Let Go and Let God
Letting go isn’t easy. Whether it’s treasured times, treasured people, treasured routines, or treasured traditions — there’s a little tug at the heart every time. But here’s the truth I’ve come to know: those treasures — good and not-so-good — are threads in the fabric of our lives. Without them, the tapestry wouldn’t be the…
Thunder Up…..and Rise Up
This Oklahoma gal (for over 40 years) had her pom-poms ready Sunday night as the Oklahoma City Thunder faced off against the Indiana Pacers. Oh, the drama and the ups and downs of basketball! One minute we were up, the next minute they were. But in the end? Thunder brought it home — 103 to…
Transitions & Frustrations
A few weeks ago, my daughter, Staci, had a dream come true opportunity to meet up with her daughter, Alexia, in the UK after Alexia’s missions’ trip was over. The next morning, they attended Hillsong’s Sunday services and then took the bullet train to Paris. Staci met up with a friend, Irina, in the UK…
We Forgot You
Ever heard that hurtful phrase before? It can be one of those times when our parent forgot to pick us up at school or be at our piano or dance recital or baseball game. Or an important phone call was expected, but never came because someone forgot us? I know those words and how deeply…
We are the Champions
Two years ago, I purchased an Oura ring. It’s a good fitness tracker, counts my daily steps, shows me my sleep patterns, how well I sleep, or NOT, and helps me maintain a good heart rate. A couple of days ago my husband asked, “How was your sleep last night?” I quickly pulled out my…
Exposure of the Greatest Kind
This gal learned her lessons well. I exposed this white lily body way too many times to the sun as a teenager and as a grown up for many years. I’ve suffered the consequences of too much exposure to the sun. Today, I’m talking about some top-notch exposure to the true power of God. It…
Letting Go to Grow
This blog today is meant to help those of us who don’t like letting go. I mean the letting go of treasured times, treasured people, treasured routines, and traditions. Letting go isn’t easy, but it is the life God designed for us. Throughout the Bible we read about letting go. King Saul’s son, Jonathan, and…
Mighty Warrior! Who Me?
As I read about Gideon in the Book of Judges, I knew a blog was in the making. I sensed it coming from Heaven Central. And, I knew it was meant for my friends who are hurting from disappointment, lost dreams, sickness, defeat and worry! Trouble, BIG trouble was all Gideon could see. He was…
Let Go and Let God
Letting go of treasured times, treasured people, treasured routines and treasured traditions isn’t easy, but it’s what I’ve come to know. The treasures of it all — the good times and not so good times — are a part of the fabric of our lives. Grin and bear it or bask in the knowing that…
Raising the Bar
No, in the case of this first photo, they kept lowering the bar when we were doing the limbo at our “Senior” Prom last week. What a fun time we had. But this blog is about raising the bar. I’m excited that our world has opened back up and the 2021 Olympics will be played…
