At Least He Got Out of the Boat!
I was inspired by my “anchor” blog yesterday enough to give me “meat” for my blog today. Here comes Jesus walking on the water. He calls Peter to come to Him, so in a bold, audacious step of faith, Peter got out of the boat and started walking on water. He didn’t hesitate. He took…
My Perspective Changed and So Did I
We’ve all seen that FedEx logo. And, often we are excited to see it because an important package finally arrived. My perspective of express is getting to a destination quickly. I think of an express train or bus that has little to no stops before reaching its destination and then there’s the express elevator that…
My Rolling in the Hay Adventures
Not only do I blog every day, but I also write in my journal the highlights of each day — the “God” encounters, the strange, the off-kilter, the wacky, and the wild adventures. Truly I amuse myself. Believe me, I have plenty to write about — even outside of my normal routine. A couple of…
When We’ve Run Out of Hope…..
This is my second day in a row to blog about hope. Maybe it has to do with some of the assignments God has given me in the last few months to encourage others to hold onto hope. So many are sick. Sick and tired. Sick of hearing so much negativity and hate. Sick of…
Behind Locked Doors Because of Fear
I’m so happy the Easter Story doesn’t end with the resurrection. There’s so much more! The next verse in John 20:19 says this: “That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.” They locked the door, they shut themselves off, they locked away the world. Out…
My Fear Doesn’t Stand a Chance When I Stand in Your Love
Early this morning, I was hearing (in my head) Josh Baldwin’s song: “Stand in Your Love”. I thought about the lyrics when I read this friend’s post so I commented: “I know why I was thinking about this song this morning before I read your post. Sweet girl! You are such a valiant warrior and…
FEAR – False Evidence Appearing Real
Sure sounds like a headline in our news today, doesn’t it? My husband gave this acronym to the word, “FEAR”, many years ago to our children when they were seeing and hearing” things” in their bedrooms at night. To them, it looked like and it sounded like a monster but in reality, it was only…
Worry FREE – Guarantee!
How is it possible to NOT WORRY in these days and times? “Don’t Worry???” You may be saying “That’s easy for you to say — you’re not facing what I’m facing today.” Perhaps not the exact challenge or situation, but I’ve known troubles and I’ve had plenty of reasons to worry. And, out of those…
F.E.A.R. – False Evidence Appearing Real
That was my husband’s definition of fear. And, he was right on. How many times do we have fears that are false fears based on false information? As much as I’d like you to believe that I’m this fearless dynamo, I still have those times when fear is an unwelcomed guest in my heart. I…
He Rescued Me
Over the last few days, I’ve seen such remarkable and heart-stirring scenes of people being rescued out of the rushing flood waters of Hurricane Harvey, off of roof tops, and from cars and homes. Thanks be to God for America where our people – first responders, volunteers, churches, charitable organizations, and so many others are…
