Well, other than prayer, that is. Persistence. I love that word. It’s a friendly, little non-threatening reminder that tells you to keep going. Don’t stop. What you’re doing is important. And that your hard work is going to pay off. We should not be tricked into, or let ourselves down by, believing that the Lord […]

Listening to the voice of God…
…will lead you in all righteousness. It will lead you to promises fulfilled. It will give you new strength. It will guide your understanding and will strengthen your trust in Him. He will be your compass, a keeper in the #valley… a sense of clear direction amid a raging storm. Whatever you need, whyever you’ve […]
Reflections…
Over the past few days (well, week – from last Monday to today), I’ve had many day’s end thoughts, musings and final “take-aways” on what the days have meant to me. My hands got a bit busy, but it is still necessary that I share what the Lord has given me throughout this time. Here […]
Listening for God
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 […]
Today was a good day.

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 […]
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. […]
Loving God’s Way
Love…is not self-seeking. …is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. – I Corinthians 13:5 Love Never Fails. I write from my heart, understanding that I have not lived up to the definition of love. That I have not lived up to God’s standard of love. When we don’t live up to God’s […]
