God’s Plan A
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if life came with a reset button? One wrong turn — one wrong mistake — click — back on track. No matter what mistakes we’ve made, we’re still on God’s “Plan A” for our lives. He hasn’t revoked His original dream for us. It doesn’t matter what other people did to…
God Leads – We Follow
Have you ever wished God would just send a text?“Turn left.” “Call her.” “Don’t eat that second cookie.”Wouldn’t that make life easier? Instead, we sometimes find ourselves in that in-between place — our best to trust, obey, and wait — yet quietly wondering, “Am I getting this right?” Let’s settle something right here — we…
When Real Isn’t Real (But Still Hilarious!)
Sunday afternoon was supposed to be a quiet one — me writing my next blog, Carl watching the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders game. I could hear him in the other room hollering, “You’ve GOT to see this!” I thought, “Wow, it must be a nail-biter!” So I walked in, ready for a game-winning touchdown……
Where was God in the Flood?
I may sound like a broken record — but I just can’t stop praying, believing, and asking “God, where were You?” It’s the question we’re all asking right now. Where was God when the floodwaters rose and swept away so many hopes, dreams, and beautiful young lives? Could God have stopped it? Of course.Could He…
No Surprise to God
Did you know that you – yes, YOU – and your circumstances are no surprise to God? It took me a while to wrap my head around that one, but once it clicked, it changed everything. Now, it’s how I roll. Life has a way of throwing curveballs, doesn’t it? A pain in a place…
The Trade of a Lifetime
In 1920, the Boston Red Sox made one of the most infamous trades in baseball history. They sent Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. (Big oopsie!) For the next 12 seasons, Ruth hit more home runs than the entire Red Sox team… 10 times. That decision went down as one of the most regrettable…
Hair and a Prayer
Oh, the lifelong journey I have had with my hair! It’s been a roller coaster of triumphs and mishaps! I’ve been friends AND foes with my hair since an early age. What about those perms??? I can still smell the chemical concoction from a home perm my mom gave me. She read the instructions like…
This is Just a Chapter
“Well, this is a fine mess!” Isn’t that what we think when life throws us for a loop? Like we’ve stumbled into the wrong chapter of our own story. But hang tight, because shattered dreams are the very pages God uses to write the most incredible comebacks! We’ve all been there—broken relationships, financial upheavals, health…
A Little Chat about Grace
I live in God’s grace. I just know it. We all do! No matter what kind of mistake(s) we make, there is always a solution for restitution. It comes in the form of grace. It is God’s grace that heals and restores. He exchanges our tarnished slate for a fresh, clean slate so we can…
Being Cranky Offers No Rewards!
Oh, the joys of travel! I spoke about them yesterday. Here is Part 2. After our one-year anniversary whirlwind trip, we expected a no-glitch flight. But, our flight was delayed two hours which meant a late-night, 12:30 am arrival home. By the time we would get our luggage, hop on the parking bus, get our…
