Tea Leaves AND Time

Tea leaves...Time...Laughter...Memories. I'm normally a coffee drinker. Love my coffee. Every morning. My momma, my daughters, and I are enjoying a girls trip. We are visiting my aunt and family in North Georgia. My aunt and cousin love to go to tea at the neatest little place. {Tea Leaves & Thyme} So much fun! They …

Missed Blessings

That nudge I get, the one that I can't ignore, that's The Holy Spirit. My JESUS living in me. Convicting. Pushing. Nudging. HIS presence. Every single time that I obey whatever it is that God lays on my heart, I am blessed. Usually the obedience is preceded with an uncomfortable feeling of SELF fighting with …

The Harvest IS Plentiful

I don't know about you, but for me, normally when I can't stand the place I am visiting, I don't ever want to go back. Like ever. For those who don't know, my family went on a mission trip to New Orleans this summer. People warned me of the smells, and even the fluids that …

Without JESUS

I've found that with grief comes moodiness. Some days I'm more irritable than others. Some parts of the day I'm "ok" and at other moments I'm not. Not many people see those sides of my grief. Or if they do, I don't even realize it. Truth is, I don't know when the low moments will …

Thankful Thursday ~ October 17th 2013

A wise person once said: " Every day may not be good....but there is something good in every day. " It is only 6 WEEKS until Thanksgiving! Here in South Georgia the extremely hot days have turned into 80s on some days. That's better than 100 though! Leaves are falling. The skies are looking more …

Some Days are Hard

SHORT and SWEET SIMPLE TRUTHS   Some days ARE harder than others. Harder to choose joy. Harder to be patient. Harder to believe that things will get better. ROMANS 12:12 ~ Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. I don't know about you, but on those days, I'm even more heaven ready. …

When You Are Hurting

I wish I could give a simple answer. An AHA!! type of  answer..that could make things make sense to people who are hurting.   I can't.   I can only point the hurting to the ONE who heals all hurt. In HIS time..in HIS way. The ONE who promises to never leave us. The ONE …

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 …
