I promised a report on my Eighteen Day Fasting Challenge; A pledge I decided to try for the month of August and September. You can read here where I explain the process. So, in preparation of this great “PRAISE Report” I had my dear hubby capture a picture of me jumping with prodigious success. Well, … Continue reading A Praise Report of Sorts: Sense & Sensibility

Closer to Your Heart Through Prayer, An Easter Fast!
Growing up in the deep south, despite the heat, I looked forward to attending Bible camp each summer. That very first summer altered my life forever when I trusted in Jesus for eternal life and experienced the forgiveness of my sins. Thus, I was born again like the Apostle John illustrates through the dialogue of … Continue reading Closer to Your Heart Through Prayer, An Easter Fast!
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!
Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
This is supposed to be my last day of “no dairy, no sugar” fast for the month of March which I extended until Easter: Resurrection Sunday, April 17, 2022. I am a bit disappointed for it to come to an end because I do not want to fall back into old habits in thinking or … Continue reading Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
“Lord, open our eyes that we may see” (Day 36)
The news hit me like a ton of bricks! How could anything good come from it?

His Desire for Me
So much of this earthly life is lived in limbo! Like when you are waiting nine months for a baby to be born, not to mention twenty-seven hours of labor to meet that new baby, like my youngest daughter pulled off! And almost as bad, is the waiting for text messages reassuring you everything is … Continue reading His Desire for Me
Stand up & Stand Out!
All the stories about "only a boy named David" have caused me to ponder just what type of mother did this boy have! I mean really?! “Hey mom, you’ll never guess what happened last night while I was watching the sheep! A BIG hungry bear crept through the fog after one of our little lambs! … Continue reading Stand up & Stand Out!
Celebrating 5 Years with WordPress!
Five years ago (2015), my heart was heavy. I was alone much of the time. Having been laid aside with a herniated disk, I wondered to what purpose God would use it. So, I poured over the Scriptures asking for His direction and guidance during this time of isolation and recovery. And it was then … Continue reading Celebrating 5 Years with WordPress!
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!
