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!
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!
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!
A Stone Thrower! (A 10th Season Begins)
Compelled to write, I began this journey sensing the call of God, even despite some who questioned it. The feelings of aloneness took my breath away at times. Rivers of discouragement pulled me under, bolstered by a burdensome backpack. This pack was well-worn, stuffed with letters of interrogation: aptitude, skill, and capability for the journey. … Continue reading A Stone Thrower! (A 10th Season Begins)
A Planting of the Lord! (A 10th Season Begins)
One of my loves is perusing a plant nursery. Not only do I enjoy checking out the wide variety of plant life, but as my dear husband knows, I rarely go home empty handed. Well on this day one of the lucky plants that came home with me was a baby dianthus. Once we arrived … Continue reading A Planting of the Lord! (A 10th Season Begins)
A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
The short days of winter when darkness lasts longer than the light is often difficult for many. I can struggle with the heavy sometimes depressing season void of color and light. This past winter seemed to be extra dark adding to that a difficult valley to cross. So, it felt extra special when we saw … Continue reading A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
Closer To Your Heart; NOT A SLOGAN
May I share with you a glimpse into an impeded mind sputtering for a connection? – just this morning I have: Thrown wet towels into the dryer along with the dryer paper – but forgot to start the dryer 😉 (a common occurrence) Just noticed something in the microwave. After making breakfast smoothies, I had … Continue reading Closer To Your Heart; NOT A SLOGAN
