I often sit in the background. I prefer to sit behind other people; not because I devalue my self worth, but because of my pride. You see, I am confident in my abilities, but I don’t need to be loud about them. My actions speak far louder than any of my words ever will. I … Continue reading Lowly

“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” 2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV) When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort. Daily we face trials and temptations and we often think … Continue reading Sufficient
Lightning and Thunder
I know people who are ceraunophiles; they love the thunder and lightning. I have a friend who loves to sit on her porch during the thunder storms. She thinks the lightning is beautiful and somehow she finds peace in the display of God’s power. I do not. I know God places each bolt of lightning … Continue reading Lightning and Thunder
Lost
Nothing is ‘by chance’. I think of my own life and how every person is carefully placed. Timing and circumstances align just so to orchestrate what seems like random events.

All Things
I’ve always been drawn to Philippians 4:13, but lately it’s taken on a whole new meaning. I don’t think the intention is that I can do anything, but rather the Lord can do the unimaginable in me. Paul says he is full yet hungry at the same time. He has famine and plenty… How can … Continue reading All Things

I’ve had some health scares lately… I’ve been advised that I need to go on a particular medicine, one that many people take. But, I don’t want to do it. Three different specialists have suggested this medication, none consulting the other… Instead of outright agreeing, I have been watching my numbers, and praying… The three … Continue reading Happier

Mercy
We think we have more power than we do. I know I do… I blame myself for so much… Not being the Mother I should have been… Pushing my children away because of how I speak… But my prayer has always been that the Lord would place my children in the path He has prepared … Continue reading Mercy
