The Giver of Good Things
We’re still a ways off from President-Elect Trump’s inauguration, but he sure isn’t letting any grass grow under his feet! As he builds his team, we do our part by praying daily for his safety, wisdom, and God’s divine will for our nation. And isn’t it a relief to know that our joy, peace, and…
Love, Jesus
Love, JesusAs a teenager, I was so excited to see my name on a name tag on a carefully wrapped present. I couldn’t wait for Christmas. I remember carefully unwrapping the present, checking out the contents, and, with care, wrapping the gift back up. Speaking of name tags, wouldn’t it be awesome to see a…
Lessons from a Giver
Please forgive me for writing so much about the lessons I am learning from this new way of life. Just saying that puts a smile on my face. Honestly, I NEVER thought remarrying was in my future. And, along with it…is lots of content for my blogs! Yay! I never knew someone NEW in my…
Who’s that Knocking at my Door?
It’s about 8:30 pm. Tuesday night. Lights are out. I’m in bed watching a Hallmark Christmas movie! I’m caught up in the love story that I already know what the ending will be, when suddenly, loud knocking on my bedroom door. Yes, I said, “bedroom door” and not my front door! Holy jumping catfish!!! I…
Don’t Look for the Answers
Look for the Giver. I heard those words spoken and they resonated with me. How often do we ask the stand-pat questions in a state of wonder and concern: “When? Where? How? Why?” when we should be nuzzling in close to the Giver – the One who knows it all and has all the answers.…
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…
The Twelve Days of Christmas – MERRY CHRISTMAS!
TToday is December 30th – which means it’s the 6th day of Christmas. A few days ago, upon my return home from Austin, I said in my post that I was going to start taking down my Christmas décor the next day. The inspiration came when my Austin Family were heading out of town for…
God’s Unique and Diverse Creation
I live in a unique community where every home is different from the others. The exteriors are unique: brick, stone, or stucco, different paint colors, and lots of variations of floor plans. It’s not a “cookie-cutter” community where the homes are the same. Our landscaping, with various flowers, trees, bushes, plants and rock formations are…
EXCEL in 2016
Home sweet home after 22 days in Texas and Washington over the Christmas holidays. Precious times away, and excited now to EXCEL in 2016. Those incredible 22 days were topped off, yesterday, when many of our Unstoppable Summit attendees went to Elevate Life Church to worship and praise God together. And to hear a…
Your Greatest ASK; His Greatest YES
Wednesday of Holy Week: The disciples must have been awestruck when Jesus said, “One of YOU will betray me.” Except for Judas, the eleven must have each thought, “Not me! I would never betray, deny or leave you.” But as we all know, their loyalty to Jesus was short-lived. And that scene is one that…
