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.…
She’s Getting a New Heart Today
You may remember a blog I wrote on May 4th this year. I shared about the valiant walk of faith that some of my dear Tulsa sisters-in-Christ were taking on behalf of another beloved sister-in-Christ, Becky Holder. Becky must have a heart transplant, but finding a match has been quite the wait. Literally, these resilient…
Worry Free Guarantee
This blog today may sound like the sequel to my blog from yesterday which was about not letting fear grab hold of us. This blog is icing on the “Do Not Fear” cake. “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…
I was a Fraidy Cat
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…
Are We Minglers?
A mingler is one who mingles, interacts, associates and mixes with others in a social setting. I’m a mingler – a far departure from the girl and woman I once was. I like to think I take after my big Brother – Jesus, Who was a mingler of gigantic proportions. I found Him that way…
Being Subject to Change
I remember how much I wanted to gain weight when I was a teenager. I was so skinny they called me “beanpole”. I even took Raquel Welch’s recommendation and bought “Wate-On” tablets (for real) because I wanted to look like my peers who had already “filled out” quite nicely (at least in my eyes, they…
Got Life or Dead as a Doornail?
I amuse myself with the old songs, cliches and quotes that are stored up in my mind. “Dead as a doornail” came on my brain’s radar yesterday — especially after a passionate and livelier-than-life weekend at my grandson’s baseball tournament. With all the baseball fans of the big leagues, the little leagues and the in-between…
Celebrating My Pearl
God is relentless in His pursuit of us. He speaks to us in a thousand different ways trying to get our attention. He is passionate in His love for us, and patient in His tolerance of us. And, just in case you ever doubt your self-worth, here is proof positive of how special and amazing…
Loving from the Inside Out
I attend City Reach church with my children on Sundays. This is a church that focuses on winning people to Christ. The name is the church’s heart — to reach the city of Austin with God’s love. Their goal is 400,000 people coming to Christ. Every service you’ll see hands raised to accept the invitation.…
Let the Tree Inspire You
I saw my daughter’s FB post a couple of weeks ago about what appeared to be a dead tree on their property and how they wouldn’t give up on it. They didn’t let the appearance of it defer their hope for life to still be in it. “The day we signed the papers on Epiphany…
