This morning, I felt like one of the many standing in the valley of Elah gripped with fear. Yet I was determined to gain a fresh perspective, so I chose to draw nourishment from the Vine (the Lord Jesus Christ), and He indeed graciously renewed my mind with a much better outlook. The truth is … Continue reading Jehovah Tsada: The LORD of Hosts

Not so “merry” Christmas
I find myself doctoring the hubby, again!, this time for a bad cold he has borne for 2 weeks, and it has now spiraled into BAD, BAD! So, reinforcements were called in, an antibiotic and cough meds. Though, the drive to CVS brought blaring thoughts that needed to be tackled~ thoughts of feeling sorry for … Continue reading Not so “merry” Christmas
When God’s Answer Hurts!
After the loss of a loved one, doing mundane things, like the wash, seems to be so robotic. Hanging clean laundry in my closet, I turned to leave when my 6-year-old grandson (who had followed me) asked what all those notes were on the wall of my closet. I gasped as soon as I noticed! … Continue reading When God’s Answer Hurts!
Looking Back (Day 26)
Looking back over my posts from previous “dairy & sugar fasts," I'm reminded of how graciously patient the Lord is with me. Time after time, He stoops down to encourage my heart even though I often lag behind. He never gives up on me, and He never stops pursuing as He lovingly draws me to … Continue reading Looking Back (Day 26)
Timely Correspondence from Prison (Day 23)
Day 23 of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast As I sat trying to decide which direction to go – as far as my post for today is concerned – I received an email from my nephew in prison. Recently, I’ve encountered issues with the mail not getting to him and being returned with a … Continue reading Timely Correspondence from Prison (Day 23)
PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!
As we toured Washington D.C. with all the rich history throughout, the Smithsonian Institute held a most captivating piece: the Hope Diamond. According to the Smithsonian Institute, the Hope Diamond is priceless because it is irreplaceable. In April of 2015, I began writing on the Scarlett Road recording reflections in order to let my “little” … Continue reading PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!
His Desire for Me
So much of this earthly life is lived in limbo! Like when you are waiting nine months for a baby to be born, not to mention twenty-seven hours of labor to meet that new baby, like my youngest daughter pulled off! And almost as bad, is the waiting for text messages reassuring you everything is … Continue reading His Desire for Me
HE ANSWERED!
T his evening, I went out my backdoor and gazed around the corner of the house inspecting the sunset. I wanted to take it all in. Just a few hours earlier, our family was given some amazing news. And that impressive sunset held me spellbound reinforcing the presence of a relational God. There are so … Continue reading HE ANSWERED!
Trusting God’s Sovereign Hand
Thinking back over the past several months, I see God’s sovereign hand in all that transpired. God’s sovereign hand led me to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas (2020) in Louisiana with my sister-in-law and family. Then, orchestrating my return just in time on January 24, to spend the last 3 hours of this earthly life with … Continue reading Trusting God’s Sovereign Hand
Beggared or Refined
I pleaded with God not to take her! But she quietly stopped breathing, her pulse growing more and more distant until it was no more. “Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God” (Colossians 3:1). We have been given a command and yet we seldom are diligently, … Continue reading Beggared or Refined
