In my last post, I was talking about being on the struggle bus. Yesterday I asked God for some encouragement. He was happy to answer. First, in my morning devotion time, I read two verses that were completely spot on for my situation. Next, at my office, I had someone come in who said we … Continue reading Isn’t that just like Him?
I'm reading a book called Extravagant Grace. It has six different authors. One of them is Barbara Johnson. (1927-2007) One of her sections included something that grabbed me. “In your darkest hours, listen to Jesus saying, 'Been there. Done that.'

One of my first visits to my husband's grandparent's house, was an eye-opener for me. I was helping her make dinner, and we down into the basement to get something for our preparations.

This is in modern times usually done in a ceremony, known as a blood oath, where each person makes a … Continue reading Scars
Once again, it happened to me. And I love when it does. I read a verse that everyone knows, and we kinda blow over it when we read it, because it is so familiar. But this week, BAM! Romans 8:28-29 hit home afresh. The part that stuck out was “God foreknew me.” Defined, foreknow is … Continue reading Once again…
My small group decided to go through Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible. This week we had an introduction session to go over some cool things, which I shall share with you now. Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem/song. Here's how it works. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Each section … Continue reading Poetic
Wow, it's been a busy month since I last posted. But I can say with great confidence that I have marked another notch on my gun, just like in the American West. Another tax season is put down! I printed my list of extensions on April 16th, put them in a folder, and moved them … Continue reading Celebration!
