Walking with God

LOOK UP.  Trust in the Lord and wait quietly for his help. Don’t be angry when people make evil plans and succeed.  Psalm 37:7 Life gets/is crazy and confusing, so look up to The One who knows all and see all and can/will calm you.  When you’re outside, wherever you...

Listen up: https://youtu.be/j5n5O_CHV1c Y’all, these songs are what came on my playlist this morning (Apple Music's “Today’s Christian”).  While walking the beach this morning, feeling the peace of God and His mighty powerful hovering over me, I was “praying and...

Recently, I was at my brother Kevin’s home.  I always enjoy the transparent and Jesus-filled chats we have with one another.  One morning we were discussing life with raising adult children. Ugh! I do believe that, although this stage (ages 18-24) are loads of fun,...

This morning I began researching scripture on “the power within us”. This topic isn’t a new one for Soaking Up The Son, so I decided to go to the website and search “power within you”. The journal entries that came up blessed my soul. Although there were numerous...

Y’all!  I was so embarrassed when I saw this.  What was I thinking...or not?  But...there’s hope. https://youtu.be/zY73W9Oktjk Well, I’m not a tech person either. LOL!  So here’s part two...let’s get to the good stuff: https://youtu.be/GeYSq1PV2yU I hope you know that...

Recently I was at my mom’s new home in Georgia helping her unpack her belongings and making her cardboard-box-filled-house feel more like a comfy home.  They had been unpacking for the past couple of weeks and discovered many items were broken during the move....

Hi! I’ve missed communicating with you via this site. Even though my public journaling may have been quiet, you can bet God is still working on and in me daily, speaking to me through everyday experiences. I’ll be back, but until then...if you are on Facebook, would...

I went to rest for thirty minutes.  When my head hit the pillow the song, “He's got the whole world in His hands” rang through my mind.  I haven’t sung that song in many many years. I had no idea why it came to my mind...but God did. When I sang the words in my mind,...

This morning I was briefly watching the local news.  On Tampa Bay’s Fox 13, Dr. Jo is their Health Reporter.  What Dr. Jo was informing us about, regarding a new study being done with COVIS-19 patients and those with respiratory issues, was interesting.  She told of...

For quite a while now, I pass by this huge broken limb, resting on a vine hanging from the tree. There are weeds surrounding it, moss hanging from it, and the ground is so dry from hardly any rain in months.  This visual reminds me of how we may feel at times. Do you...

HAPPY EASTER, y’all!! Today is the most important Christian holiday.  Jesus rose from the grave and is alive! Enjoy this story of Easter using the Resurrection Eggs: https://youtu.be/lwryojGss5I   Some of the people were walking ahead of Jesus. Others were...

“Ohh How I Love Jesus…”  These words are often, if not daily, sung or hummed by me.  My family knows that this is my go-to-song when I get annoyed or upset with one of them, but it is also for when I’m busy working or as happy as a pig in mud. As I sit here today, the...
