Living in the Peace Zone
There are moments in life when God steps in and leaves us speechless. You know, the kind of moments that make you chuckle under your breath and shake your head like Sarah did when she overheard the Lord say she was going to have a baby in her old age. (Genesis 18:12) Can you imagine?…
Good thing I’m NOT God because I would have sure messed things up many times over with my ideas, thoughts, and desires. Garth Brooks sang “I thank God for unanswered prayers.” And I agree, I thank God for not answering many of my prayers If He had answered ‘yes’ to many of those prayers, no…
For anyone who has been around a two or three year old very long, we know they ask many questions: “What’s that? Why? When? Where? How?” At first it was endearing, but before long – we get worn out with all those questions. Can we imagine how tired God must get from our questions? “Why,…
For some time, my daughter has been encouraging me to write a book that includes my blogs. I haven’t had the drive to write it yet because each day I realize that I am not the author of my faith story. I’m still here, pressing onward and upward, so I’ll just keep journaling via my…
Since the news that a dear friend was facing a life-or-death health issue, my heart has churned with those two options – life or death. As you may have read in my blogs on Saturday and Sunday, my friend’s life was in the balance. She waited months for a donor for a heart transplant that…
I love telling the “He-Did-It-Again” stories. You know. Those stories that verify “All things work together for good to those who love God and are called for His purposes” (Romans 8:28). Case in point. While organizing my office supplies, I ran across an iPhone 6S Plus that I had before purchasing my iPhone 11. First,…
A couple of days ago I posted about “remembering”. In the final paragraph of that post, I spoke about Christ’s words at the Last Supper from Luke 22:19: “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE of…
As I’ve taken on this year as a great adventure, how appropriate that I would look up on the wall in my “Frisco” bedroom (aka The Guest Room for others that visit the Wallace’s), and see this stencil drawing just above the closet door, and directly across from the comfy and cozy bed. “We walk…
I once had a “prayer space”– in the early years of our marriage when finances were slim and the challenges we faced seemed insurmountable, but going into my closet (my war room), I was able to not only pray about being able to stand in the midst of the battle, but I received strategies straight…
Day 76 of Photo Inspirations — SURPRISE! We’ve Got White Stuff! And, thankfully, that white stuff isn’t more snow — it’s our beautiful Tulsa Dogwoods in bloom. I’ll admit it! I’m quite excited about this “white stuff” — even as excited as I was for the snowy “white stuff” here just a…
