Moving on Up
I’ve determined to move on up — up out of the grumbling and complaining about the stuff that matters so little. Yes, I am moving on up in age — but really age is just a number. Yikes! Where did the years go? First, thank you for all the kind and loving words and messages…
💥💥💥4,000 and Still Counting 💥💥💥
This day, January 13th, 2025, is the BIG ONE as in posting my 4,004th blog. (I was caught off-guard with surpassing 4,000 until today.) Pardon the personal high-fives! 🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐 I’m beyond grateful for God’s faithfulness to inspire, motivate, encourage, drop nuggets of His fresh Word, open my eyes to see the beauty in each day…
Where is Jesus?
I was pleasantly surprised and joy-filled when I walked through the corridor to our apartment and saw this beautiful nativity set and the large characters displayed. It warmed my heart and soul! This nativity scene and those in our homes are more than decorations. They are invitations to reflect on the heart of the Christmas…
Being Light as He is Light
I saw this vehicle in Hobby Lobby’s parking lot. I’m sorry I saw it then and I apologize for showing it to you now. But this scene propelled me into my annual rant. Ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and Halloween paraphernalia that “haunt” us are everywhere – in stores and yards this time of the year.…
A Better World Starts with You and Me
The pessimist grumbles, “I could make a better world than this.”But the optimist confidently sings, “Go for it! That’s why God put you here!” It’s true. We’re not here just to take up space. God placed us on this earth, in this time, to make a difference. And while we can’t do everything, we can…
Just a Little Bit — Goes a Long Way
Ever found yourself looking for love, compassion, or even just a smidge of encouragement in all the wrong places? Like expecting a plant to grow in a desert without a drop of water? We’ve all been there, haven’t we? But here’s the thing – God didn’t just start it all; He started it all with…
Created for Moments Like This
I saw this metal wall hanging in a store. I took a photo of it. It spoke to me because I remember the birth of my children. I knew I was created to bring them into this world. It spoke to me because there have been times when I encouraged someone to carry on and…
Skin in the Game?
Warren Buffet is one of the best-known investors in the world. As of June 2024, he had a net worth of $135 billion, making him the tenth-richest person in the world. That wealth started with a $100 investment. Eleven doctors put together over $100K for Buffet to start investing. But because he wanted to show…
Loving God with All of Me
Let’s dive into this scripture – the one where a lawyer asks Jesus which commandment is the most important. Jesus replies, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength” (Mark 12:30). That’s a whole lotta lovin’, isn’t it? First up, loving God…
Intimacy — Behind the Scenes
For years, social media has been the space where I deposit my musings aka blogs. I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing the Lord’s faithfulness through every season – especially the season that got this blog party started. It was a season that could have left me feeling alone, forgotten, disappointed, heart-broken and in despair. Instead, it…
