Disappointment Might be an Appointment
Daily I read what I wrote in my journal for this day last year. Since early January, I’ve read about the excitement of being on the leadership team for our upcoming ACTS Retreat that was to have been on the weekend of April 23rd. We were wonder-eyed and “on fire” with passion and great anticipation…
We are the Light of the World
It is so refreshing to be in the presence of positive, optimistic and encouraging women. Many of my dear “sisters” from our 2017 Fall ACTS Retreat met on Friday for our one-year reunion. Just being around those precious women not only on Friday but throughout the year, energizes me. Their spirit of encouragement is contagious.…
We Stood on Holy Ground
Having spent the last 4 days at Camp Copass in Denton, TX with 79 beautiful “sisters in Christ” and experiencing God’s peace in this away-from-it-all location, was what God ordered for us. I knew we were on HOLY GROUND when we arrived at the campus and this sign welcomed us: SHOW ME YOUR WAYS O…
A Love-Fest Day With Jesus
My word for today is “Love-Fest” — when two or more people indulge in expressing their love for each other in such a way that it never ends. It is the ultimate expression of deep, true love and respect for each other, usually manifested by an outburst of love expressions that make all involved feel…
Mary’s “Yes” — My “Yes”
As if one Advent by Candlelight wasn’t enough, I was thrilled to attend another last night at St. Bernard’s Church.

Being Perfectly Loved
Just look at these 64 radiant women, all aglow with God’s PERFECT love shining through, after the most amazing 4 days of enrichment and basking in such epic and special times together. Sincerely, those 4 days were life-changing in so many ways. Our love for God, and His love for us, went to a another…
Looking for Love in All the Right Places
Getting to celebrate life with my special loved ones and friends in Tulsa brings such joy to my heart. Here’s what my World of Love’s “right places” looks like: I have precious friends in the community where I live. We laugh, celebrate life, many of us pray for each other and share meals with each…
He Calls You To Be Faithful
Day 173 of Photo Inspirations — God Called Us to Be Faithful I just returned home from an amazing ACTS Retreat in Luther, OK. No words can describe the undeniable presence of God that we experienced in all the intricacies of the retreat. We just knew God’s love, peace, and joy was all in each…
It’s the REAL THING!
Day 54 of Photo Inspirations — It’s the REAL THING! There were so many “awe and wonder” moments at the ACTS Retreat that I attended last weekend, but one of the highlights was hearing Monsignor Dan Mueggenborg, a gifted and eloquent speaker. Msgr Dan holds a special place in my heart. Currently he is…
