Walking with God
Be filled with JOY
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 I prayed this verse for my children today. And you know what? I prayed it for you too! Dear Lord, You are The God...
The End Times?
“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 With clean-ups, clean-outs, and all things that deal with Hurricane Irma, and on top of Harvey and Irma…the...
Irma Aftermath Observances
Counting it all joy…after the Irma Aftermath. James 1:2-3 says, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” Harvey and Irma were not kind to our southern states, but I do...
Giving Thanks
My morning view. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow! God’s word is so refreshing. Refreshing in times of joy, sadness, disaster, rebuilding, and _________ (you fill in the blank). This morning I woke to these precious words: “Always be filled with joy in...
He will see you through it
As the sun is setting on our now lakefront home, thanks to Hurricane Irma, I am reminded of what all has transpired over the past week. This has been the longest week of preparation for a hurricane I’ve EVER been in. I’m a native Floridian, and I’ve witnessed and been...
Praying Through the Hurricane
I will praise You, LORD, through the storm! My precious home, the entire state of Florida, is in destress. Hurricane Irma is going to wreak havoc on our land. During this time of trouble, I pray that we will all seek His face, cry out to Him, find refuge, peace,...
The Calm Before The Storm
Ahhh, the calm before the storm. Stephanie, the encourager, needed some serious encouraging yesterday. With each update on Hurricane Irma, the latest had her zooming through central Florida (where we live). I heard my youngest son (age 15) calling my name. At that...
Are you prepared?
Today, I was messaging a friend…actually a lady whom I’ve never personally met, only her mother, and we connected, and now I feel like we are two peas in a pod…anyhow…she was encouraging me to write a few things as we (here in Florida) are preparing for Hurricane...
Decorating Vol 3: We are All Eclectically Designed
I love to decorate with items that either tell a story, remind me of places I’ve traveled to, looks interesting, or I simply just like. When you walk into my home, you may look and say as my precious friend said, “I’m not sure how to describe your style. Eclectic?...
God is not my co-pilot. He’s my Pilot.
Don asked, “Does anyone want to go flying?” I popped my resting head up off the pillow, where I was power napping on the couch, and quickly responded, “I do!” Off we went. Headed to the hanger, where Don keeps his plane, I was excited to see the beautiful Georgia land...
Decorating Vol 2. Life’s an Adventure
Yesterday, while traveling in the truck, heading to the hunting camp in Georgia, “I” would search the bible for verses to fit into the next decorating journal entry. Nada. But…shocker…God had a plan. Each morning, before I rise or seek the face of man, I seek the face...
Decorating Vol.1, A Strong Foundation
I am so grateful and humbled by comments from others when they come into or walk through our home. Two goals I’ve always had when decorating are 1) I want others to see Christ as the center of our home and 2) I desire for folks to feel welcome and comfortable. I...
