Busy. So very busy. Overwhelmed. Keeping up. Appearances. Tasks and “to do”s. He came into our world quietly. This birth was the most extravagant act of love in all of creation.Like all babies, pushing his way into the middle of people, some who would love, some who would hate. Some who would worship and adore,… Continue reading Your Heart
I read something in the Word that totally grabbed me. You know, like when you have read verses many times and have all this head knowledge and then one day, just like that, God uses a metaphorical 2x4 to whop you and get your attention? Yeah, like that!! Ephesians 2:6 “He raised us up with… Continue reading Mind Blown
I’ve been reading Psalm 139 a lot this week. If you haven’t read it in a while, or not at all, perhaps that should go on your list of things to do. The whole psalm is full of wonderful, life-giving words. Since I’ve read it several times, imagine my surprise today when God caused a… Continue reading Confidence and Strength
So really. Why would you follow in the exact footprints of someone else? They do not have YOUR unique qualities, gifts, abilities, and desires, and you don't have theirs. Should you fashion your life after what other people say? Should you let what is important to them be what guides you? Perhaps to some degree, if they are… Continue reading Write Your Own Script, My Dear

Several of us discussed this unforgiveness during a Bible study I’m… Continue reading Forgive Myself?
I've been reading through Matthew 6. Today as I read verse 24, “How can you serve two masters”, I saw there was a footnote. I love The Passion Translation! The translators have taken all the original language writings, and then more, to give us a more accurate verbiage. The footnote said, “There is found after… Continue reading “Fasting” From the World?
God gave me the best illustration!Ok, so some (most) of our backgrounds are a bit shady, or tumultuous. Definitely not made of the stuff you want to pass along to anybody! Perhaps you are thinking that you are just a nobody--no one particularly special. Yeah, yeah, so were the disciples, if you will--a bunch of… Continue reading Be Like Fireflies
My shame can't separate, my guilt can't separate, my past can't separate, I'm Yours forever. My sin can't separate, my scars can't separate, my failures can't separate, I'm Yours forever. You're the God who stays. You're the One who runs in my direction when the whole world walks away. You're the God who stands with… Continue reading The God Who Stays
A friend of mine is going through a heartbreaking time. I made this for her today, and thought I'd post for anyone else who needs to hear it. The "He" in this quote is God, and the words are from the Bible. Several years ago, when I was enduring the same kind of emotional devastation… Continue reading He Will Heal The Brokenhearted
