As I stretch to make it through this last week of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast, I remembered a book written by my pastor. Pulling it from the shelves, I eagerly began digesting the scenes described in detail of my Savior’s Last Week. Join me each day recalling what He experienced. Travel back … Continue reading Humble King & Messiah (Day 42)

“Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
The news hit me like a ton of bricks! How could anything good come from it? But just as soon as my thoughts started to go down the wrong road of “what if’s,” I immediately turned to the Lord asking for spiritual wisdom, and to give me eyes to see just as Elisha prayed for … Continue reading “Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
A Sweet Finale (Day 31)
This month of “no dairy, no sugar” has been super! and I would say, my best “fast” yet! While my writing daily is completed, my restrictions for my fast will continue until Easter, April 17. That Sunday will be a huge celebration of worshipping our resurrected Lord and breaking my fast with cheesecake (requested by … Continue reading A Sweet Finale (Day 31)
Sheer Delight (Day 30)
The desire is so strong! “Father, what can I put into my mouth to bring me joy?” Reading the Scriptures and picturing sitting at His feet, my first inclination is instant gratification for the craving of my taste buds: a creamy latte, a yummy scone, a hot cinnamon roll right out of the oven; on … Continue reading Sheer Delight (Day 30)
An Attitude for Gratitude (Day 29)
“Thank you, Gram!” I cannot tell you how those 3 words melt my heart! But they surely do! A face lighting and heartwarming experience like none other for a grandmother. So just think how much our Creator loves to hear gratitude dispatched from our lips. Suppose someone had to tell by your face if you … Continue reading An Attitude for Gratitude (Day 29)

Praise the Lord! … Continue reading Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me (Day 27)
Looking Back (Day 26)
Looking back over my posts from previous “no dairy, no sugar” fasts, I have been reminded of how graciously patient the Lord is with me. Time after time, He stoops down to encourage my heart even though I may be lagging. But He never stops pursuing as He lovingly draws me to Himself. And in … Continue reading Looking Back (Day 26)
Crooked and Perverse (Day 24)
Every day we hear something or see something that reminds us we are right on track with what the Bible has been saying all along. In the Apostle Paul’s day, he instructed for every believer to live blamelessly amidst a crooked and perverse generation of men and women. Their faithful service in such difficult times … Continue reading Crooked and Perverse (Day 24)
Timely Correspondence from Prison (Day 23)
Day 23 of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast As I sat trying to decide which direction to go – as far as my post for today is concerned – I received an email from my nephew in prison. Recently, I’ve encountered issues with the mail not getting to him and being returned with a … Continue reading Timely Correspondence from Prison (Day 23)
Not being Outwitted! (Day 22)
In yesterday’s post, Pushing My Panic Buttons, I shared how anxiety easily mounts into panic attacks if we are not on guard. We focused on 1 Peter 5:8 where the Apostle instructs us to be ALERT and “clear-headed.” If we are filled with anxious thoughts, fretting, worries of any kind, we will not be “clear-headed” … Continue reading Not being Outwitted! (Day 22)
