A Perfect God

I woke up this morning with my spirit light and praise on my lips. As I took a moment to reflect on my God and His love for me. The antics of my children the evening before made me laugh and also relieved as they recounted their memories of several incidents that they we have [...]

Give More Love

The hardest times to give love is when you are truly feeling unloved, taken advantage of and rejected but those are exactly the times that God would love for us do so.
When Jesus was arrested and being accused of crimes rather than being on the defensive and fighting back He chose to give love. Peter [...]

Back up a Bit

I won’t tell you how many tries it took to get my first driver’s license. Probably somewhere else on this blog that information is already written but no need to go over that. I do remember what got me every time was parking between the cones.
This after driving on major highways and everything the officer [...]

Last One Picked

Gym class at BVI High was no fun. I was never athletic and didn’t care to be but for a 10-year-old girl who had no clue how she fit in with the world, you at least wanted to know that you were on the team.
Why teachers felt it necessary to have the best athletes lead [...]

Waiting…

God promised He would be with us until the end of time.
He said He was not a man that He should lie.
As John P. Kee says “He will show up on time.”
You are checking your clock and looking at the setting of the sun.
But don’t despair. Your God has not forsaken you.
He has not forgotten [...]

Under Pressure

As a child I never understood the purpose of a pressure cooker but now I do. It just seemed like another pot that Mom used to cook meat and peas and it had a rubber inside and that weight on the top that rattled all of the time. Try slow cooking some meat because you don’t [...]

The Ache

The ache in my chest is different. Not like it was before when it just hurt to so bad, when it felt as if it was broken and would always stay that way.
This ache is sweet, a longing, a sigh, a touch. It makes me tremble and I want to ache some more. I can’t [...]

Thank You

For knowing how much I can bear.
For never leaving my side.
For loving me in the times I did not love myself
For sticking closer than any sister or brother or friend.
For showing me that with you I could do anything
For believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
For knowing me better than I know myself.
For [...]

The Waiting Game

Sarah had a promise from God…she would bare a son. She would be the mother of many nations but she didn’t believe. She laughed at God and hence later had to name her son Isaac, which means “God has made me to laugh.”
God always has the last laugh but we can be laughing too if [...]

Rise Again

Easter is gone but I’m just kicking into mode. Dallas Holm’s Rise Again comes to mind. A favorite my sisters and I sang at church regularly back in the day.
It tells the story of Jesus’ crucifixion from His perspective. This is one of those moments when I will flow with the Spirit and say [...]
