You Are

From light breaking through the darkness of night, To the wind that gently breezes and guides a child's kite. From the heartbeat at conception as a sign of new life, To milk in the breast of a mother whose infant holds tight. From every inhale and exhale as a our lungs breath in and out,Continue reading "You Are"

Wait on the Lord

Photo by Samrat Maharjan on Pexels.com Since leaving my job of 17 years in August 2018, I have been in a time of waiting. I have not been given instructions about my next career move or even if I will even return to my field. Although I have done several temporary jobs over the lastContinue reading "Wait on the Lord"

How Are You Living?

Last week, my sweet husband, asked me a very important question. He asked,"If you knew you were going to die soon, what would you do?" My mind immediately started to ponder the question. How would I live? What would I do differently? How would I decide to spend the rest of my time? All ofContinue reading "How Are You Living?"

A River Runs Through

Bring all your sorrow, your guilt, and your pain, Bring all your burdens, your fears, and your chains. Bring your disappointment and even every sin, Bring it all. It doesn't matter what shape you are in. Release, exhale, drop, let everything go, Because the answer is near and soon it shall flow. Full of allContinue reading "A River Runs Through"

Trust Him

This morning, I thank God for continuing to confirm His plan for my life. I just want to encourage you today. If God tells you to do something, do it regardless of how crazy it seems or how you/others may feel about it. Be wise. Every opportunity that sounds good may not be what GodContinue reading "Trust Him"

Pedestals

Pedestals were meant to bring objects up higher, Not for us to place men upon so we can admire. Nor to exalt ourselves above others and say look at me, Or put our lives on display for all the world to see. Who are we except filthy rags washed clean by lamb's blood? Or wretchesContinue reading "Pedestals"

Reflect

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com This week is Holy Week. It is the week that Jesus was on His way to a horrific death on a cross, accused, whipped, died on the cross, buried, and rose from the dead. I have been trying to simply meditate on what that must have felt like. How didContinue reading "Reflect"

The Goodness of God

Last week, I was blessed to be able to spend a few days by the ocean. While sitting on the beach, I looked out at the ocean. I could only see the shore where the water met the land but I could not see where it ended. All I could see was its vastness andContinue reading "The Goodness of God"

Will You Answer?

One of my pet peeves is being ignored. There is nothing more irritating than calling, texting, or speaking to someone and them not answering knowing you are talking to them. If it bothers me, I can only imagine how the Father feels when He is speaking and we fail to answer. I'm guilty of ignoringContinue reading "Will You Answer?"
