Hand It Over

Sometimes it’s all we can do. We must hand it over to Father and let him do the rest. There are so many things in this life that are out of our control, and being the humans that we are, it isn’t easy to accept many times, that things are out of our control I…

From the Heart

These three little words, from the heart, they can mean so much depending on the context. As I was thinking about this little blog post this morning, doing what I often do, asking Father for guidance, the word forgiveness popped into my head. So I asked, “Ok Father, I write about forgiveness quite a bit,…

I Won’t

I mentioned in this little blog yesterday that on Friday evening I began getting text messages and seeing posts on social media about the opening ceremonies of the olympics. As I mentioned yesterday I didn’t watch the ceremonies, and honestly haven’t watched the olympics since they started allowing professional athletes to compete. As yesterday progressed…

The Pillar of Prayer

If you are like me, you offer prayers to Father many times a day. Some days I offer more than others, depending on what is happening. I guess we’re all probably that way. If things are going well in our lives, then we enjoy and have that occasional chat with Him. However, when things get…

When God Has Other Plans

Last week, a friend of mine got terrible news about her mother-in-law. She had a stroke and the outlook was not good. We all watched for updates as she was in ICU and unresponsive. The news the doctors gave was she probably would not recover. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, you dread those words, the admission that the doctors…

Foundations

Last Friday I was at the gym for my usual morning class. I really like the instructor on Fridays. He makes a point of going around the room through the entire class, encouraging, correcting, adjusting, and suggesting ways to improve the techniques we are learning. Most of the people in my 6:00 a.m. class are…

“Joe” and the Gym

Yesterday morning I went to the gym as I usually do. It’s always fun trying to get a parking space as there is a class before mine. I had to park a little further away than usual, and I noticed that there was someone in the car across from me. I hopped out of the…

The Noise

Have you noticed the noise lately? All around us, there is noise, and I’m not just referring to sounds. The activities, distractions, and so many things that keep us from doing what needs to be done. This morning, I sat down to have my morning time with Father. My head was filled with so many…

In the Open

My husband and I have a practice of saying grace before we eat. It doesn’t matter if we’re grabbing something quick while driving, having holiday dinner, breakfast with friends, or just eating at the kitchen table at home, we say a little prayer. It’s just ingrained in us, it’s second nature and we just give…

Heavy Lifting

I’m pretty routine about going to my little gym. I’ve been a member there since not long after we moved here. Though it’s changed ownership, much of the clientele remained and our 6:00 a.m. group is pretty consistent. The type of workouts changed with the new ownership over a year ago, they really focus more…
