Even When

    Even when...things are falling apart, God is still God. HE remains sovereign. HE is always good, and only capable of LOVE.   Even when...things fall and break into tiny pieces...like one of my favorite coffee mugs did this morning..it's not the end of the world.   God knows all. HE is in control …

Just Take That Step

I have gotten into the habit of saying that I have a "brown thumb". Truth is, I have had a LAZY thumb. Yes, you heard that right. It's a matter of discipline. Remembering to water, feed, and weed these plants. It's a choice. To watch them grow to their full potential or let them starve …

Cutting Loose

I think it is extremely important for us to remember that ANYTHING or ANYONE that we put first in our lives...becomes an idol. So, if it isn't God that is first...then we have to re-adjust..re-order the things in our lives. With that being said.... Do you have too much on your plate? Are you loaded …

Give Thanks or Complain ~ Thankful Thursdays

BE Little Again

       1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ~ Be joyful always; Pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.   It's been raining..raining...and raining some more in our "neck of the woods". 🙂 Puddles everywhere. As we were getting ready to leave one of the buildings at the women's retreat …

Slow Down

  Psalm 90:12 ~ Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom   There are times when I can be so impatient with my husband and daughters..especially our youngest. She's the one who is most like him. I find myself rushing our girls. Hurry up. Come on. Let's go. …

That’s. Not. Healthy.

I'm good at stuffing. Stuffing drawers. Stuffing cabinets. Stuffing closets. AND, yes, stuffing my feelings. Throw it all in and hurry and slam it shut before it falls out or comes undone. Just, out of sight, out of mind. That's. Not. Healthy. So, to be honest..it took me writing out my testimony to realize some …
