God’s ways are counterintuitive. ”Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.”Isaiah 55:2 NIV I’m participating in a 21-day fast and concentrated prayer season along with my dear man. … Continue reading Consume Not Folly

I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions.
I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words.
In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community.
My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love!
I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups.
I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith...
Bold feet, humble heart

Waste Not, Want Not
Waste is an interesting word for a writing prompt, but it’s the one offered by Kate today. I don’t want to waste an opportunity to attempt to be an encouragement for the Lord, and at the same time I don’t want to be wasteful with words. ‘Waste not, want not’ is an expression I’ve heard … Continue reading Waste Not, Want Not
What good is a far off God?
Gratefully, I am attending a small neighborhood Bible study with a few other women seeking to know God more intimately. We’re just beginning a study which proposes that we choose joy. The teacher, in our first lesson, held out a premise from Scripture that we are invited to consider. Was Jesus purely a man of … Continue reading What good is a far off God?
