Soaking up the Son

I woke up at 3:30 this morning. An image kept playing in my mind, and I couldn’t help but smile. As hard as I tried to go back to sleep, Jesus continued to invite me to spend more time with Him. How could I resist? So…in the last journal entry, I wrote how I shared an...

How is living in your home during construction like coming to Jesus? Well, I have had to have a few “come to Jesus” meetings with myself through this construction process, but that is not it. It seems that ever since we moved into our home in 2016, there is a new...

Happy Thanksgiving! The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26 The sun hadn’t begun to peek through the horizon yet. There was a heavy...

What a better day to journal about the calming of a storm than today, as many of us are home weathering out Florida’s latest LATE hurricane, Nicole.  When preparing for the next lesson to share with the group of kindergarten through second graders, I searched what...

Each time I gaze at the stars in the sky, I can’t help but be in awe of God’s handiwork. The constellations are in place, the planets often appear to our naked eye, and the movement and construction of the clouds are like God teaching us various brush strokes of art....

What do your social media postings say about you? Recently, I stalked…I mean did research, on some ladies, by viewing their Facebook accounts. They were models in a fashion show that I got to emcee, so I wanted to get to know their personalities and say a little diddy...

For nineteen years, my home church has brought ladies together to hopefully instill a moment of being still, taking a breath before the holiday season begins, getting us in the mood to begin decorating, shopping, and preparing our hearts and minds for Christmas. The...
