Time is not fleeting, and joy is not lost… “Hear the sound of the wind; listen closely as He speaks. Let nothing steal your moment of happiness, joy, and rest. The Lord is painting a beautiful portrait.” We often look for the completed story to play out before us…but if we listen closely, we will […]
Happy, healthy and hearty
They say, “What you look upon is what you become…birds of a feather flock together…two are better than one…a three-fold cord is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. […]
An “indescribable” gift
So I gave myself yesterday (Saturday) off from writing on the blog – not because I was being a procrastinator – because yesterday was a full day of rest for my home, and, categorically, rest = rest. PERIOD. Sunday, Nov. 18 – Today’s take-away: You have been given an indescribable gift. Be engaged where God has […]
Today was a good day.
Today was a good day. My husband and I spent the day together – we motivated each other, pursued and completed our daily and personal goals together, reflected and conversed, prepared for the current and coming season, and entered into a Godly period of rest together. When it comes to husband and wife marital relationships, […]
Take a moment for yourself and enjoy.
It’s often the littlest things that count. Take delight, and enjoy an occasion or two. An early morning coffee ride and a short walk within my cul-de-sac were my two moments of joy – simple activities that both rested and rejuvenated my spirit today – a simple time away from the on-going churn of work. While […]

Staying prepared – in season and out of season
THE highlight of my day/night was visiting the grocery store in preparation for our upcoming weeks’ grocery and Thanksgiving. I really love a good sale, and when I say this, I don’t mean spending money, I mean preserving it. Over the past few months, I’ve tried to more attentively respond to the balance, rest and […]
What is our BEST effort for God?
After a few years of what seemed like the longest separation of space and time, I am now able to satisfy my desire to continue forward with Passion Series. There’s just one little thing… I still don’t seem to have the time. I talk about Passion Series ALL of the time. I desperately wanted to […]
I am an Overcomer: Finding renewed strength in Him
I realized today that I am an Overcomer. As I approached today, I was very weary and lethargic – a side effect of some of my recent health concerns. Although I did not feel very well, I had a desire to serve the Lord today and to worship Him. In this, He gave me new […]
Being Available to God
When we say that we are available to God, we make time and room for Him to move as He sees fit for our best purpose. This means we must first clear out old, dark places within our lives where we have allowed death and immobility to reside. “Get up! And get moving,” God says. […]
