A Fast Completed and a Birthday Celebrated!
Last month was such a blessing! A powerful reminder that God’s Word never runs out of fuel, never disappoints, and is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). It can never be exhausted! It is never irrelevant! It is applicable for every situation! Morning by morning throughout the month of September (September Fast, 2022), God awakened … Continue reading A Fast Completed and a Birthday Celebrated!
Day Seventeen (September Fast, 2017)
Yesterday was 9-11 AND a Sunday as it was in 2017, my first year I began month long fastings from dairy and sugar. So, I decided to reblog my post from 2017 in memory of 9-11 and for a reminder of my first September fast!
Day 17
No sugar or dairy
Here I go again marveling about the awesome ways MY God works the events of our lives. When we enjoy the people He puts in our paths it certainly can be a buffer for taking our focus from food cravings. If you read my “Day Three” post, you know that Sundays are my favorite day of the week, and why. This morning, our pastor was especially motivated with the prospect of our joint heir’s status with Jesus. And as he admitted, we can’t really fathom what all that entails, let alone completely grasp. But we should be living in such a way as to give all of earth a correct estimate of what’s to come!
I love belonging to a great place to worship! And it is always interesting whom you just might see. In our Adult Bible Fellowship (Sunday School for…

Lost in Logic!
When we first heard the news that my sister-in-law had a rare stomach cancer and there was not much of a treatment plan, it made no sense.

The Pool of Bethesda
My hair is a matted, unkept mess and peering into the mirror is not for the faint of heart! I am trying to remember the last time I had a shower, or even a bath! I am beginning to feel like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5). Maybe a little exaggeration … Continue reading The Pool of Bethesda
Heartrending Storms
I was chosen to carry something heavy. In fact, I would need the assistance of flight attendants, trained health care individuals, a whole flight of passengers, and a sympathetic pilot! So much uncertainty was rolled into 2+ hours that I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. Why, LORD? After all, I was on … Continue reading Heartrending Storms
Celebratory Fast “Take 3”
At times we feel annoyed, and then there are times my husband and I are totally maddened! Living in the country especially during the summer months, the gnats torment us with every outside endeavor. We feel as though a remnant of the plagues of Egypt is visiting us. 😉 Nevertheless, we have found an even … Continue reading Celebratory Fast “Take 3”
Reports from the Homeland
After being abducted and taken captive to a foreign land, and spending many years in exile, this man is delivered a vital report concerning the condition of his homeland. Through a visit from a brother and some fellow countrymen, Nehemiah is given a dismal depiction of Jerusalem. A city disgraced without a wall nor gates … Continue reading Reports from the Homeland
The Potter’s Clay
Listen to me, if I could sit down with you and tell you all that has happened in my life, it would be one marveling session after another! Even I marvel, as I remember the hard, hard lessons that are a part of my story! As a hopelessly lopsided piece of earthenware wallowing deep in … Continue reading The Potter’s Clay

Have you ever driven across the country dodging potholes? Unfortunately, for cross country drivers, potholes can cause all sorts of disruptions to one's travels. So often I found my own journey in a pothole full of water. Sometimes these drowning craters engulfed my hope for survival. But through the power and plan of The Roadmaster … Continue reading The Roadmaster and His Roadmap!
