Speak To My Heart
I woke up asking the Lord for today’s topic. I started saying ‘speak to my heart’ as a request to know what to do, and my mind started hearing the words from this not so recent song. Are you in the midst of a situation and you don’t know whether to turn to the right […]
The Way I Will Show You
Almost every time I preach, the story or Abraham comes up. I can’t say it is or was intentional, but I am drawn to this Bible character. Abraham fascinates me. It may be because his call seems so vague, and yet, Abraham got up and did what God requested of Him. Genesis 12:1 states The […]
Keep Going Anyway
I just read today’s Intouch devotion that confirmed my thoughts on what to share today. This past week I’ve been receiving notifications from Facebook that my posts are being removed. The notice as to why has been very vague. If you know me, you know I’m very careful about what I post – both on […]
Where is Your Voice?
While I had a great time away, I ended up returning with a very bad cold. For me, that’s not so unusual, and ordinarily isn’t a big deal, except this time it seemed to get progressively worse, and then ultimately caused me to lose my voice – which as far as I can remember, would […]
Always Better Than Expected
On relatively short notice, I decided to plan a cruise out of New York with my daughter for her winter recess. I have long recognized that the days are long, but the years are short and it’s becoming more real with each passing day. Because of the short notice, the trip was just to be […]
Extreme Measures
If you’re anything like me, I go to God and ask Him to solve a problem. As I always have my planning hat on, I also go with how the thing should be solved. Please tell me I’m not the only one. What I’ve noticed is that the way I ‘suggest’ He executes is never […]
‘Is There Anything Too Hard For the Lord?’
On Wednesday of this week, that was the anchor scripture of one of my daily devotions. It’s found in Genesis 18:14 and Jeremiah 32:27. Whenever I see this verse, it feels like a heavy hitter from God as those were words that He whispered clearly to my heart some years ago. I sat with it […]
Kindness Always Comes Back
When I was growing up, a grandmotherly figure shared that when we are kind, it always finds a way back to us, even if it’s not from the place where we first shared that kindness. I have kept this thought in the back of my mind for over 30 years. While this lady is now […]
Load the Dishwasher
Some weeks ago, I was hanging out with a mom friend and we were cooking together. As we were in the kitchen, and finished one thing, she would rinse the bowl or item and load it in the dishwasher. I stood there marveling. And asked her about it. She explained that her process was to […]
Forget The Former Things
Somehow as the new year has started, I’ve been camping out in Isaiah 43:16-19 and it states: This is what the Lord says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters,17 who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and...
