever been. In the past, my idea of planting was to put some seeds in the ground, sometimes, even after the suggested time, or, as an impulse thought, to buy some tomato sucklings and plant them. After seeing my Mother’s Day gift […]
Trust and Obey
As I know I’ve written on both these topics of trust and obedience many times over the years, I decided to search my archives. Nothing with this topic. However, I did find instances of my trust and obedience or lack of trust and obedience. Let me share one such example of my disobedience that I […]
Bloom at Your Pace
As I look out the window, I notice my tree is still bare. This spring it seems as if everything is developing at their own pace more so than I’ve ever noticed before. As I’ve walked through the park for my usual walks, some trees are in full bloom, while others don’t even have visible […]
Joy For The Journey
As I ended one devotion and started looking for a new one in the Bible App, one called ‘Joy for the Journey’ stood out. The author referenced a year that meant something to me. 2015. I thought back to my own 2015 and it was as such a year of transition and the beginning of […]
My God Did Not Fail
I woke up this morning with the chorus of a song on my heart. The song is titled ‘The Story I’ll Tell’ by Naomi Raines. As I prayed for my topic, another devotion mentioned God not failing. I know firsthand what it looks and feels like as you walk through a situation that looks nothing like you […]
I Will Trust You
As I started my spring cleaning early, which I can’t explain because I’m not a spring cleaning kind of girl, I got the idea that I should buy a new shelf. I looked and looked and bought something that I ended up returning because the quality was not good. I determined that maybe, I didn’t […]
Changing Seasons
For my birthday last year, my mom gifted me a beautiful Cala Lily plant in my favorite color, yellow. As fall approached, the flowers and leaves started dying. I checked to see if it was a plant that would be an all year plant and it was. No matter how I tried to care for […]
Be Strong and Courageous
As I prayed and waited for today’s topic, nothing seemed to come. With barely an hour before the post goes out, I still had not given up, trusting that God would provide a fresh message – for you, and for me. I’d gone directly to the devotion I was studying in the Bible app as […]
