In Awe of God, Even in Death
I stand in awe of Who God is and what He does! There is no one greater or higher! He has created it all and oversees it all! Choose you this day whom you will serve, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord! There’s no one higher or more deserving! Driving … Continue reading In Awe of God, Even in Death
a Wednesday Fast & a Wednesday Goodbye! (July 24, 2024)
Today as I was observing my Wednesday Fast, I received an anxious call from my mother several States over. In 2015, when my dad died and I began this blog, I knew writing would bring healing, but what I did not know was God’s plan to continue taking my loved ones home! This life is … Continue reading a Wednesday Fast & a Wednesday Goodbye! (July 24, 2024)
Heavenward!
You took her home [three] years ago. Our hearts were broken in two! Yet a strong desire to be there grew. To know and experience what she now knew. Her journey's end found an eternal beginning. 1There's a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar, For the Father … Continue reading Heavenward!
Gerald Smith, aka Bro. Smith, aka Uncle Jerry
As a small-town girl growing up in Reeves, Louisiana, I certainly felt the impact of unique individuals graciously positioned in my life. While still very young, there was not much to experience but for our hometown church. In those days of small-town life, a pastor’s family was central. God’s providential plan included a man. He … Continue reading Gerald Smith, aka Bro. Smith, aka Uncle Jerry
The Lord’s Servant
We received word a couple nights ago that a friend, who performed our marriage ceremony, and whom we worked alongside as missionaries with Child Evangelism Fellowship the first 15 months of our marriage, died. Totally unexpected. A routine knee surgery but a blood clot. The trials and sorrows that many are facing seem to be … Continue reading The Lord’s Servant
Odd Moments of True Worship
My dear hubby, Rodrigo, as I affectionately refer to him, calls my car a “zoom-zoom” car because it has a power-packed engine and a moon roof which circulates the breezes as we zoom down the country roads. The other day as I gazed out the window from the passenger seat, my heart silently sung to … Continue reading Odd Moments of True Worship
Every Story Matters
Here’s a story of a girl from my “one-flashing-light” hometown. She was two grades ahead of me in school. We didn’t attend the same church, so regrettably, I didn’t get to personally know her well, but everyone referred to her affectionately as “Little Lynn.” Jacquetta “Lynn” Miller was born in 1960 on March 24. She … Continue reading Every Story Matters
Our Salvation is Nearer Now!
“When an English vicar was asked by a colleague what he expected after death, he replied, ‘Well, if it comes to that, I suppose I shall enter into eternal bliss, but I really wish you wouldn’t bring up such depressing subjects’” (Heaven, by Randy Alcorn). Death is something I sure NEVER wanted to talk about … Continue reading Our Salvation is Nearer Now!
The Last Goodbye!
Some memories grow in perspective. Like the end of 2014! Rodney and I drove to Alabama (from North Carolina) to spend a few days with family who were driving from Louisiana to meet up with us. We were looking forward to a big Louisiana gathering for July 4th, 2015 like we had experienced in 2013. … Continue reading The Last Goodbye!
