The Wonder and a Thank You

As I’ve made my way around the hotel these last few days I’ve been smiling to myself as I watch the little children running with excitement. Young families with multi-seat strollers, backpacks, sunscreen, and all the rest of the “gear” they need to head to Universal Studios. In the afternoon I see them all heading…

Ya, Say I Won’t

Sometimes when life brings things our way it’s easy to be overwhelmed, and it’s easy to doubt what you can do. I think that is satans little way of getting into our thoughts. Whenever possible he will put those doubts squarely where they hit us in the face. He wants nothing more than for us…

Sometimes Step Away

You know, when you are going 100 miles an hour and your brain is filled with all the things to do, sometimes it’s best to just stop and step away. Sometimes it’s the only way you will be able to think through what needs to be done. That’s where I’m at this morning. I made…

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…

When Father Steps In

A few days ago I shared a little bit of a conversation I had with a dear friend who was going through some things. She told me about a family member, a cousin, who had been involved in an accident that resulted in him breaking his back. During that conversation, she shared that he was…

You Got This

It’s the time of the year when things get pretty crazy with me. Well that little statement could go in about 50 different directions couldn’t it? If you’ve been coming here long to read this little blog, you know that there is a very large professional education event I plan each year at this time.…

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…

Put it Down

I made my way out to my lanai this morning to have my morning conversation with Father. I’ve mentioned before that I enjoy this time of the morning outside. It’s so peaceful and quiet and you can actually think for a bit. As I talked with God and lifted continued prayers for Baby M, I…
