Through tears I verbally expressed the agonizing grief that held its grip on me. An internal war was raging, and I needed a friend to hear. She not only heard me “spill my guts,” (which is what it feels like at times when the grief is so intense) but she also asked to pray. How … Continue reading Never Again!
Prayer
Pressing On
A little poem I have often read comes from my Streams in the Desert devotional book: When obstacles and trials seem Like prison walls to be, I do the little I can do And leave the rest to Thee. And when there seems no chance, no change, From grief can set me free, Hope finds … Continue reading Pressing On
Personal Shopper!
I love to shop! And a lot of that shopping is for the eight grandchildren who call us “Gram” and “Pop” besides the bonus of three foster godsends. I have no problem spending hours scouring for the best bargain, while praying along the way for the Lord to help me find exactly what is needed. … Continue reading Personal Shopper!

Psalm 118:24 Will you sit with me for a moment to think carefully about this verse?

That’s A Wrap!
This March “Fast” is pretty much a wrap, and in a couple of days I will be sharing some big news! Please understand I cannot boast about anything except what my Heavenly Father, and the prompting of the Spirit for this month’s motto “Closer to Your Heart,” has indeed accomplished.

Closer to Your Heart Through Prayer, An Easter Fast!
Growing up in the deep south, despite the heat, I looked forward to attending Bible camp each summer. That very first summer altered my life forever when I trusted in Jesus for eternal life and experienced the forgiveness of my sins. Thus, I was born again like the Apostle John illustrates through the dialogue of … Continue reading Closer to Your Heart Through Prayer, An Easter Fast!
Worship flows from my heart as my cup overflows …
For years, I struggled with praying. I felt unworthy and vulnerable; Hypocritical and pharisaical; Repetitive and wearisome! Then, my heavenly Father allowed an astronomical number of trials and tribulations to enter my life, forcing prayer to become a necessity motivated by the extreme conditions that now held me captive. From what the Lord permitted; a … Continue reading Worship flows from my heart as my cup overflows …
The Third “P”
“Rodrigo” (as I like to call him) and I had a lovely cookout the other day! The food was great, and the company was amusing 😉 but what thrilled me the most was the peaceful setting. No thoughts of a “Lockdown” or even a “virus;” No worry or care “called in” to interrupt that peace-filled … Continue reading The Third “P”
