Trusting
The Greatest Test
Lying on my sofa, consumed with fear and shaking uncontrollably, I knew God was my only hope; my greatest need was to learn what it meant to trust Him with a child! That period in my life became the training ground from which endurance would be welded into my soul as even darker days of … Continue reading The Greatest Test
A Story to Tell!
When we look at life through the lens of our circumstances, we will get it wrong most every time~ God’s providential hand is at work throughout our lives, yet we get bogged down in externals, too focused on what we see and can touch. And sometimes we get so stuck in the muck and mire … Continue reading A Story to Tell!
Comfort Zone Vulnerabilities: The Long Way Home!
You might think making myself vulnerable to meet new people, or learning a new culinary skill, or pushing my rickety body to run, isn’t much of a repertoire for an out of the comfort zone way of life. But they are extremely uncomfortable. On the other hand, they remain barely classified as vulnerability when these … Continue reading Comfort Zone Vulnerabilities: The Long Way Home!

A Comfortable Life
As I consider a new year focus, I know without a doubt God’s Word is front and center. There is no other choice for me as God’s representative. I am a Herald of the King, an ambassador. As God’s chosen instrument to herald the gospel message of Jesus Christ, I must consider how I can … Continue reading A Comfortable Life
My Dentist Story: Trust God Because He Will Help
A visit to the dentist is not high on my list of what I want to do in a day. In fact, I get especially morbid and selfish by requesting the Lord take me home or rapture the Church NOW, so I don’t have to deal with the trauma of it all. Problem teeth, along … Continue reading My Dentist Story: Trust God Because He Will Help
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)
Aligned with God’s Heart
My pastor has quite eloquently taught through much of the Bible. And it is mostly his content I share concerning the biblical aspect of this post. We are not an island to ourselves, because it takes a redeemed community, as our faithfulness is interwoven with others, including, at times, those with whom we’ve experienced failure. … Continue reading Aligned with God’s Heart
