Walking with God

Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. Romans 12:12 What a way to make a girl feel comfortable and like she’s surrounded by God’s grace. Yesterday I entered through the doors at Advance Surgical Center in Tampa. When I checked in I...

Psalm 16:7-8, “I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.” Okay, so if He is guiding me and always beside me, why do I make dumb choices? Folks, our...

Today is my husband’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TIM! Allow me to share something, okay…a few things, with you about Tim. Throughout these past thirteen days he has proven himself to be a true man of God. In Philippians 2:14 it says, “Do everything without grumbling or...

We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 We are family. Are we perfect? No. Do we always get along or agree? Ha! Do we drive each other crazy? In good and bad ways. We may not always like each other, but we so do LOVE each other. It thrills my soul when I have...

1 Corinthians 11:19, “There must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized.” Over the past year, it has been quite evident how divided our country is over this past presidential election. It truly saddens me. Yet, this isn’t...

I must find the comedy in this: Last week when the electrician went to hang my new pendants above the kitchen island, he carefully opened the box and said, “Ut-oh, you need to see this. I haven’t moved this box and notice what’s inside.” My husband and I peered inside...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Y’ALL! Counting our blessings need not to be something we do or talk about just this time of the year, but for always. Yet, during this season of thanks our blessings are brought to the forefront of our minds and pressed on our hearts, and...

  God’s gone and done it again! THANK YOU, JESUS, for putting me in my place! Yesterday was one of those days like the children’s book I used to read to my second graders: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Days, only it was “Stephanie’s...

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. Romans 15:4 One of my favorite sounds is to hear the pages of the bible being turned as...

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;” Psalm 46:10 Well, tis the season…of busyness…I mean of counting out blessings and being grateful. Why? Why do we get our selves all in a tizzy over trivial matters in life? We need to be reminded to slow down and do what...

What is it about this song that just gets to me? I can remember driving to pick up one of my children from elementary school (and that’s been YEARS ago), hearing Mercy Me’s “Word of God Speak” come across my radio, and I just start singing right along with them,...

I’ve been quiet on my journaling, but God still speaks volumes to me. (Praise the Lord!) Renovating a home has been a process of renovating my heart as well. We are EXACTLY one week away until we close on the sale of the home which my husband AND children were raised...
