Dear Friends, the sun has risen blasting its beams across my screen as I type this message! "...Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Do everything without complaining … Continue reading A Bright Shining Light!

Pick and Choose!
Feeling an attack for truth, God’s truth, I awake at night unable to go back to sleep. It isn’t until I suitably appropriate the WHOLE armor, God’s full armor (Ephesians 6:10-18), that I find peace. Yet I still find myself wrestling with the outcome. Have you experienced trying to go back to sleep with a … Continue reading Pick and Choose!
A Treasured Birthday!
What a whirlwind of a month this has been! October 2024 will not be quickly forgotten. Not only am I writing in my tenth year of blogging, but I achieved an age I never dreamed of reaching. Born in 1962, I turned 62 years old October 8, 2024! Early in the month, just two days … Continue reading A Treasured Birthday!
Strength through Suffering
Does strength through suffering sound appealing? I’m not talking about the suffering in working your physical body to make it strong but suffering through hardships that produce eternal benefits. And to be honest, though I wanted something flashier and more inspiring the Lord kept drawing me back to this topic of strength acquired through suffering. … Continue reading Strength through Suffering
A Praise Report of Sorts: Sense & Sensibility
I promised a report on my Eighteen Day Fasting Challenge; A pledge I decided to try for the month of August and September. You can read here where I explain the process. So, in preparation of this great “PRAISE Report” I had my dear hubby capture a picture of me jumping with prodigious success. Well, … Continue reading A Praise Report of Sorts: Sense & Sensibility
Created with a Purpose!
Our oldest grand is a uniquely designed, high functioning individual, finding his spot on the autistic spectrum. This eight-year-old knows and loves God and has been indoctrinated in the hymnal! He is the reason hymns reverberate in my head at all hours of the night (or day)! He has brought so many life lessons into … Continue reading Created with a Purpose!
A lifetime of Claims!
What will my fiery furnace look like today? I can never know what I will pass through in a day, but what I do know for certain is that no matter how dark, or how deep, or how hot, no matter how time consuming, my Savior and Sustainer will be there to walk me through … Continue reading A lifetime of Claims!
Deep Calls to Deep
Do you remember singing “I’m in the Lord’s Army!” as a child? Unfortunately, many of us have grown up with the idea of marching to a different beat. Our battle armor has been traded in for what is in style. While chasing after opulent living, and the affluent society, we have become “Cruise liner” Christians. … Continue reading Deep Calls to Deep
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
Three Mile An Hour!
Each Wedding Anniversary I wondered, “Will this be the year he gets faster?” My husband has never been one to get in a hurry. Not only does he move at a snail’s pace, but his spoken words are usually well rehearsed in his mind before they ever roll from his tongue. God placed within my … Continue reading Three Mile An Hour!
