Our journey is narrowing but where we turn is the same. We're thankful for the promise of His sustaining power (Psalm 55:22).

A Hope of Rescue!
You can never fully express with words the pain of one’s suffering, for the one suffering as well as those watching. God’s gifts, yes, even the gift of suffering, serve a purpose in our becoming Christ-like (Romans 8:29, 1 Peter 1:6-16). Jesus learned obedience through the things He suffered (Hebrews 5:8), Job learned how to … Continue reading A Hope of Rescue!
GUTS & GLORY
The last 41 days of 2020, which included Thanksgiving and Christmas, I spent over one thousand miles from home. I had mixed emotions when the idea first popped into my head back in October, but as it grew closer and closer, I felt the Lord confirming this radical decision. And, thankfully, I have a husband … Continue reading GUTS & GLORY
Face planted!
Many, many moons ago (wink wink) while playing basketball I took a knee. You can read all about it here! That knee taught me an invaluable lesson that I have never forgotten. The felt experience caused a great deal of trauma, yet I learned through that mishap that I had an awesome coach watching out … Continue reading Face planted!
Where Do We Turn?
We’ve been dealt a hard blow. Life has changed and it may never, ever be the same. Through a pandemic that includes a cancer journey with my sister-in-law, through loss of jobs or finances for different family members and friends, through loss of caring for grandkids (like my sister is experiencing), or possibly losing the … Continue reading Where Do We Turn?
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”
From Praise to Prayer
During this isolating pandemic period, I was motivated to read several books that are lying around the house longing for me to pick them up. One small book, easily digested but held a wealth of spiritual truth, is If You Will Ask by Oswald Chambers. This book, insightful and timely, is a testimony of Chambers’ … Continue reading From Praise to Prayer
Sacrificed on the Altar: PRAISE
Ashamedly, there have been multiple times in my life when I have told the Lord I could not praise Him in the midst of a difficult situation. After He provided the relief and I saw a resolution to the difficulty, I would praise Him. Yet, there are some heartrending complexities that remain to this day … Continue reading Sacrificed on the Altar: PRAISE
Immanuel; It’s no accident: The Lord is with us!
Eight days ago, an accident changed our plans! We planned to spend Christmas in Louisiana with my side of the family. We were due to leave two days after the accident occurred. Many things this year did not transpire as we had planned or even had hoped. Two of our children had surgery, unexpectedly. Our … Continue reading Immanuel; It’s no accident: The Lord is with us!

Who doesn't love a Christmas tree loaded with lights or a frosted peppermint coffee from Chick-fil-A? Celebrations of the season abound! But we can easily become lost in the busyness of our calendar and miss what really matters. So, I make it my aim to experience the peace and joy of the season, not in … Continue reading Join the Genealogy of Life
