HE Is Holding My Hand

    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 …

Knowledge Alone Won’t Catch A Fish

 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 …

Even When I Don’t Feel Like It

    Psalm 139:1-4 (ESV) 1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on …

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 …

Law Turned Into Sacrificial Love

      I am studying Genesis - Deuteronomy right now with a group of ladies. We just finished Exodus and are now moving on to Leviticus. As we were watching the video that goes with the study, I was struck with a frightening thought. One of those thoughts that really puts things into perspective. …

Being Real About Insecurity

I'm back!!!!! 🙂 As I was walking this morning through my neighborhood, I knew that I was supposed to share something today. I told you in my last post that I felt the nudge to be more TRANSPARENT and VULNERABLE with you all. So, here I am..and I hope this post blesses you. There is a …

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 …

LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT GOD

It has been three weeks since my last post!! That's not to say that I haven't had anything to share. No, quite the opposite actually. The funny thing is that I actually began writing one to share earlier this week...but it isn't what was put on my heart to share today. Do you like to …

Listening For HIS “WHOA”

   The other morning I was telling my husband about something that happened earlier that week. He immediately quoted John 10:27 to me. That is where this post began... 🙂    John 10:27 (NIV) ~ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.      Our oldest daughter barrel races …
