I had such a vivid example of childlike faith last week. I was in the car with my curly girl, and we were on a little roadtrip on our day off. On the way back, it was beyond naptime, so she dozed off in her carseat in about 30 seconds. (I remember car naps being […]
I was reading the what people call the “Faith Hall of Fame” passage in Hebrews the other day – if you haven’t read it recently, check it out here. (Noticing lots of “faith” themes in my posts recently?! These days I’m learning all about not knowing but believing and going just the same!) The whole […]
This is one of those posts that is trying to get out all on its own, and I have to write it when no one else is around because the tears are probably going to stream down my face as I type. For me, writing is, and always has been cathartic, and sometimes it just […]
Well, everyone, this one is more of a journal entry than an actual blog post….as of last night, I had nothing earth shattering to share with you, because yesterday was just a Hard day. Yes, capital H hard. I read today in Mark 13:11 to not worry about being prepared, that the Holy Spirit will […]
I was reading my devotional a few weeks ago, around the first of the year, and the words, “refresh” and “renew” kept coming up. And now, a few times this week, I have heard or had repeated the words “remain” or “abide”. What do these words mean? I looked them up in the Webster online […]
It seems like Christmas was a long time ago, but we are still in January, and so technically the year is still new, right? How are those resolutions coming? I hit a slight “doldrum” week last week with being off schedule, going through a little sickness, and then the snowstorm throwing us all off kilter, […]
I have a question for you: What if the worst thing to ever have happened to you actually wasn’t the worst thing to have happened to you? October is well-known to be Breast Cancer Awareness month, but, since 1988, President Reagan also declared it to be designated as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. If […]
When I was a kid, and even into my teen years, I was pretty independent – “headstrong” and “willful” are some terms you would have used to describe me! I mostly did what I wanted to do without spending too much time thinking of that others might think, or what the consequences would be. My […]
Ok, everyone, this week we are going to talk about lies. I wrote a few months ago that one of my goals for this year was to be more informed about current events — I am failing miserably so far — BUT when the hullabaloo hit the fan in the past week or two about the […]
Hold tight, this one may be a little heavy. My mind was racing last night as I was praying about what to write this week — sometimes my thoughts just overtake my mind, and I can’t sleep until I write them down. I pray that I can write this all out clearly and that whomever […]
