Satan Despises Prayer

I couldn’t help but start this little blog this morning with major thank yous. Yesterday I asked for some simple prayers and my goodness the text messages, social media messages and phone calls from people, well, let’s just say I felt the prayers and the love! Thank you so much for reaching out and for…

You’re Not Weak

It’s a busy week ahead. We have a very large event on Thursday that I’m overseeing. Each year our church gives grants to local charities in our county. This year we’ve approved grants to 16 charities, and the event Thursday wraps up the grant process and secures the final funds needed for these organizations. It’s…

Walking in the Wilderness

Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. During this time of Lent, we observe the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness fasting and being tested by satan. It’s hard to imagine all the ways that He was tempted and tested, yet Jesus denied satan at every step, He did not sin. We can…

Forgiveness Starts in the Mirror

I come to this little blog often sharing words about forgiveness. We all know that Father has asked that we not only love others as He loved us, but He also asks us to forgive others as He forgives us. Let’s face it, we make mistakes, we disappoint, we screw up, simply put, we are human. Do you…

Can it Be Said Too Much

I guess it just depends on what you are talking about, whether you can say things too much I mean. If you’re married, you probably can relate to this, the many times my husband will ask me to stop “nagging” him about something 🙂 . I don’t consider it nagging, I’m just reminding, right? While I was…

My husband got a phone call around 4:00 pm from a friend asking if he’d heard what happened. He was calling to let him know that traffic was going to be terrible…

Recenter

It’s one of those mornings when I’m unsure where to start this little blog. There has been a lot going on this week, it’s been busy, and I don’t feel like I’ve gotten as much done as I’d like. My mind is bouncing to all the things I need to do and as I sat with Father…

When You Don’t Have Words

I’m sure we’ve all been in those situations when a family member, friend, or coworker tells you something and you just don’t have words to respond. You hear sad news, or an unbelievable story, someone says something mean, you get what I’m saying, the words you hear just leave you speechless. What happens when you just don’t…

Father First

It might be a short little blog this morning. You see I found myself on the lanai with Father a little longer. This morning it just felt good, well even better than other days, it felt good to just sit and be in conversation with Him. I guess as our relationship with God strengthens, actually a better word…

Taking the Wheel

A few friends reached out to me after reading yesterday’s little blog. I guess I’m not alone in some of the situations I’m finding myself in, truly needing Father’s guidance I mean. I think in all the challenges we face in life there comes a time when you really have to relinquish things to Father. You have to…
