Walking with God
A message through the misery
“For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.” -Micah 7:8 Lesson learned from Micah 7: For a Christian, this is a good reminder message while going through the misery. Whether your misery is self induced or brought on by...
Are you tired of God?
Thoughts while reading Micah chapter 6: Christians who get comfortable in the world and dwindle from their relationship with the Lord, are like the Israelites we read about throughout the Old Testament. (To refresh your memory, just read several examples in Exodus and...
Talk about a MAJOR message. Nahum is applicable to our lives today.
I have truly been enjoying reading through the minor prophets. In a previous journal entry I noted how although these prophets may have been titled minor, they have a MAJOR message. Today's posting is no different. Nahum is only three chapters long. Nahum: After...
Storytime from Lessons from the beach…and a squirrel moment.
Early this morning, the coastal breeze was invigorating to my skin as I stepped out of the canopy of sea grapes and onto the barely trodden sand. The sun was barely surfacing, so the shade was plentiful and the ground felt cool to the soles of my feet. I put down my...
Even though…
The words in Habakkuk 3:17-19 meshes perfectly with mine and Tim’s recent day of fishing. We headed out about twenty miles to go offshore fishing. We could see rain clouds ahead of us. Do you weave around them or go through them? Regardless, they were obstacles in our...
There is just something about a sunset and sunrise.
As I walked down the canopy of sea grape trees that have created an enchanting arched pathway to the beach, I could hear the waves crashing on the shore. I left my sandals beside the sea oats that were flowing in the breeze. The soles of my feet felt the grains of...
Gratitude on Memorial Day
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 This verse epitomizes what millions of military service men and women have done for our freedom. Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have lost their lives for our country. While...
When I whistle to them
This photo is framed and on my bedside table. It was taken back in 2017. Heights and hairstyles have changed, but the joy of having my kiddos with me sure hasn’t. (I think we need to do a retake of this pic.) Ever since my children were little, when we were separated...
The Lord says a lot…are you listening?
“The Lord says” a LOT! We need to listen. How? Open the Bible. Read it. Pray it. Believe it. Listen. While reading Zechariah 8, I underlined and circled every time I read “the Lord says”. I was reminded that He says a lot! I know that when I feel God is silent, it is...
A gift for you
Someone needs to read this: This week was my last week being the large group presenter to about sixty+ kids on Wednesday nights. After praying about what to teach, it was settled to talk about having a hard heart versus one that is moldable and chasing after Jesus....
What are you supposed to do?
After reading about the vision of the four chariots in verses 1-8 in Zechariah 6, what stuck in my mind was the task at hand and how. The four horses/chariots/spirits went out to do God’s work, and were eager to do so. Jesus called us to to the same: So encourage each...
A flying scroll, a woman in a basket, and me chasing rabbits…?
Once upon a time, a flying scroll and a woman in a basket walked into a bar. What? Y’all! I have gone down into a rabbit hole to make sense of Zechariah 5…and I’m still perplexed. This chapter consists of two visions: “a flying scroll” and “a woman in a basket”. I’ve...
