While lying in bed this morning waiting on my mind to finish prayers and my body to officially wake up, the song “Somewhere over the Rainbow” popped into my mind.  I chuckled to myself at the oddity of that song coming to mind for what I thought was no reason.  The...

  The past few days I’ve been in a funk. I’m not quite sure why.  But for whatever the reason may be, I know God will pull me out of it and His glory will shine in the end. But, now as I’m typing this, God is reminding me of the stillness He has given to me...

The other day I was having a conversation with a precious friend.  She is in the process of making a big decision in her life….where to further her education.  She asked me to pray.  I did and I will continue to do so.  When I read “Walking in the Word” this morning,...
