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

    Ephesians 5:20 ~ And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.   Give THANKS for EVERYTHING? Even when the kids are fussing? When the puppy (who is 18 months old) is still tearing things up on a daily basis? When the kids talk back? Give …

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. …

Prayer Is A Beautiful Thing

    Colossians 4:2 ~ Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.    Why is it, that we tend to look at prayer as a last resort? Oh...come on..don't tell me you always think "let me pray first." We like to think of ourselves this way. We like for others to think of us …

Reflections

        Like a lot of others, as this year comes to an end, I am reflecting. Reflecting on the past year. The choices made. The changes that need to be made in the coming year. There is always room to grow. Room for improvement. We have never "arrived". We have to keep …

Just Passing Through

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. (Psalms 34:18 NLT) There are things in this world that happen, that I'll never understand. I won't claim to understand. This I know, My Savior.. My Redeemer, is GOOD. The truth is that this world that we live in is broken …
