For the past two weeks, we’ve been experiencing 40 Days of Prayer, a time when we collectively gather with other local churches, groups, individuals, and organizations in order to pray for the salvation and needs of our surrounding community. At today’s prayer gathering, my husband and I were asked to lead prayers for those who […]

Where peace can be found
Where can peace be found? Anywhere you so desire. Take your attention off of those things that cause you to focus more on the circumstance versus keeping your focus on God. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And […]
Recharge your focus
So this morning when I awakened, I asked myself, “What shall I do for myself today?” At first sight, the question may seem a bit odd…why, I can do everything for myself! … ?? But today, this question comes from a different place. A place of discomfort, of just mental exhaustion due to the ongoing […]
Give Your Pain and Struggles to the Lord
So the night after writing >this post<, I literally got NO SLEEP… LITERALLY. I had given the cares of the day over to the Lord, done my nightly stretches, read my Bible scriptures and began to drift away into rest. It is 1:24am. Moments later, BAM, I am awake. Body in pain. My nerves and […]
Room for the ‘New’
When God clears the clutter of ‘things old’, He does so in a manner that sets a perfect tone – a standard of excellence. In this place, a freshness and new-found freedom exists in the abundant measure of His guided plan. Today, I look at the things set before me with even newer eyes – […]
Remember…
As I sit here, my home is quiet, my atmosphere is one of peace. And I am reminded – that God is here with me. Rain is present. What does rain mean to me? The voice of God and the promises He has made and shown to my husband and I. It is in the […]
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 […]
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, […]
