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
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)
“Life-giving” Joy!
Hi! I am a daughter of Eve! Yes, Eve, the mother of us all. Like Eve, I have thought I knew better than God. Like Eve, I have tried it my way. Like Eve, I have stepped out of line and had to live with the consequences. However, despite Eve’s sin bringing forth death for … Continue reading “Life-giving” Joy!
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
Partner-Up!
Well to be honest and upfront, my “June Fast” has been a total flop! My intention of observing a fast leading up to my Wedding Anniversary on June 26th has not been what I envisioned. 😉 I would naturally label it a complete failure! Interruptions came in the form of a trip to Tennessee, celebrating … Continue reading Partner-Up!
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!
An Unquenchable Joy
For years, I was a prisoner to my circumstances. Even though as a child I trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins and my eternal state was settled, I lived in defeat more than victory. My joy was stolen whenever something hard came along. And the sad, sad part was, I always felt powerless … Continue reading An Unquenchable Joy
I love a Good Rocker!
You know I love a good rocker. I could just sit and rock away time. For years I could not understand why the Lord did not bless me with a stress-free rocking existence; To live enjoying the beauty and breezes without the hassles of life. But guess what? I am so thankful He chose to … Continue reading I love a Good Rocker!
