A poem I came across this morning. One day when walking down the street, On business bent, while thinking hard About the “hundred cares” which seemed Like thunder clouds about to break In torrents, Self-pity said to me: “You poor, poor thing, you have too much To do. Your life is far too hard. This… Continue reading On Self-pity

It's been two years since I wrote this. And oh, how I needed to see it this morning. My heart, my spirit... they are still walking with a limp. But they are walking, slowly, timidly, back to where they belong. Oh Lord, take the eyes of our hearts and our understanding - our knowing -… Continue reading Find Me

You don’t have to go far on the internet these days to find an article questioning or criticizing modern worship. One of the frequent criticisms is that this generation’s worship is far too focused on us, on our need for God, and what God has done or can do for us, instead of Who and… Continue reading First Love: Our Self-Centered, Modern Worship (?)

To my fellow truth-seekers, I would say this: Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it. Often, the truth is more painful than what your perceived reality has always been. But no matter how painful, the truth is what sets you free and allows you to pick yourself up, dust off the… Continue reading Hide and Seek – When Everything You’ve Based Your Life on Falls Apart

... in a season where my deepest, most core beliefs have been knocked out from underneath me, block by block, piece by blessed piece. This is when knowing who we are in Christ is so vitally important. If I did not know that I am a daughter of the most high God, I would be… Continue reading Free-falling

7:20 a.m.  YIKES!!  I fly out of bed, run around throwing on lights - "TEN MINUTES!!! WE HAVE TO BE OUT IN TEN MINUTES!"  Everyone jumps, runs, dresses, grabs, gets to the car, to school on time. Phew!  On with the day. To work.  Times need to be entered. Internet won't cooperate. Or maybe it's… Continue reading Be Salty. Be Sweet. Shine!

God's Word says, "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love,… Continue reading My take on the Love chapter

Funniest thing... Friday morning, returning from a memorial service (not funny), trudging up the stairs with a heavy heart, I get to the top, open the door, and there are my kids, blocking my way. “You can’t come in!” What? “No no no, please, you can’t come in!! Go away!” Seriously? So I asked if… Continue reading Love U Mom

I give up.  I do.  I am done.  Will somebody please come to my house (while nobody is home), light it on fire (just the inside), and then put it out after the entire interior of my house is gutted?  Oh, and let me get out my photos, Bible, and laptop first.  The jewelry was… Continue reading Where’s my Fairy Godmother?

Sweet sisters... be very aware of the enemy of your soul - he roams around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour... ...and when he finds a willing victim, he devours her confidence, her dreams, her ambitions, her goals, and her belief in her God-given talents and abilities. In their place, he leaves… Continue reading Moving From Fear to Truth
