Daily Walking with God
Loud and Proud
I’m sitting outside in what I call “The Shuff Backyard Oasis”, watching the NCAA tournaments, enjoying the gorgeous weather, and ready for the fire to set the stage for a wonderful evening, when I hear this bird tweeting. This wasn’t just any tweet. It was a loud...
Get that "Peaceful" feeling.
Last night was not the most restful of nights. I woke up at 1:18am feeling as though I had slept through the night. That’s a great feeling, except when you know you have hours left to sleep and you’re wide awake. When I focused on trying to go back to sleep by just...
Beginning
December FIRST! What? Is it just me or do you agree that the older you get the faster the years go? Well, no matter how much we may try to slow things down sometimes, time keeps on tickin’ and there is a beginning to everything. Today is the beginning of the last...
Daddy/ Daughter Time
The Family Circus cartoons by Jeff and Bill Keane are precious. A while back I cut out one of the cartoons that reminded me of my husband, Tim, and our only daughter, Holly. For about a month it was magnetized to the refrigerator before Holly finally discovered it. ...
Just Pray it.
I’ve got a couple of “go-to” lines that I always say in my prayers. I don’t say these out of “roteness” at all. I genuinely mean and pray these words. Here’s one of my “go-to” sentences: “Lord, I pray that everything I (we) say and do are pleasing to you.” So what...
That Peaceful Feeling
“And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts.” Colossians 3:15a Oh me oh my does this verse epitomize my thought this week over a decision that Tim and I are going through right now. We are in a season in our life of changes. Some changes are having...
A Grateful Heart
"I always thank my God for you because of the grace that He has given you through Christ Jesus. In Him you have been blessed in every way. You have been blessed in all your speaking and all your knowledge." I believe that people come into our lives for a reason, even...

A gentle reminder as you start your week:
I recently had an issue at work that made me want to have a temper-tantrum. Okay, so I did have a little one, but I got over it because God got me over it by reminding me of His word. I came home that day not in the best of moods, but when I finally realized, “Oh...
I've got Spirit. How 'bout you?
A couple of times this week the bible-verse-of-the-day had to deal with “The Spirit”. So I decided, or really God laid it on my heart, to find some more scripture to share with you to let you know just a little about Who The Spirit is. I pray that by the time you...
Just live right.
“When you do good, you stop ignorant people from saying foolish things about you. This is what God wants. 16 Live like free people, but don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Live as those who are serving God.” 1 Peter 2:15-16 Let’s just say first of all that...
What a Message!
I just couldn’t help myself. I’d read one verse and get a smile on my face and thoughts rushing through my head. But there was so much more waiting for me. Take a look. I want you to walk with me on this little journey: “Since the day we heard these things about you,...
