  • Be Still

    Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:11 I read this scripture slowly and sit with it awhile, it beckons me closer to the Lord. It is as if I am on a wide road that narrows as I journey on it, and it leads to God. That is where He calls me…

  • Spring is here

    Spring is here. I breathe in the fresh and fragrant aroma and it renews my body and soul. The trees and flowers show forth their glory. Birds return and the call of the mourning dove is heard. Frogs croak in the distance and rain gently falls to the ground. The grass turns a deep shade…

  • Life with Christ

    I purchased some potting soil and new planters. I have many houseplants that need fresh soil and a larger area to grow. Their roots have no place to go and they are stuck in a container too small for them. The plants have stopped thriving and growing; they have become stagnant and unable to get…

    Pray for one another. James 5:16 Today, I said a prayer for you. A prayer to hold onto hope and find your courage deep within. A prayer that you matter and are not alone. That today, you would feel the sun on your face, even if it is behind the clouds. Closing your eyes and…

  • Drawn By Love

    When I look at the world with awe and wonder, I begin to see things anew. The world is full of beauty, and in the midst of that beauty, there is great love to be found. This is the place where I am drawn. I have found this gazing into my husband’s eyes, a love…

  • I Fall Unto You

    As the days grow shorter, I fall unto You. The air beckons with its crisp, clean breeze and brushes my cheek lifting my thoughts upward. It cannot be seen but felt, the change in the air; the nights are longer and the days are shorter, fall is here. To fall unto You in scripture, letting…

  • In the Still of the Night

    The sun sets illuminating the sky in a soft golden glow, the stars appear, stretching across the sky, and I feel the peace of God in my heart. In the still of the night, God is with me. He invites me to rest in His loving presence and be still. I am content, thank you,…

  • The Words I Speak

    Words are powerful things, they can either lift up or tear down, they can encourage or discourage, they can bring peace or discord, words are important. They can be uttered in haste with little thought or be deliberate with concern. They can lead one into gossip or be kept to oneself in self control. They…
