Walking in Purpose with God
I am thankful that this week has given me an opportunity to experience the things that I love to do. In it, God has given me a new perspective. God sometimes takes us down new paths to teach us something or to show us something new. Walking down this path with Him removes us from […]
Planted in the Right Soil
Sometimes we just need a little movement to make us ready for what’s ahead of us. God will take the soil that He has planted us in and use it as fertile ground to prepare us. And we, as His planted, must recognize His hands at work in us and let Him add value to […]
Taking Time to Enjoy the Sunset
Taking in the sunset at the end of my day is one of the experiences I enjoy the most. It gives me peace and let’s me take a moment to acknowledge God as my Creator. It allows me see more of Him – and in unique ways, too. Take time to enjoy the sunset today, […]

The Transformative Power of The Lord’s Peace
I was really quite tired and was a bit drained today, so limiting my involvement was important to my health and peace. Since I wasn’t feeling quite like myself, I decided to take things a bit slow, eat a little breakfast (yes, coffee made an appearance!), listen to my Bible reading via audio today, and […]
A Prayer of Thanksgiving and Praise to God
As grand as God is, He can also be found in the smallest of details. So my writing tonight is not long or elaborate – it is one of thanksgiving and praise. I give thanks to the Lord for being a part of my day, for guiding my hands along the way. I praise Him […]
I am Overwhelmed with God’s Love and Peace
It’s a quiet day. There’s no ruckus or commotion…just the quiet hum of the oven and the quiet calm of the Lord’s presence in the atmosphere around us, and I. Am. Overwhelmed…with His incredible love and peace. May the Lord overwhelm you with His incredible love and peace on this beautiful Thanksgiving Day. P.S., Kaye […]
