I am ordinary… I am a daughter, a wife, a mother, a friend… An encourager, a cheerleader, a cleaner, a chauffeur, a writer, …and a dreamer among other things. I have little to credit to my name I have not written a book I have not spoken to thousands And hardly anyone knows my name I […]
Perfectionistic Tendencies
I walked in the door and was shockingly reminded of the mess I had left behind… Dust footprints now on the wood floor that was mopped just two days ago, Laundry begging to be started, A mess all over the kitchen counter…cereal bowls, crayons, toys… Nothing but peanut butter in the pantry for lunch, Toys […]
The Path of Life
Sundays are for seeing His path and for walking joyfully with Him… May you experience, this day, all the joy and pleasure that can only be found in walking the path He has for you, is my prayer… What joys have you been experiencing on your path?
Marathons and Fears
I sit in the stillness of the midnight hour, and this house is finally still. And it is only in the wee hours when my body should be sleeping that I find it like this, me sitting here in the aftermath of another day. And I’m running a marathon that has no end. There are […]
Trading Poverty for Wealth…One Verse at a Time
The morning sun gleamed through the wood shutters as I settled myself into my regular spot on the couch, the spot I’ve grown familiar with…the place where we meet…where I read and I talk, and listen and ponder and grow. This, a daily privilege I enjoy, just me alone with Him, in this place…the place […]
Grandeur of the Heavens
Sundays are for declaring His majesty… For seeing the grandeur of the heavens… and for marveling at His mindfulness of me… May you declare His majesty, be in awe of His creation, and marvel in His mindfulness of you, this day, is my prayer. What is your favorite part of God’s creation?
Growing Takes Time
Growing takes time. It involves maturing and the gaining of wisdom and knowledge. And the beginning of wisdom and knowledge is the fear of the Lord. A complete reverence and awe of Him who is in Ultimate control of all things. Him who is Sovereign, who gives and takes away…who blesses and withholds blessings […]

Hope and Thanks
There I am, standing in the vastness of the auditorium, in the presence of thousands…my high-maintenance-morning-Starbucks drink in the cupholder…and the worship slowing…a pause, for us to all ponder and consider Him. And my eyes catch the glimpse of the cross on the wall, illuminated from behind. And my mind flashes to the images of Him upon it. And I am humbled, […]
Satisfied for ALL He gives
Sundays are for giving thanks for His unfailing love, and for being satisfied with ALL that He gives…Â This day, may you rest and be satisfied, in Him, and His unfailing love, and may you give thanks to Him for ALL He gives… What are you thanking Him for today?
