Being a Seeker & a Finder
Since moving to Austin, I have had plenty of seeking and finding adventures. I’ve been a prudent seeker as I’ve made my way around this very large city to find various locations of retailers, sports activities, restaurants, a car wash, the post office, and other places. And, I’m happy to say, I have been a…
Easter for a Day or Every Day?
Early this morning, I asked for God’s forgiveness for being so caught up in sights, sounds, eating like there is no tomorrow and so much joy in family togetherness here in Cabo. After all, this is the season of Lent when we hold back from over-indulging and we push the “pause-button” on entertainment for the…
Our Collaboration with God
I’ve already come to love many things about Austin, but there is one thing that breaks my heart. It is the number of homeless I see under bridges. All over there are tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, along with grocery carts in abundance. It is like a neon sign that awakens my senses and my spiritual…
He Did it Again
I love telling the “He-Did-It-Again” stories. You know. Those stories that verify “All things work together for good to those who love God and are called for His purposes” (Romans 8:28). Case in point. While organizing my office supplies, I ran across an iPhone 6S Plus that I had before purchasing my iPhone 11. First,…
Take Me Out to the Ballgame
My dreams came true. We’ve always been a fan of any of our grandchildren’s pursuits in life and did our best to not miss any of them. We didn’t want to miss anything they were competing at, but most seasons – they lived in different states and we could only follow them by their parents’…
If God Said it – We Can Count on it
When Brennan (my 16-year-old grandson) came over and saw all the boxes and the kitchen counters loaded up with items from those boxes, he asked, “Nana, did you bring our sippy cups?” I laughed and assured him that somewhere in these boxes are those sippy cups. He believed me. He can count on his nana’s…
Could this be our “For Such a Time as This” Moment?
It’s a phrase tossed around frequently. We’ll see shirts, hats, mugs, and social media posts that proudly ring out, “for such a time as this”. I know I use it a lot to impress upon someone that they are living in God’s divine destiny and purpose and it’s NOW time to step up and act…
Mindset Reset
Very early Tuesday morning, I made my way home from Austin to the monthly luncheon of the Republican Women of Greater North Texas. here in Frisco. I was motivated. I regularly attend, but this one especially caused me put the “pedal to the metal”. My daughter, Staci Wallace, was the guest speaker. More than being…
NO Fear Here — 365 Days this Year!
We just came out of the season when “no fear” is a hot topic. Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds were told: “No fear!” Most every day I talk to or hear about someone who is afraid or anxious. The trust is we have plenty to be concerned and worried about. Of course, we long to…
It’s Snowing Somewhere Today
I’m feeling the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, while driving to church, it started snowing. I was thankful to be here to see it in typically-never-gets-snow Austin. When we came out of church, there was a good “sprinkling” of snow on the ground and it was still falling. Brennan put on Blake…
