Ian

As I sit here on Thursday afternoon in my driveway for a bit I’m not even sure where to begin. First and foremost we are safe and ok. Our power is out, cell service is down connecting with the “outside world” is sketchy and much of our beautiful sunshine state is changed forever. Ian has…

In This Together

Well, here we are, in the midst of the big bad boy Ian. It’s been a long night of waiting, listening, and peeking out windows, (not sure why, LOL you can’t see anything). But, over the past 12 hours, I’ve seen God at work. His children helping each other, working on generators, putting up storm…

A Simple Psalm

Happy Monday everyone. Today’s little blog is short and sweet. It’s going to be a busy week around here, Ian is still not sure where he wants to go and is shifting some as of 11pm last night. As I read this Psalm this morning I thought it quite appropriate for the week ahead. As…

Impatience, OY

I’ve found myself many times asking for forgiveness for my impatience. Those days when I’m overwhelmed, (like planning a big event and I can’t find my desk), the smallest thing can trip the trigger. Right?! Time to come to Father who has an INCREDIBLE amount of patience with his children, (even though most days we…

Want to Make God Laugh?

A friend of mine once said, “Do you want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans.” True statement. How often do we go down a path thinking we have a plan all laid out, only to have it totally upended. Everything is going along so smoothly, then wham, the bottom falls out. Remember, our…

The Ultimate Guide

Have you ever questioned or doubted your abilities? Ever thought to yourself, “I can’t apply for that job”, “I don’t have what it takes to lead that community group”, “Me go back to school to get my degree?”. We’ve all had self doubt at one point in time. Instead of loading up on doubt, how…

Trust in Me

This phrase, or similar wording appears more times in the bible than you might think, (go ahead, do some reading). We all have times of fear or anxiety. It’s at these very times that we must “Fear Not” and press in to our Lord even stronger. God will not leave us. That doesn’t mean there…
