Walking with God
Walking Beside
Come, let us bow down and worship Him! Let us kneel before the Lord who made us. He is our God, and we are the people He cares for, His sheep that walk by His side. Listen to His voice today. Psalm 95:6-7 ERV There is so much solid information in these two verses,...
Heart Breaks and Joys
Over the past several days I have found myself fixated on watching the news report which were keeping America updated with the sights and stories from Hurricane Harvey. My heart ached for those in Harvey’s path, and still does for all. Yet, I’m also encouraged by what...
Praying for Texas
"Pray in the Spirit at all times. Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need. To do this you must always be ready. Never give up. Always pray for all of God’s people." Ephesians 6:18 "First of all, I ask that you pray for all people. Ask God to...
Chatting with God
Prayer is a HUGE part of my life. This past week I’ve been lacking on journaling, but busy about praying. While “busying” myself with chores or going about my daily life, God and I chat. Pulling weeds. Driving down the road. Washing dishes. Singing. Being observant...
Knot the way it was supposed to be
I heard a thundering boom. When I leaped from the truck and overheard a friend say, “Where’s Tim?”, my heart leaped out of my chest. As I ran to the edge of the dock, getting ready to jump in and search for my man, Tim came out of the water, from about ten feet from...
Don’t look at the sun, look to The Son
The newscasters were giving a plethora of information to all regarding how to prepare for viewing and reminding us to NOT look at the sun. Social media was buzzing with articles, videos, and excitement. Schools were either closing, not opening, or excusing students...
Are you One-of-Those?
This summer I had a conversation with an intelligent and wonderful woman. She is a retiring from the professional world, and about to enter the life of retirement. During our conversation, she mentioned to me about a letter I should have received in the mail. I stated...
Change Your Perspective
This morning I knew exactly what I wanted to write about today. Then, God confirmed it as the preacher (Pastor Brian Stowe) practically took the words right out of my mouth. I guess it was God’s way of confirming the thought. When we were recently vacationing in...
School is now in session:
It’s that time of year…FOOTBALL!! Okay, well, really...school. School is not as exhilarating for some as sports, but it is an important process in life. Being a teacher, even though I’m on leave this year (BIG SMILE and clapping here), I always take time to reflect on...
How to Handle Heaviness
While vacationing in Canada the air was refreshing. It wasn’t so obvious until we arrived back home in Florida. When we gathered our luggage, and exited the airport, we had to inhale deeply. The humidity dangling in the Tampa atmosphere and the excessive heat (even at...
A MUST Read!
Y’all! There is a huge smile on my face, tears in my eyes, and a happy heart right now. Yesterday, Cole rode the four-wheeler to get the mail, and when he returned I saw a thin, brown cardboard package on top of the counter. Observing the size of the package, I knew...
Captivated by God’s Beauty
How appropriate! Last week, we were on the road from Banff to the Calgary International, to return home from a stunningly beautiful Canada vacation, and the song “Overwhelmed” by Big Daddy Weave came on the radio. The lyrics include phrases like: I see the work of...
