Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. He. is. good. Do you believe He is? Even through the job loss The cancer fight The care of an aging parent Or the care of a special needs child? Do you believe He is good? Even through the loneliness and despair of isolation The tension […]
For When You Long for the Quiet
The corn stalks are quiet and salute the setting sun as I walk the powdery dirt path I knew as a child. There’s always something about returning home that calms me, and I’m quiet and take it all in. The birds fly overhead and the sunflowers stand tall. The bees work hard to gather water from the […]
For When You Need To Grasp His Love
There are still times when it is hard for me to grasp how very wide and long and high and deep is God’s unconditional love for me. To grasp no matter what I do, He could never love me more, And no matter what I fail to do, He could never love me less. He loves […]
When Our Heart Aches, He Meets Us Even There
I cry the ugly cry and can hardly type through the blur. My heart is aching and I know the ache is nothing compared with what some others may be facing. But my tears only know my ache, the reality of my situation, and there’s nothing more real than my very own heart. I’m alone, yet I know God is here. I’ve heard […]
How to Be Still and Trust, Even In the Pain
He is still and he trusts me and looks up at me like I’m the love of his life. And how can I resist that smile? With those steel-blue eyes and small gap between his teeth. And I’ve been falling for him since my eyes first met him that January morning over six full years ago. He’s calm […]
For When You Wonder Why You Long To Connect
To connect is food for the soul. And I watch it happen before my eyes … this feeding of a soul. A father and daughter right before me. And what I see is undeniable. How she looks at him. And how he looks at her. How she holds her arms up. And how his strong arms lift […]
When He Asks Me To Dance
He asks us to dance. To follow His lead. To trust His way. I’ve always wanted to glide across a dance floor. And those who do it well make it look so simple and easy, but I know better. It takes work and practice, diligence and perseverance. And if you’re gonna dance, there has to […]
I Will Choose to Trust and Believe … Even if I Cannot See
I sometimes get impatient with God. I don’t always understand the way He’s working and weaving in my life. And I want to see—I want to understand what it all means and what it’s all for. Twenty years ago, I would never have guessed my journey would have looked like it has, like this. But […]
On Finding Life, Righteousness, and Honor
I long to have a full and rich life. To be known as a person of honor and one who does what is right, even when no one is looking. And God wants that for me too. Â He wants my attitudes and actions to be patterned after His character. He wants me to have […]

If you are in need of some support and accountability to read your Bible daily, I highly recommend joining them. This session, they are studying […]
