There are some days I just astound myself. It is at times like these that I am overwhelmed with gratitude of what Jesus did for me. Someone said something mean and accusing and before I knew it I reacted in a bad way. “ I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what … Continue reading We all have choices
I'm sure we've all had an encounter with a person like this. They know absolutely everything about everything, and are not at all bashful about sharing their advice and opinions about the situation. Nobody likes a know-it-all. It is especially irritating when the start with, “Well if it were me...” and proceed to tell you … Continue reading Know-it-all
Recently we were watching an old Western movie, and the folks in the wagon train were grateful that they made it across the swollen stream safely. So they stopped to praise God. (Don't see that in many movies nowadays!) One gentleman was very enthusiastic, singing loudly and off key, but he didn't care, he was … Continue reading A classic re-imagined

I guess that's why I love the line in the song Away in a Manger that says “the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.” So when I read this the other day about His precious … Continue reading A fall to my knees moment

I actually began unpacking it after my mom passed. Slowly, as the Holy Spirit brought things to remembrance, … Continue reading Repeat after me
Some days you just get overwhelmed. Today I mean it in a good way. I was reading something and was overwhelmed by the goodness of God. To identify is defined as to recognize someone or something and say or prove who or what that person or thing is. It can also mean to feel and … Continue reading Identify
Taking the time to go deeper is proving to be life changing for me this year. On Easter, my best friend and I decided we would pick one Scripture verse a week and memorize it. In doing so, I have been meditating on each verse throughout the week and ask God to reveal what else … Continue reading Going Deeper
This just in!I'm having a fantastic day! The work of my hands is fulfilling God's purpose for me, others, and is bringing Him the glory. I've been a blessing by encouraging others today. In turn, I've been encouraged by others. I'm vital and alive and full of the joy of the Lord. Because of what … Continue reading Breaking news!
The more I'm digging into my Bible study on Communion, that more God is revealing to me. I am going to share the actual study with you when I have it all sorted out on how to present it in blog fashion, I promise. But in the meantime, I still get little glimmers of things … Continue reading Unconditionally
