Take the Time to Chat

Last night we found a rare occasion when my husband and I actually had time to chat while making dinner. We found ourselves stepping away from work while it was still light outside and actually surprised ourselves when we had eaten and cleaned up the dishes and it wasn’t close to 8:00pm. That is unusual…

Sometimes Just a Reminder

There are days when a song just keeps playing in my head. Maybe that’s Father putting reminders out there for me. Well, today was one of those days. For some reason I woke up hearing this song in my head. I just figured it was God saying, just share this today. So, you all get…

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

Bless Your Heart

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

Thank you friends for your prayers over the past 24 hours. Our area of SW Florida was spared this go around with Idalia moving through. Though I will admit there was a point yesterday when I didn’t think I had ever heard so many tornado sirens and notifications go off at one time, we were…

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…
