Jars of Clay
I was not planning for my next post to be about this, but maybe I’m not the only one that needs to hear it. With everything that has been going on in this nation, and the world at large for that matter, I found myself reflecting on my life more often than in previous years, […]

He walks with me
I was recently reminded, as I was about to walk into a difficult situation, that I am not walking alone. That no matter what I will face, or what is behind that closed door, I have somebody walking besides me. I do not have to fear. The Lord is my Shepherd; I lack nothing. He […]

Lessons from Mary
The sun shines brightly outside, but there’s a chill in the air. A cold front has hit unexpectedly, and it will last a few days. The hope of an early spring has vanished quite rapidly. But, there is hope. Spring will come. Maybe not when we want, but it will come. There is an appointed […]

Strength for the Journey
As the day transitions to night, my heart got stirred and did not have peace until these words were written down. I wrote it as a letter of encouragement for the reader that needs to know that God is still in control. So here it is… Hey there soul. Know that you are not forgotten. […]

A Time for Everything
He has made EVERYTHING beautiful in its time. – Ecclesiastes 3:11 Over the years I’ve gotten impatient numerous times waiting on certain things to take place…things such as learning a certain skill, finding a job, finishing college, receiving healing when sick, getting into a relationship, and so on.

For such a time as this
I know it’s been some time since I wrote something on here. Usually it takes me a while to finalize something, but tonight everything came together fast. I felt the urge to share what I read. Growing up in a Christian family I was exposed to the stories of the Bible from a young age. […]

Some say a picture is worth a thousand words…
I really enjoy the outdoors, even though with this heat wave that does not seem to end, I dread going outside some days. I can’t say I am a nature fanatic though…a hike from time to time is enough for me. Recently though, I was on a trip in the mountains and I had to […]

Story time
I have a Christmas song stuck in my head…for almost a week now. I woke up with it one morning and since then I haven’t been able to get away from it. I’ve had it on repeat some days and the chorus keeps resounding in my mind…it’s like the words are more real now than […]

Mirror mirror on the wall
Most of the pollen is gone by now…so my dear readers enjoy it…at least until the next round comes. Summer’s high heats are sneaking up on us just about right now here in the south. On a recent trip with the youth from my church I was reminded of something from my childhood. I used […]

A season for blooming
Spring is here. Along with the warmth of the sun, the breezy nights, the bulbs coming out of the ground, the trees blooming and the not so very welcome yellow pollen (mainly here in the South I hear). Spring makes me think of hope, of breakthrough. It gives me a feeling of new beginnings…probably because […]
