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
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…

Yes, the recovery has been long and has…

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,…

Simple and Needed
Sometimes I come here to this little blog and have all the words ready to go. Sometimes I come here to this little blog and have no idea what to say. Sometimes I come here to this little blog and know that it’s ok if what I say isn’t lengthy, isn’t profound, (well that’s most…

When Father Answers
Friends, over the past almost two weeks I’ve been coming here asking for your prayers. I know I can always count on you to support whatever prayer needs come up, and you did not disappoint this time either. I want to say thank you for those faithful prayers! You see, I got word yesterday that…
