Hard to Describe

My husband and I left work intentionally at an earlier time than usual. Notice I didn’t say we left early, 🙂 . We left with a purpose, to enjoy happy hour at one of our local establishments. When we arrived, there were two seats in a great spot, lively conversation with other couples, wonderful nosh,…

You Can Never Have Enough

It’s been sort of a whirlwind week. We had several events at church, one last night was our annual event to bring awareness and support to the charity partners we assist here in our county. What a wonderful event and so much support for so many who do so much. I’m dragging a bit, but…

Comfort in a Song

Music is a powerful thing. It can bring incredible joy, invoke memories, and heal brokenness. Some songs are so powerful that the emotion they stir can often find the listener in tears. Today, friends, I’m just sharing a song I’ve come to love. It’s a powerful song with a message: we are God’s children, and…

Are Ya Kidding Me?

Today is a better day. Many thanks to all of you who texted and offered prayers for my out-of-sorts day yesterday. It truly helped, and Father did as He always does: He provided the distractions and opportunities to do what He wanted me to do. So, today, I didn’t lie back down, nope, up and…

Out of Sorts…Prayer

I’m not focused today. There, I said it 🙂 . My mind is wandering all over the place today. I had my morning prayer time with Father, sat down right after, and read from His word, and then felt this overwhelming “take a break” moment. I actually lay back down for a few moments, dozed…

What Will it be Like

His Words Are Enough

They really are, you know. Those days when you feel a little down, and you don’t know why. Those days when you feel melancholy and just out of sorts, the word of the Lord is all we need. I guess today is one of those days. The weather is gloomy, trust me, we’ll take the…

The Firsts

Grief can be a very difficult thing. It’s a very personal process. Everyone grieves in their own way, and to say what one should be feeling, well, we can’t do that. We all know there are stages of grief, and sometimes those stages seem unbearable. I do believe, though, that we must go through them…

Be Intentional

For Lent, I committed to reading more of my Bible. I’ve been intentional about it, sitting down and even moving things out of the way on my desk, so that my Bible is the focus. Many years ago, I was listening to a podcast, which was a Bible study of sorts. Anyway, at one point,…

Subtle Pep Talk

This morning, I noticed that the rest of the community was very quiet. Of course, it was dark outside; it usually is when we get up during the week. But this morning, even the neighbors who are usually up when we are weren’t. Homes were still dark, and as I sat out on the lanai,…
