Finding Hope in This Crazy World
My last post, Coping With Loneliness: A Personal Journey, dealt with my feelings about my current medical condition. I was frustrated and yes, lonely. But God knew that already. He heard my heart as I typed every word. Do you know what God did? He met me right where I was, in the middle of... Continue Reading →
Today is Good Friday. I would like to share with you a sermon my husband preached last Sunday called "What a Week". I am boycotting the bunny. Easter is not about the bunny, it's about the Lamb, Jesus Christ, that took on the sin of the world and was crucified for it. One perfect sacrifice... Continue Reading →
God loves everyone from everywhere. Jesus came to seek and save the lost so that none should perish. So what is up with all the hate in our world about race? Was it always this way? I had to look back to check. I found that nowhere in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence do... Continue Reading →
Hallelujah, spring/summer is on it's way in. No more snow. Yipee! I am not a fan of cold, snow, or winter, lol. I love when the grass is green and the flowers are blooming. Their fragrance is almost intoxicating. Give me a lilac bush, a rose bush, a hibiscus, anything. I love the smell of... Continue Reading →
Our family has had 3 graduation this year - two from High School and one from College. Yes, we are blessed and so proud of all of our 6 kids. But, can I ask, "Now what?" We still have one son at home, at least for one more semester. My son went to visit family... Continue Reading →
This morning I read Mark 4 where Jesus talks about the seed and 4 types of soil. You know I always focused on the soil. I wanted to be that good soil that would produce the harvest. But I missed the seed part of the story. Mark 4:13-14 NKJV And He said to them, “Do... Continue Reading →
Have you ever had a day where you had to eat your own words? Yeah, something you said a day or two ago comes back around and you end up having to eat those same words you spoke? Me too. I wrote yesterday about Gratitude. I didn't know that today I would need those verses... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I look at those cards. You know the pretty ones with the happy families on the front? My life just doesn't look like that. No snowmen - it's like 55 today in WI. No sleigh rides, no happy horses. Where do they get these ideas? Who really lives like that anyway? Maybe I should... Continue Reading →
The older I get... The more I look like my mother. The more I realize my parents knew a thing or two. The more I learn and the less I know. The more forgiving I am to myself and others. We're all a little broken in places. The more I learn to love God and... Continue Reading →
Some days there are no words, only pictures and music... Dance on! (All images from Pinterst-my favorite escape!)
Psalm 68:4-6 Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, And rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families; He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I dress like a dork. Really. And I forget to look at myself before I leave, lol! I have a conference this Saturday so I thought I would go find something nice to wear. Off I went to our local mall with my head in the clouds. Busy thinking about this and that and... Continue Reading →
