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 […]

Choose Joy
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 […]
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 […]
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.

Removing the Remnants
On a hot June day, with a silent and grumbling heart, I pulled into the parking lot, the heat of the day pressing down and unrelenting no matter my task at hand. Me here to serve, and my heart not really here. And the project before me…this abandoned lot…ridden with weeds and needing restoration, a need for the weeds […]
With Hearts Kneeled and Bowed Down

To Choose to See the Beauty
It’s been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder…and isn’t it? And isn’t it true that everything really is a choice? A choice to behold the beauty in the moment…to really SEE it. To open our eyes, and shift our pessimistic and prideful perspective, to take on His. Him who created all things… […]
