My Nephew & The Line UP!
Hearing from my nephew in prison or getting an update through my sister (his mother), I never tire of hearing what amazing work the Lord is accomplishing. However, there are those times when I fall on my face crying out for God’s great hand of protection or deliverance even from a line up. Those are … Continue reading My Nephew & The Line UP!
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
September Fast – He responded!
During a fast, when I am purposely asking the Lord to show me more of Him and less of me, you never know where it will take you. One place has been to a text message my 23-year-old nephew sent me just 17 days before he died. As I read it, I could not keep … Continue reading September Fast – He responded!
September Fast: A VITAL MESSAGE
How did I get here? What led me to start a “dairy, sugar fast" in 2017? At the time I thought it was the health issues I was experiencing. But now, I know without a doubt, it was the providential hand of God. I may never fully understand His methods, but I am so grateful … Continue reading September Fast: A VITAL MESSAGE
Lost in Logic!
When we first heard the news that my sister-in-law had a rare stomach cancer and there was not much of a treatment plan, it made no sense. When she was taken to her eternal home January 24, 2021, it made no sense. When my nephew was diagnosed with Leukemia just 7 months after his mom … Continue reading Lost in Logic!
The Pool of Bethesda
My hair is a matted, unkept mess and peering into the mirror is not for the faint of heart! I am trying to remember the last time I had a shower, or even a bath! I am beginning to feel like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5). Maybe a little exaggeration … Continue reading The Pool of Bethesda
Heartrending Storms
I was chosen to carry something heavy. In fact, I would need the assistance of flight attendants, trained health care individuals, a whole flight of passengers, and a sympathetic pilot! So much uncertainty was rolled into 2+ hours that I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience. Why, LORD? After all, I was on … Continue reading Heartrending Storms
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!
The Potter’s Clay
Listen to me, if I could sit down with you and tell you all that has happened in my life, it would be one marveling session after another! Even I marvel, as I remember the hard, hard lessons that are a part of my story! As a hopelessly lopsided piece of earthenware wallowing deep in … Continue reading The Potter’s Clay
