Dear Friends, Thanksgiving begins with "thankful living" and our heart attitude controls the strings! We truly are a blessed people! "Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete … Continue reading A Bright Shining Heart!

Pick and Choose!
Feeling an attack for truth, God’s truth, I awake at night unable to go back to sleep. It isn’t until I suitably appropriate the WHOLE armor, God’s full armor (Ephesians 6:10-18), that I find peace. Yet I still find myself wrestling with the outcome. Have you experienced trying to go back to sleep with a … Continue reading Pick and Choose!
A Treasured Birthday!
What a whirlwind of a month this has been! October 2024 will not be quickly forgotten. Not only am I writing in my tenth year of blogging, but I achieved an age I never dreamed of reaching. Born in 1962, I turned 62 years old October 8, 2024! Early in the month, just two days … Continue reading A Treasured Birthday!
Strength through Suffering
Does strength through suffering sound appealing? I’m not talking about the suffering in working your physical body to make it strong but suffering through hardships that produce eternal benefits. And to be honest, though I wanted something flashier and more inspiring the Lord kept drawing me back to this topic of strength acquired through suffering. … Continue reading Strength through Suffering

Created with a Purpose!
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)
Let’s Celebrate!
Hi! I am a daughter of Eve! Yes, Eve, the mother of us all. Like Eve, I thought I knew better than God. Like Eve, I tried it my way. Like Eve, I stepped out of line and was forced to face the consequences. However, despite Eve’s sin bringing forth death for all, her name … Continue reading Let’s Celebrate!
