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”

Find Joy in Work

Do you go to work on any given day and find yourself struggling through it? Do you feel as though this “job” is pointless or difficult or just a struggle? Do you find yourself checking the time frequently hoping that the time will pass faster so that you can just “get out of here”? MostContinue reading “Find Joy in Work”

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”

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?”

The Glory of God

The Glory of God. What does that mean? That is something that I seek to explore in this post. While reading John 17, I began wondering about Jesus’ prayer to the Father. Specifically, I wanted to dive into what He was asking the Father for. So beginning the prayer, He states, “glorify the Son thatContinue reading “The Glory of God”

This Morning

The first thing I notice when I walk out onto the back porch this morning is the glisten of the frost as the light reflects from the “street” light. You read that right. There is a “street” light situated between my back yard and the neighbor’s yard behind my house. It makes little sense toContinue reading “This Morning”

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”

To Know and Love God

There has been a lot of resources that guide Christians in various aspects of our lives. These are well-meaning resources, but without the foundation of the Holy Bible they are meaningless and misleading. The most important resources that we have – outside of God Himself speaking directly and audibly to us – are prayer andContinue reading “To Know and Love God”

In the Blink of an Eye

There are so many things to be grateful for and so many things that I have mourned the loss of. One of those major losses that I have mourned in my life is my relationship with my Nona. She was an absolute delight and a major influencer in my life. She was arguably the greatestContinue reading “In the Blink of an Eye”
