Better to be Patient than Powerful
Patience is what we should pray for, but when we do…..it seems we encounter even more reasons to pray “Lord, give me patience, but PLEASE give it to me NOW!!!” As I type this post I’m asking God to forgive me for my IMPATIENCE. I loved my neat and tidy world here in Tulsa. Beautiful…

Can’t Sleep? Talk to Me. — God
On my FB message yesterday, a couple of people commented that it was just the words they needed. My response? “Me, too! I typically post with what I need the most!” In all seriousness, my daily posts are the words I’m sending out to you AND me! A friend came over yesterday. She was discouraged…
Adventures Await Outside the Port
When you were a kid, did you play the “I Dare You” game? I did. I remember when friends would “dare me” to jump into the deep end of the pool or jump off the high diving board. They were trying to force me to do something that I was afraid to do, but I…
What Do You Think of When You Hear a Name?
I love looking up the meaning of people’s names. In fact, as a gift to a group of women not long ago, I gave them each a card that included their name, the character quality of their name and a scripture verse that goes with their name, like those pictured here. In fact, I love…
How About a Life-Changing Walk With Jesus?
I saw bunnies still scampering about yesterday, but these ones weren’t leaving Easter eggs. The Easter baskets have been put back into storage until next year, but the crux of the whole matter of Easter celebrations is still burning in our hearts. We are still in awe of this most essential, absolute reason for our…
Keep the Bouncer at the Door
Day 311 of Photo Inspirations — Keep the Bouncer at the Door Yesterday, as I was having my morning devotion, two different friends came to my mind. I try to live “in the zone” so that when a name pops in my head, then I pray for them. And there are times when I not…
TRUST ME in the Depths of Your Being
Day 209 of Photo Inspirations — TRUST ME in the Depths of Your Being! “I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight…..” Isaiah 45:2 That was the scripture that came to me, on two separate occasions, in the last two days. Coincidentally, two of my friends, on the same day, shared with…
Hiding His Word in Our Hearts
Day 160 of Photo Inspirations — Hiding His Word in Our Hearts Memorization of scriptures has been pivotal in my having a joy-filled life, unwavering faith (most of the time), perseverance in tough times and learning to jump high hurdles (obstacles). I sincerely believe that God’s Word represents life and power, and is the greatest…
Sweet Sleep
Day 128 of Photo Inspirations — Sweet Sleep God blessed me with a built-in internal alarm clock. No matter what time I go to bed, I typically wake up between 6 am and 6:30 am. I’m sincerely appreciative for that oddity most of the year. Rarely do I oversleep. I’ll admit that during the colder…
