Seeking More of Him

Going through the “Read-the-Bible-in-a-Year” reading plan allows me to glean little nuggets that I have passed over in the past. And I find that it is so fruitful to simply and prayerfully read without focusing on a specific subject other than getting to know God more. Reading His Word and sitting with Him allows usContinue reading “Seeking More of Him”

Embracing Self-Discovery: A Journey Through Psalm 139:13-16

Inside your mother’s womb, you were being formed and fashioned. Each day that went by was yet another milestone toward the ultimate goal of being born. And while there, each and every body part – each hand and finger, each foot and toe, each organ and bone, each facial feature – was taking shape inContinue reading “Embracing Self-Discovery: A Journey Through Psalm 139:13-16”

Getting to Know God

What is one to do when we are stuck? Where do we go when we study so much and do so many “good” things that it seems like you are missing something? In my search for meaning and acceptance and accomplishment, I am drawn to the point of everything I say and do. Everything culminatesContinue reading “Getting to Know God”

Psalm 3

There are so many things going on in my own life that are chaotic and troublesome. I have kids that are out of school for the summer, and they are bored. Lacking transportation has made this a boring summer for them. Also, this summer brings out the pests. I have a pest problem that IContinue reading “Psalm 3”

Ask, Seek, Knock

Have you ever asked God, “What do You want me to do?” I know I have a lot. And when asking guidance from others, I get advice about ‘how’ to hear Him or what they say to do. Often times, I get the answer of “you need to pray” or “just read the Bible.” ToContinue reading “Ask, Seek, Knock”

Lay the Foundation Right

A couple of years ago, my family and I took a trip to Chicago. It was a family summer trip to see as much as we could on as little as we could as quickly as we could. When we got to just outside Chicago, we decided to take the train into downtown. This allowedContinue reading “Lay the Foundation Right”

In That One Moment

There have been so many instances in my life that I have thought about what it was like to be without cancer versus being with cancer. Before cancer, I was a strong person that was able to help almost everyone I came into contact with. After cancer entered into my life, I became this shellContinue reading “In That One Moment”

Only Once in a While

So. Have you every really thought about what it would feel like to step off of the boat onto the water? Even if someone told you that you you would be fine. You would walk on top of the water. It’s safe. Everyone standing around you is freaking out that you are crazy! What doesContinue reading “Only Once in a While”

What is Your Purpose?

There I was, this morning, on the back deck of my house. I was enjoying the beauty of the atmosphere. It was early morning, and it seemed as though I was the only person awake in the neighborhood. I’m sure I wasn’t, but that is what I felt. As I communed with God, the birdsContinue reading “What is Your Purpose?”

Lord, Strengthen Us

It has been a very trying time in this house. There have been a number of issues that have to be worked out soon. However, I am tired. Oh so tired! Many of the tasks required to be done are just so very draining, and it is difficult to find the motivation to finish thisContinue reading “Lord, Strengthen Us”
