Approaching God: Child or Boarder in Prayer?

This morning was a typical morning. I got the children off to school for the day. My husband got ready, and then he set off to work for the day. And I began my normal routine for the day. God, in usual fashion, touched me in a way that continues to transform me in myContinue reading “Approaching God: Child or Boarder in Prayer?”

Live Life Simply

I was making myself some lunch today, and I thought about what I would do if I were to cut out everything extra to live simply. What would I eat? What would I have? What would I wear? What would I do? Of course, I started with what I was doing in the moment: WhatContinue reading “Live Life Simply”

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”

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.

What’s a Lament?

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been learning more about prayer. And in doing so, I have found out that while prayer is simple, a lot of us do not lay it all out there for Him. A lot of us simply say a set of words that we feel He wants toContinue reading “What’s a Lament?”

Quiet Time

Did you know that having “quiet time” is very important principle that Jesus Himself exemplified for us? In Matthew 14: 22-23 ESV, “22 Immediately, he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he wentContinue reading “Quiet Time”

“Pray for All the Empty Tents”

I have been studying Leviticus. Ooooooohhhhh…… I just felt some of you roll your eyes at this one inwardly. hahaha. It is difficult to understand the different sacrifices and the rituals. Especially when we don’t sacrifice physical animals to God. Nature versus Behavior is the main idea here. The nature is who we are; theContinue reading ““Pray for All the Empty Tents””

What More Can I Do

I have been busy lately. There are just so many tasks on my to-do list, and it seems like I will never finish them. My sons and husband give me much to do, some of which I like to do. However, I have added things to my list that may, for some, be viewed asContinue reading “What More Can I Do”
