God’s Unique and Diverse Garden
Not to be outdone by anyone EVER, our God is the all-encompassing Master at EVERYTHING – especially in His craftsmanship, creativity, and His exquisite attention to details. His one-of-a-kind varieties of places, things and living things (animate AND inanimate) makes Him second to none. I mean just think about the differences in the terrain all…
He is Hovering Over Us
While in Mexico in March, it just so happened that an elaborate Lebanese wedding on the hotel’s grounds was taking place. I found myself caught up in it all as though I were an invited guest, but no, I was actually an inquisitive spy perched high above it all on a staircase. My romance-and-fairy-tale-loving-self was…
Arise
“Little girl, I say to you, arise.” (Mark 5:41). These photos tell the story of present-day women who are prayer-and-action warriors and have heartfelt belief in those words spoken by Jesus to a little girl who had died. Her father, Jairus, the synagogue leader, had gone to Jesus to plead with Him to come and…
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…
