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…
Sign Me Up for a Fruit Inspection!
I must be very careful with my words today because I cringe with the thought that I could sound judgmental. I am adamant in my position which I think is obvious for Who I follow — our Abundant Life Provider (John 10:10). Maybe I’m naive because I assume that those I hang out with follow…
The Cross is the Difference-Maker
It’s no secret that I keep my eyes and ears wide open for God-ideas that give me content for my daily blogs. And, that content comes from various places — a scripture reading, while praying, while scrolling through my social media platforms, while being out and about in a foreign country or in my community,…
Shhh! Don’t Say That!
I’m the one that usually wants to put my finger to people’s lips and say “Shhh — don’t say that!” Especially when I hear them say things like “I’m so stupid”, “I can just look at a cookie, and I gain weight”, “I could never win at that”, “I’ll never be able to afford that”,…
Suitcase – MIA!
I’ve traveled enough to know the drill. We step off the plane, tired but relieved, only to face the final hurdle: baggage claim. We stand there, watching everyone else’s bags slide down the conveyor belt like they were personally invited. But ours? Nowhere to be found. How do we feel in that moment when the…
Thanks to the Son AND the Sunflower
A year ago, this day, I held a beautiful bridal bouquet adorned with sunflowers, gifted by my soon-to-be husband. Sunflowers have since become my favorite flower, not just for their radiant beauty, but because they serve as a remarkable reminder of God’s incredible handiwork. These vibrant flowers are unique in their behavior: each morning, they…
I Prefer the Original
I have been boasting about the beauty of the Opening Ceremonies of the 2024 Paris Olympics and even using it as a backdrop to my blogs. My heart swelled with pride and joy at the grandeur of the event. I was amazed at the details and the artistry — not to mention all the precision…
Let’s Find Common Ground
I thought of this song when I watched opposing news commentaries speaking about how divided we are as a Country. “You’re my brother. You’re my sister. Take me by the hand.Together we will work until He comes.There’s no foe that can defeat when we’re walking side by side.As long as there is love, we will…
Miracles in our Midst
I don’t want this blog to alienate anyone who isn’t on the same page as us. We are all children of God. That is what matters most. I am married to an unrelenting, bold, determined and true patriot. He is all about the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. He served…
Making the First Move
Peacekeeping is easy if we live on an island by ourselves. No one to challenge us, argue with us, or stress us. But bring on people of different persuasions, upbringing, and personalities — peacekeeping can be a difficult task. Adam and Eve had no problems at all when they were first created. Peacekeeping was a…
