The Apple of God’s Eye
Day 290 of Photo Inspirations — The Apple of God’s Eye My niece posted this first photo yesterday — she and her husband were making character pumpkins for their daughters. Immediately, I shared that photo with a dear friend from my Life Group that maintains an attitude of being present with God throughout her day.…
He Gives His Beloved Sweet Sleep
Day 289 of Photo Inspirations — He Gives His Beloved Sweet Sleep #TBT — This first photo inspiration is one that is so dear to my heart. Our little Payton was beyond tired — he just couldn’t make it through his meal. It was our weekend with Payton and Alexia and that meant action-packed, non-stop…
Keep on Stretching
Day 288 of Photo Inspirations — Keep on Stretching! I’m in that season of life when it’s so important to keep stretching. What happens when we don’t stretch? Nothing. For a while. We feel good. We think stretching is just for yoga girls and old folks. Then we wake up one day and there’s a…
Spoiler Alert
Day 287 of Photo Inspirations — Spoiler Alert I was just getting ready to file the sweet birthday cards I received for my birthday and I saw this one again: “Spoiler alert — the hero comes back to life”. In case you don’t get it, the guy is in a book store and has the…
All For One — One For All
Add caption Day 286 of Photo Inspirations — All for One; One for All Yesterday, my photo inspiration was the circle of African children who came together as a whole. They ran together for the prize — sharing equally in their WIN. In their language, that’s called “UBUNTU,‘I am because we are.” I, often, impose…

Day 285 of Photo Inspirations — I Am Because We Are I read this story last week about an anthropologist who proposed a game to the children of an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told them that whoever got there first would win the sweet fruits. When…
The Butterflies are Dancing….Are You?
Day 284 of Photo Inspirations — The Butterflies are Dancing!! I’ve been amazed at the number of butterflies I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks. I’ll admit I’m not a butterfly enthusiast that plants foliage just to attract butterflies, but now they are attracting ME. I would think it were Springtime instead of Fall.…
What Are the Voices in Your Head Saying?
Day 284 of Photo Inspirations — What Are the Voices in Your Head Saying? We’ve all got them. Little, and sometime BIG voices, talking to us in our heads. They’re either saying “You’ve got this! You’re courageous! You’re strong! You’re a winner!” Or they’re saying “Forget it. Give up! You’re too weak. You’re afraid. You…
The Older Teach the Younger
Day 282 of Photo Inspirations — The Older Teach the Younger I’m sure we’ve all heard the scripture that references the older women teaching the younger women (Titus 2:3-5). I’m so grateful for the older women who influenced my life — my Mom, my mother-in-law, my Bible teachers like Joyce Meyer, Gloria Copeland, and so…
He Calls You To Be Faithful
Day 173 of Photo Inspirations — God Called Us to Be Faithful I just returned home from an amazing ACTS Retreat in Luther, OK. No words can describe the undeniable presence of God that we experienced in all the intricacies of the retreat. We just knew God’s love, peace, and joy was all in each…
