”saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.“ Luke 22:42 KJV I’m in a bit of a place, and have been for a while now. My thoughts have been on this bitterness I’ve been drinking, begging for it to be removed. Or perhaps for … Continue reading Thine

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
Happier
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
Face It
It’s hard to face our fears. It’s hard to stand up when we’re under scrutiny. But sometimes, you just need to face it. When Saul was on the road to Damascus, he saw a bright light. I’m sure he tried to turn away from it, but he was blinded. The men with him heard a … Continue reading Face It

Guilty of All
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 KJV What a fearful thought! This is the reason I do not like confrontation: I am guilty of part, therefore I am guilty of all. Do you ever stop and think about what you might … Continue reading Guilty of All
The Bird
Earlier today a bird flew into my front door… The door was closed and the bird sadly didn’t make it… I read where birds can become lost in the glass and fly into windows thinking they are heading into more open spaces not knowing they are rushing headfirst into a hard object. Hmmm… How often … Continue reading The Bird
Sure
“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. Our thoughts are often vain imaginations. We give ourselves far … Continue reading Sure
