Thankful Thursdays ~ October 11th

It's funny, since starting these Thursday posts, I seem to be more aware of things and people who I am thankful for. Gifts and blessings from God that I am more aware of. I look forward to these Thursday posts. To get to share with all of you..and read your comments about what you are …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Transparent, Vulnerable and Unashamed

There's just something about sharing the deepest parts of yourself with others. The ugly parts that God has turned into something beautiful. It's a vulnerable place to be in. An out of your comfort zone place. Yet, it's a place that God is glorified in. I am reminded in Acts 22...when Paul asks to speak to …

It’s ALL About Love

    Well, it has taken me a bit longer to process these thoughts and truths that have been jumping around in my head. I know that I have shared before, that I take this "writing" or "blogging" thing very serious. AND...Sometimes...that means just waiting and being still. Waiting for God. I have learned patience …

HE loves You, Flaws and All

  As I was exercising on my treadmill (yay me!!), I had my earphones in and was listening to some awesome praise and worship music. It is a wonder that I didn't fall off. Picture it : Treadmill...Music...Caught up in worshipping my Redeemer..hands raised...eyes closed...it was beautiful. Thank goodness. 🙂 Believe me, it could have …

Jesus Others and then Yourself~Tis The Season for JOY

   Tis the season for giving thanks, for remembering the birth of our Savior Jesus and for making memories. Traditions are a huge part of this time of the year for me and my family. I thought I would share with you a few of the things that my family and I love to do …

You Can’t Live In Two Places At The Same Time

The other night we were watching a documentary on TV and the man made a profound statement. In reference to his terrible childhood, he said: "You can't live in two places at the same time." Wow! I mean, that's so true. You can't be living in the present if you are still living in the …

He Takes Us By The Hand

      There have been many times in my life when I have prayed for wisdom and discernment. During times of uncertainty..times when I wasn't sure what to believe. It is during those times when we tend to seek God more anyways. Do we listen though? Do we wait and really pay attention when He …
