Daily Walking with God
It's that time again…College Bound
And just like that….they’re off. It’s that time of year again when kids (I mean young adults) head off for college. Last night we enjoyed a final summer dinner and gave “see ya” hugs to three out-of-state-bound kiddos, whom are like my own. Maddie will be heading back...
Headache Be Gone!
I’ve made a discovery over the past few months. You see, when I’m in my classroom teaching those lovely sixth graders math, I am constantly drinking bottled water. I keep a case of spring water under my desk (I don’t care for it super cold), so I always have water at...
Lay it down at the Cross
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…God is so cool! I love how He speaks to me through those unexpected places and /or objects. I went to take my dog for her morning walk. While Marley was getting her morning walk on, I was getting my morning prayer walk on....
An Unexpected Double Blessing
I’ve searched in the bible for the right bible verse to go with today’s thought, but nothing is settling with me. Maybe you can help me find the right verse. We read about double blessings for Hannah, Joseph, Job and others in the bible. Well, this precious lady that...
"Ut-oh"
I was awakened in the middle of the night and began pondering on a few people and events in my life that I would consider as some “Ut-ohs” that I’ve experienced. It led me to think, as a mom, how I would love to prevent my children from having many “Ut-oh”...
Run, Child, Run to Jesus!
This morning was like any other morning for me. I woke up and began praying. Praying for my children is at the top of my list. I began to pray for each specifically and pondered on each area of gratefulness and concern in their lives. Before I continued in my morning...
You will be tempted.
Here’s a quote for you to chew on… “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you ought to.” When I read Matthew 4:1-11 about when Satan tempted Jesus in the desert, I pondered on how to make this historical story applicable to my life. I said to myself, “Just because you...
I get it
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth… But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 A couple of weeks ago I had a dream. My late mother-in-law, Jany, was in it. In the dream the family...
A Lesson on Being a Parent
“I will praise you, Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; He has become my...
Do you follow your heart or Me?
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” Jeremiah...
We will serve the Lord
“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,…But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15 “Lessons from My Kitchen: Part 7” Oh, and you thought I was done with this series,...
Are you playing Hide-n-Seek with God?
“Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord.” Jeremiah 23:24 I can just imagine God saying this and ending it with a “Duh! Helloooo, I’m GOD.” Okay, maybe not. I can’t see Him as being sarcastic,...
