I am a blessed girl! God uses everyday situations in my life to teach me about Him and His love. God’s Word is alive and active! A verse that I may have read last year, last week, or even yesterday, may have a new meaning to me depending on the season of life I’m in. This isn’t just true for me, but for you too.

Daily Walking with God
Seeking to Understand
For the past few weeks, my youngest son, Cole, will say a motto out of the blue. When he verbalizes it, I always think, “That sounds so familiar! Is it scripture?” Then, recently I had a disagreement with a loved one. I keep racking my brain for understanding and...
The Guiding Light
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, had a very shiny nose. Yep, I bet you are singing this classic song now. Boy was that snout glowing. This schnoz of his caused a bit of trouble for Rudolph. He was bullied by the other reindeer. What made them think they were better...
Stay Safe Y’all
I had to share. This morning, while scrolling social media, I saw a friend had shared a post, from her best friend, asking for prayer for the family. Why? (My heart breaks all over again just typing this…) her BFF’s two great nephews were killed in a head-on car crash...
Jesus Came in the Mail
Jesus came yesterday! A day earlier than expected! That’s right…Jesus came in the mail. When Tim came home from work with this package from Amazon, I got so excited. I grabbed the delivery, and started gallivanting around room-to-room telling each family member,...
Treasuring Memories
To you this may just look like a Christmas swag, adorned with cotton charm and a wired burgundy velvet bow, but to me it’s so much more. I only have a couple of these bows remaining, and I will always treasure them. As I am restructuring, the crushed by being stored,...
No time for PORNOGRAPHY
I’ll never forget the feeling that engulfed me when I saw porn. When I was nineteen years young, I was asked to babysit two young boys. Their mother was out of town, and the dad had work to do. I knew the family quite well, and had no issues with keeping an eye on the...
Jesus in a Box
I waited! It took will power and patience to hold down the excitement, but I did it, and the time is FINALLY here! For months, while gallivanting through stores, Christmas was in the air…or at least on the shelves. When did Christmas decorations become the items to...
Know Your Weakness
At seven o’clock in the morning, I noticed I had a message. The message was informing me that our cows were out in the neighbor’s yard. I told Tim to go around the backside of the cows, and round them up, while I went to the shared gate to call “Hey cows” and entice...
Be a Tool, not a Toy.
“I’m just a tool.” Jesus was a carpenter while He was a young man on earth. According to the dictionary, a carpenter is a worker who builds or repairs structures or their parts. How fitting for the occupation of Christ. He built and repaired wooden structures in...
‘Tis the Season for…
‘Tis the season! Some may say…”Tis the season: To be jolly To be thankful For football For shopping For eating lots of turkey For Jesus For trying to tolerate family members during the holiday times To put up Christmas décor before we even celebrate Thanksgiving To be...
Living Life to Its Fullest
I’m speaking to a group of students this week, for Great America Teach-In, about traveling and diversity/commonalities among all people. While going through photos of places we’ve visited around the world, I couldn’t help but smile and appreciate all the experiences...
Building a Relationship
We have two cows in our pasture. When we first received them, they were skittish of anyone who entered, and you could tell they were cautiously sizing any intruder up. Over time, I would go out and feed the cows. On my way to greet them, I’d holler out, “Hey, cows”....
