Reading I Chronicles 17 this morning I was struck by a prayer of David that’s recorded there. Something in it seemed a bit gutsy to me, but upon further inspection I’m feeling a bit more daring myself now.

I’m not sure if it’s the down side of a zeal for organization, but I tend to have a meltdown when I can’t find things. I know they’re not lost, they’re here somewhere…but where? I cannot give up the search, I seek until I find.
They’re some of my most favorite things, yet lately…I just can’t find them. They’ve been missing for a while now.Continue reading

I’m linking up for this week’s Five Minute Friday prompt … “Mess”, and sharing a bit about my mess.

Thoughts bombard my mind like a barrage of bombs in an all out aerial assault designed to litter the landscape of life with destruction and defeat. It’s a silent war, unseen by others, fought in solitude. You would think I’d know to run for weapons of my own and fire back, but instead I remain idle, for I have forgotten, am somehow temporarily blinded, to an all-important truth.Continue reading

Seeds Unseen

I’ve been thinking about this heart problem I’ve been diagnosed with. You remember…the one I thought was a mouth problem until reminded my tongue was simply speaking from the abundance of my heart. Yeah, that heart problem. I’ve recognized this abundance my mouth is speaking from is just that…an abundance. Yes, I have an overflowing, bountiful crop. And with a harvest so apparent I’m remembering something I’m surprised I let slip. You don’t get a harvest without planting some seed. But what is this seed?Continue reading

My mouth has been giving me trouble of late. I admit, sometimes I even surprise myself. Something’s just not right. Where’s this venom coming from? I need to get a grip. This is causing issues and something’s got to change, so I write myself a simple prescription…Continue reading

It was seventeen years ago that I first met Danita. We’d just moved to Florida, had begun attending a huge church and she was the first woman to reach out to me, a one-on-one encounter amidst a sea of people. Over lunch one day I got my first glimpse of this extraordinary woman. Continue reading

The Power of Romans 15:5
My husband and I just returned from a marvelous vacation in Mexico. We have arrived at the stage of life where we’re traveling and experiencing new adventures, seeing new places, meeting wonderful people, witnessing other cultures and just plain enjoying life and each other.
Ahhh, wedded bliss. But don’t be fooled. It hasn’t always been like this.Continue reading
