Refreshment

August 26, 2020

Peace, unfortunately, has not been consistent over the many months of this strange year. Just in our tiny corner of the world we’ve experienced some of the most bizarre situations, which have threatened to pit neighbor against neighbor. However, the doves keep showing up to remind me to pray, and to remind me that my Prince of Peace is here. … More Refreshment

Tethered

July 4, 2020

Day 130. Focus – Jesus. Eyes on Him.  How else can I live in peace? Unless my heart be tethered to my Lord, I will lose heart. Unless my feet remain within my Good Shepherd’s pasture, I will lose my way. Unless my eyes remain trained on His eyes of love, I will stray for … More Tethered

Day 124 Psalm 124

June 27, 2020

Look up. See Him as life, love, defender, protector and security beyond this short life. As I walk and live and visit with people all around me I feel as if I am living out a role in a 60’s Twilight Zone episode. … More Day 124 Psalm 124

Pondering {release}

June 6, 2020

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7 This scripture popped up recently as a ‘verse of the day’ and it reveals a truth that I keep hearing from the Lord.

I Have a Voice

October 24, 2019

God has much to say to me about the way I speak, my tone and the appropriate use of speech for love and blessing. Very early in my discipleship a friend directed me to the book of James. Knowing how much I love the gift of gab, my heart was pricked, and I began to take seriously the many reproofs regarding an uncontrolled tongue. … More I Have a Voice

Actively Waiting

October 18, 2019

Fretting might be the easiest “go to” activity in a waiting room. However, God says don’t fret – don’t worry. Then He offers all of these other activities to take the place of worrying about circumstances we can’t control anyway. … More Actively Waiting

Does He Notice Me?

October 8, 2019

My questions about God were many and constant. In rare, unguarded moments of conversation with high school and college friends, I wondered aloud if God was interested in the details of our lives. Most people with whom I chatted seemed to think that the only answer to my ponderings was a sincere – No – for a variety of reasons. … More Does He Notice Me?

Community is a Gift

October 2, 2019

By the third day, our beach observations had made an amusing connection. We looked out onto the water at the mass of surfers quite numerous divided into several “small groups” with an occasional loner off to one side or the other. My man and I laughed as we identified ourselves according to social surfers and the loners. … More Community is a Gift
