In the Beginning – Hope

Ya, I’m guessing when you see the title of this little blog this morning you might be thinking I’m going to chat about Genesis? Nah, I think Father already spelled out how it all started and goodness knows I don’t want to compete with that, slight, slight humor this morning Father 🙂 . Actually, this…

Who Needs It?

Now I’m guessing when you saw the title of this little blog this morning you might be thinking I’m fed up with something. I remember as a kid, my mom would comfort me if I had a bad day at school, she’d say something like, “Well who needs ’em anyway”, referring to kids who may…

Humbled

Many times in this life we find ourselves in situations where we feel humbled. We find ourselves trying to understand why things happen the way they do. I guess as I write this little blog this morning, reflecting on the past week, I find myself in this place. Humbled. Over the past few days, I’ve…

Bless Your Heart

Doesn’t it seem like it’s easier to get upset about something rather than see the good in a situation? I mean why is it that when you look back on something after time has passed, you can’t really remember why you were upset? Why is it that satan can so easily creep into a slight…

When it Started

As I sit here in what will be my base office for the next nine days I realize that almost exactly two years ago this week is when my relationship with Father really started to deepen. I’m onsite for our conference next week with the final prep work for what will be a pretty awesome…

One Step Closer

The Calm

This morning as I sat on the lanai having my morning chat with Father I prayed He would calm the sea that was about to be angry. Hurricane Idalia is making her way up past Cuba and will soon be picking up speed and intensity. I thought of the story of Jesus in the boat…

The “I” of the Storm

It’s been almost a year since Hurricane Ian made its way through SW Florida. Some parts of this area are still recovering, people still not in their homes, businesses just now reopening, and some areas like Ft. Myers Beach and Sanibel Island will never be the same. Yes, the recovery has been long and has…

When Father Steps In

A few days ago I shared a little bit of a conversation I had with a dear friend who was going through some things. She told me about a family member, a cousin, who had been involved in an accident that resulted in him breaking his back. During that conversation, she shared that he was…

Steak and Cars

Last night my husband and I grabbed dinner at a local steakhouse. It’s a small casual place that has been in business here for 30 years. We love it because the service is wonderful, it’s a small comfy place, and of course, the food is like crazy good! We didn’t have a reservation last night,…
