Happy World Kindness Day

Today is World Kindness Day, which I honestly didn't even know existed! But what a much needed thing right now! I was reflecting on kind acts that others have bestowed upon me, and I was reminded of a time sitting in McDonald's drive through and I was feeling distant from God, and wondered if He … Continue reading Happy World Kindness Day →

Deadheading for Spring

I have recently developed a small area in my yard as a butterfly and hummingbird garden. It is such a joy!! It is teaching me a lot about God's creatures that visit, and also about my plants, which I'm loving! I'm now in "prepare for winter" mode, and I'm sowing seeds, deadheading and cutting down … Continue reading Deadheading for Spring →

Obedience in Small Things

I began a Bible study with a wonderful group of friends last week. It's a new book called, Do It Afraid by Joyce Meyer. In the first chapter it talks about how fear can keep us from choosing to live out the life God has predestined for us. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are His … Continue reading Obedience in Small Things →

P-R-A-Y

If I'm being honest, my prayer life is something I struggle with.  We are clearly instructed to pray in the Bible.  In Ephesians we are told to "pray at all times" (Ephesians 6: 18 CSB), and 1 Thessalonians we are told to "pray constantly" (1 Thessalonians 5:17 CSB).  Jesus says in Matthew, "WHEN you pray" … Continue reading P-R-A-Y →

Surrender

One word that God has placed on my heart lately is SURRENDER.  Just a single word, but it's a tough word for me, because I need to follow it with TRUST.  As you know, I deal with anxiety and surrendering things to God is difficult.  I like to be in control.  I like to know … Continue reading Surrender →

Who Needs Rest?

As the weather gets colder (we've already had snow here in Kentucky!) and the days get shorter it's a sure sign winter is coming (or already here!).  It is something my husband and I dread and always brings about conversations about our plans for moving south (much more south) when our kids are grown and … Continue reading Who Needs Rest? →

Joshua 4: Memorial Stones

Joshua 4:7, "you should tell them, 'the water of the Jordan was cut off in front of the ark of the Lord's covenant. When it crossed the Jordan, the Jordan's water was cut off.' Therefore these stones will always be a memorial for the Israelites' ". Yesterday we talked about how easy it was to … Continue reading Joshua 4: Memorial Stones →

Joshua 2: Rahab and the Spies

Joshua 2: 11 CSB, "When we heard this, we lost heart, and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below". I love the story of Rahab!  I love God's love for His people and that He accepts us, regardless of our past!  Rahab's … Continue reading Joshua 2: Rahab and the Spies →

Nothing But the Blood

This past weekend my family and I took a "before-school-starts-back" trip to New York.  The last couple of years we have tried doing something the weekend before school starts to get some uninterrupted family time before the early morning routines and the busy afternoons get going again.  The first day, we saw Aladdin on Broadway … Continue reading Nothing But the Blood →

Returning to God

"While Ezra prayed and confessed, weeping and falling facedown before the house of God, an extremely large assembly of Isrealite men, women, and children gathered around him.  The people also weeped bitterly" (Ezra 10:1 CSB). This was the first verse I read during my quiet time today, and I was so struck by it.  Ezra … Continue reading Returning to God →
