Some days it just feels like the walls are closing in. I know that's my cue to shift my focus. I go to the Word and see what God has to say. The first two spoke to my heart and gave me peace. “Those who trust God's action in them find that God's Spirit is … Continue reading Wide open spaces
I guess as a young girl, I never got it. The whole blood brother thing. Blood brother can refer to two or more people not related by birth who have sworn loyalty to each other.

Sometimes you just need to let God's timing work in your life. I have been working on a post involving lament, and wanted to post it today, but the timing is not just right. So I will continue fine tuning it for a later date. So today, we are going to have more fun with … Continue reading Integrity

Friday, my best friend and I had our favorite, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in my office. I set up the card table, put out the place mats, put out all the fixin's and we were set.
