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 …

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! …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
