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 …

Thankful Thursdays ~ March 21st

    I decided to start posting these "Thankful Thursdays" again. See, it is easy to get out of the habit of practicing thanksgiving, and I need little reminders from time to time. Maybe you do as well. While doing one of my morning daily devotions, One Thousand Gifts Devotional by Ann Voskamp, I just …

Do you ever have days where you are just in a "funk"? Days when you question your decisions.... Days when you ponder your future choices...

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 …

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 …
