I Can Do This…
Have you ever gotten the bright idea that you can do something on your own? That’s where I found myself last week. I’m in the process of redoing my driveway, and at first, was going to do the whole area in the same material. But somehow, my heart longed for a specific type of walkway. […]
The Goodness of God
Earlier in the week, as I walked and talked to God, and processed my thoughts, a thought crossed my mind. Something along the lines of ‘gosh… I have experienced the goodness of God’. And then, a favorite verse popped into mind: Psalm 27:13-14, but I’ll share verse 13: I am still confident of this: I […]
Course Correct
I was talking with a friend recently and I was sharing that when we are seeking God for direction, if we are not on the right path, He will do a course correction. After we spoke, some more, he asked me to write on the topic. I jokingly said ‘I’m not too sure about that, […]
‘You’re Not Done With Me Yet’
As our praise team sang this line from a song that I’ve heard many times before, I heard the words ‘you’re not done with me yet… there’s so much more to this story’ and it felt as if they were talking to me. The words are from the song ‘More Than Able’ by Elevation Worship. […]
Reminders of God’s Faithfulness
Every now and again, I’ll read through old journals. For me, old can be as recently as last week, or ten years ago. After reading a few entries, it always leaves me in awe. While I’d tell anyone that I have a pretty good memory, I often don’t recall the level of detail that writing […]
Come Away With Me
This week was an incredible blessing. I got to travel with my daughter and her friend’s family. For the first time in many years, while away, I got to have devotion in a way that felt unhurried. I didn’t have internet connection for much of the time, and so, the distractions were few. Just me, […]
How are Your Roots?
I keep thinking I’ve gotten all the lessons from my gardening season and yet, they seem to still be coming. After my squabbles with the squirrel over the last few weeks, between the two of us, all the corn has been harvested. Unfortunately none of them had gotten to their full potential because they were […]
‘Our Pesky Little Varmints’
I’ve been reading my devotional Bible for many years. And this is the title of one of the devotions that I’ve read many times over. This particular Bible is a couples Bible that I’ve owned and the devotions center around creating healthy marriages. While I’ve read the story many times, the last few weeks the […]
Is it Real?
Is it Real? After meditating on what I would share, I finally thought I knew the topic. I opened the Notes section of my phone and started typing. As I typed the first few words, something felt just a bit off. I continued typing, but got the sense that I wasn’t writing in my usual […]
Exceedingly… Abundantly…
Over the years, I’ve added little things to my backyard to make it a little more cozy so I can enjoy sitting here. Last year, my dad and I built a covering for my deck. It was a desire that I’d had for many years, but never quite knew how I wanted to execute. When […]
