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 […]
Being strong
I’ve heard a few times lately how strong I am. First of all, thank you for thinking that. And I have to laugh and think to myself, if only you knew. Over the last few years, I’ve had to rely so heavily on God’s love, and that’s where my strength may have emerged. While I’ve […]
Making yourself a priority
The last 18 months have been an incredible part of my journey. With some of the changes that occurred in my life, there was no room left in my life to take care of myself in the preceding two years. 2014 was one of the most difficult years I can remember ever facing. Everything seemed […]
Be still and know that I am God
Even now the thought comes to me, ‘be still and know that I am God’. Sometimes we need to sit quietly, with no other distractions around us to hear that still, calm voice, calling us to do what he requires of us. Lately, slowly coming to the realization that I’m being called to something greater. […]
The big waves will come
The last few summers have changed drastically for me. I can’t even tell you that I really remember how I spent my summers before I became a mother. I’m sure I did stuff and enjoyed my summers as best I could. I love the warm weather, so I was likely out and about. But my […]
Being Thankful
I remember the summer of 1997, I was home in Jamaica, so I remember it well. Oprah had a program on being thankful, and taking note of the things we were grateful for. I was going through a time of uncertainties – I was a teenager then, but yes, there were things that were beyond […]
Cast your cares on Him
I really debated whether to post today. I’ve been feeling so so lately. I’m being reminded that I’m on a journey, and if I’m to chronicle my journey to help someone else – every day won’t be such a great day, and it’s ok to admit that. Where we get into trouble is always trying […]
Let’s not forget
I know I seem to keep writing about Moses and Israel, particularly when they were on their journey to the promised land. I guess I can say I’m on a similar journey and find myself with some of the issues the Israelites faced. Again, not so extreme, but mainly in the remembering, forgetting and trusting […]
