Each year as we celebrate The Nativity, especially since my husband’s ill-fated accident that totally changed our Christmas itinerary that year, I cry to the Lord for more of Christmas. I long for a fuller understanding of how the Christmas story affects every miniscule event of my life. However, the truth is, the trappings of … Continue reading Christmas and Colonoscopies; Wrapped up in Worship

Potty Training and Christmas Cookies
This post was originally written in 2017, while experiencing our first grandchild's potty training. It is quite ironic that we now are experiencing our seventh grandchild's potty training, and he just happens to be the brother of our first grandchild. https://thescarlettroad.com/2018/12/20/potty-training-and-christmas-cookies/?page_id=1743
A Christmas Consideration
While packing for an upcoming trip to Florida, I was busily scanning my book collection. My husband would be attending a conference, but I was to be blessed with “free time.” Hoping to experience a mini retreat by way of study and reflection, I prepared by inspecting book after book.

Jehovah Rohi: The LORD is my Shepherd
I cannot fully express how dispiriting it feels to come down off the mountain. But likely you know, just as Elijah knew (1 Kings 18:36-19:4)! This morning, after spending time in my study of God’s powerful names, I went upstairs and began dusting a dresser. I was struggling with many things, especially burdened after a … Continue reading Jehovah Rohi: The LORD is my Shepherd
Jehovah Tsada: The LORD of Hosts
This morning, I felt like one of the many standing in the valley of Elah gripped with fear. Yet I was determined to gain a fresh perspective, so I chose to draw nourishment from the Vine (the Lord Jesus Christ), and He indeed graciously renewed my mind with a much better outlook. The truth is … Continue reading Jehovah Tsada: The LORD of Hosts
Seventh September Dairy/Sugar Fast
In 2017 I began doing this fall fast because of stomach issues! Since that time there has been countless opportunities to share with others who were also dealing with pain and discomfort of the stomach. What a journey this has been! I am sharing seven previously written blog posts explaining why and how and so … Continue reading Seventh September Dairy/Sugar Fast
Jehovah Nissi: The Lord is our Banner!
The President’s wife at Carolina College of Biblical Studies (CCBS), where my husband serves, approached me several months ago concerning a prayer group she was feeling led to start. I really was not interested in adding to my weekly responsibilities. However, I knew that a prayer group would be God’s priority over some of the … Continue reading Jehovah Nissi: The Lord is our Banner!
