THANKFUL THURSDAYS ~ October 4th

It's that time again! I have been looking forward to Thursday all week!   I wonder...did you think more about what you were thankful for? I did! I loved the comments.. Loved hearing what YOU were thankful for!    Colossians 4:2 ~ Devote yourselves to prayer  with an alert mindand a thankful heart.   Not …

An Empty Package

What if you got a gift bag and you filled it with pretty tissue paper and put a beautiful bow on the outside?  BUT...you didn't actually put a present inside the bag. It sure is pretty. Decorated just gorgeous. BUT..it's empty. Pretty much a waste isn't it? What's the point of it? Would you want that …

When You Go

We stood outside. Taking pictures with our cell phones before we went in to eat at the busy restaurant. Out of the corner of our eyes, we saw him. Long, scruffy looking beard. Hat on and carrying some plastic bags. Talking to random people in the parking lot. We assumed he just wanted money. We …

Thankful Thursdays ~ September 27th

    It feels really good to stop and count my blessings and just thank HIM for them all. I tweeted a question earlier today. "What are three  things that you are thankful for today?"    Then, I answered them. I couldn't stop at THREE. It felt really good to stop and thank my Jesus! …

HE Is Holding My Hand

    Sometimes, I regress. There are days that I find myself crawling back to my little comfort zone. The one that wants to just hide out from the rest of the world. The one that held me captive for many years. The place where I am safe from rejection. Safe from criticism. Safe from …

Who Do You Run To?

I love music.  Always have. From my days as a little kid playing the piano..to my days of my youth when I sang and played the flute. I just love music. It is an escape of sorts. A refuge. A healing balm even.  I am so thankful that God chooses to speak to us through …

Knowledge Alone Won’t Catch A Fish

 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. ~ Romans 2:13 (ESV)    I can watch Cooking shows on TV, collect recipes, buy cookbooks...but that doesn't put dinner on the table.(just ask my sweet husband..:) )    I can …

Even When I Don’t Feel Like It

    Psalm 139:1-4 (ESV) 1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on …

Show Them Jesus

Recently, someone asked me a question. HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS? Someone who doesn't want to hear about HIM..someone who has chosen to reject HIM.. My answer: You live it. They simply need you to SHOW THEM JESUS. They don't need for you to hit them over the head with The Bible..they don't …

Come a long way…

So...lately, a certain word keeps popping up. Like all the time. In my quiet time. In my "digging deeper" study time in HIS Word. In life in general. Have you ever had this happen? You probably have. Do you try to ignore it..just a little bit? I know that I do sometimes. Why? Because, that …
