“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) A year ago my cousin invited me to meet up with her in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I’ve wanted to visit this string of barrier islands for years, so eager […]
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 (NLT) Silent Saturday. The one day of Holy Week we don’t hear much about. Palm Sunday and Good […]
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.” John 5:46 (ESV) I love those times when the Lord proves, again and again, His Word is “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword”. (Heb. 4:12 ) Last week studying John 5 was certainly one of those times. Jesus had […]
“Jesus said to him, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!’ ” (John 21:22) ESV I’m gonna shoot that bird if he’s not gone when we get back from vacation! My husband was at his wits end. Cringing, I immediately said a prayer… […]
“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10) NLT There are some who believe my constant journaling is what keeps me sane, calm and even keel. And while […]
“Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” (Proverbs 22:6) NLT I hate family tension. Those times when conversations become a bit heated and drama seems to invade out of nowhere. Times when we’re misunderstood or not being heard like we desperately expect. I’m a peacemaker […]
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV) I’m sorry. It’s been over a year since my last blog post. A fact I never thought I’d have to write. But I want you to know I […]
“Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God’s approval!…” (Galatians 1:10 GNT) Have you ever watched squirrels? I know. That’s kinda random isn’t it? But seriously, if you get a chance, do it. They’re comical. Our neighborhood is full of squirrels. From gathering nuts […]
“Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.” (Romans 12:18 NLT) Silence is golden. The famous words of wisdom passed through the years. You know… open your ears, not your mouth… put a sock in it… or I love how my sister says it: zip your lip, chip! But there are times […]
In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 HCSB There’s no doubt 2020 has plunged us down the track of a wild ride we never stood in line for. And with each twisty turn and […]
My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness (James 1:19-20 CSB) I’d love to be able to dance. Not the typical sway back and forth boring middle school dance either. I’m talking about clenching a […]
“For it is God who is working in you, enabling you both to desire and to work out His good purpose.” (Phil 2:13 HCSB) Hi and welcome to my introductory blog post! Phew… the last year or so has been tricky, but I’m so happy to finally be here. And for the next few minutes […]
