Joy, and her friend happiness, are so very different. Joy transcends circumstances and goes beyond the now… Happiness lives in the moment and comes and goes with its whims. Joy resides deep within, and originates from the core of who we are… Happiness resides in the circumstance, whatever it may be. Joy is from […]
Over the Top!
I’m still reeling and reveling in my experience this past weekend…a Women of Faith, over-the-top arena event, with thousands of women joined together in worship… To learn, and cry, and laugh, and be inspired together… To sit in the midst of so many who love our God, and to pursue together… The richness of His grace… The redemptive power of […]
Undone
As he slammed the car door and walked away, it felt as if part of my heart had been ripped from me. This six-foot-two son’s back, moving farther and farther away. I watched as he opened the front door and walked right straight through, no turning back. How had this impasse even developed? How could this […]
A Broken Hallelujah
In Real Life… …I’m a mess at times, and much more broken than I seem. In real life I long to belong. I long to relate. I long to connect. I long to know and be known by another. In real life, with each life change and circumstance shift, I’m being stretched and challenged. And I am growing and […]
The Choice for which Change Begs
Change. A constant ebb and flow of life. Like a tide coming in and going out, always going, and travelling, and moving to and fro. And its inevitability is unavoidable and inescapable; A fact we can certainly be sure of. And I have had my share of change lately. New concepts and policies at work, my first year homeschooling, a […]
Quieted with His Love
Sundays are for knowing He is with us, and for our hearts being quieted by His overwhelming and amazing love… May your heart know He is with you…that He IS mighty to save, and may you be quieted with His love as He sings over you this day, is my prayer. How have you been overwhelmed […]
Satisfying Rest
Rest. I must admit, it’s a rare commodity for me these days. I am going a million gazillion miles a minute in this new vibrant, invigorated, and very full life of mine. So many hats…a wife, mom, teacher, friend, mentor, nurse, daughter… so many purposes and goals, and still only a finite number of minutes […]
Bible in 90 Days {Week 8}
What an amazing time I continue to have reading the Bible in 90 days! Today…day #51, and as I’m continuing to read I am learning so much! There is so much to absorb and learn in God’s Word, and yet reading at this pace brings it together in a unique and awesome way!
I Can Still Remember, and I Give Thanks
I can still remember as I sat on the couch that day, tears streaming in an unrelenting flow and I will never forget that day in May…the very day that would have been my 9th wedding anniversary of my previous marriage. Me having been divorced…and now remarried. Me experiencing, that day, the first of my […]
Being Held in His Hand
Sundays are for looking to Him, and knowing He will strengthen and help you and uphold you with His righteous right hand… May you surrender any anxiety and fear this day, and know He is holding you in His righteous right hand. How has He strengthened and helped you?
