Be Strong and Courageous

If you’re of a certain age, you will remember a TV show called “Different Strokes”.  The main character, Arnold Jackson played by Gary Coleman, had a line that he always used when his brother Willis, played by Todd Bridges, would say something odd.  And that line was “What you talkin’ bout Willis?”. God gives me scriptures and topics for my… Read More

It’s Not What You Know But Who You Know

It’s Not What You Know But Who You Know

When you’re baking a cake, you have an idea of what it’s supposed to look like when you finish, right?  Somewhere you have a visual, whether it’s a memory or a picture you’ve seen attached to a recipe.  We go forward with confidence because we have all the ingredients and we have a roadmap (or recipe) that is supposed to… Read More

New Wineskin

New Wineskin

Maxine has been good to us.  Maxine is the nickname I gave the 14-year old Tahoe my husband drives.  I think it has over 300,000 miles on it.  But she’s a workhorse.  Almost every part of Maxine has been replaced.  She’s got some scars, like the ones I contributed trying to back out of the garage, but that’s a story… Read More

Setting Your Intention

Setting Your Intention

          Nothing calms me like the sound of water and waves.  While on vacation in Jamaica recently, I decided to take advantage of an 8 a.m. yoga class on a Saturday morning by the beautiful blue Caribbean ocean.  I guess 8 a.m. yoga on Saturday morning is not a popular pick for vacationers as I was… Read More

Lead Me to the Rock

August 18, 2019 Hear my cry, O God, from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint.  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.  Psalm 61:1-3 It seems to me no matter how much and how often you decide… Read More

Protect Your Testimony

August 2, 2019 There were a couple of situations this week that just grieved my spirit and I could not put my finger on why I felt so disappointed.  Women who I know to be Christians were behaving in ways contrary to the women that I know them to be.  Then early this morning God spoke “testimony” in my spirit….

Enjoy the Lord: Journey to Joy Day 10

July 18, 2019 When I started this journey to joy a couple of weeks ago it was because I felt like all of my joy had been sucked from me.  A work situation really had me bummed out and I will admit it felt like a really dry spot.  I blamed the other person for being heartless and mean.  Honestly,… Read More

Push Through to Get To: Journey to Joy Day 9

July 15, 2019 Our pastor preached from 1 Peter 1:6-7 yesterday with a sermon topic of “When Your Faith is Tried”.  In the NIV, the verse reads:  In all this, you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of… Read More

Boundaries Fences and Borders: Journey to Joy Day 8

Boundaries. Fences. Borders.  Sometimes these are used to keep things in and sometimes to keep things out.  Over the past few days, we’ve been talking about our joy.  We explored how to get it and where it comes from.  But how do you keep it, once you have it?  You’ve been spending time with the Lord, and you’re following His… Read More

Hi!

I’m glad you found my blog! I’m a mom, a wife, college administrator, AKA woman, and follower of Jesus Christ. After raising our family, I started to talk with God about what He wanted me to do. I’ve always loved to write and one day I heard Him clearly say…Go do that. So that’s what I do here. I observe life, meditate on it, listen for the lessons and write. That’s it. Hope you enjoy my reflections! Read More…
