LORD, Let Me Let YOU Lead Me!
I was typing yet another blog, when I looked at this mug that sits on my desk. It’s used as a pen and pencil holder. It’s in that spot all the time, but this morning, I saw it and received the message loud and clear. Once again, God was reminding me to let Him lead…
Time for Intermission
It was a busy weekend and few days in Tulsa last week and weekend. Then I knew a busy weekend was in store when my family were all coming in for Mother’s Day weekend. I was amped up with excitement – unpacking, baking, getting Mother’s Day gifts and love notes for my girls, and shopping…
April Showers Bring May Flowers
And life’s clouds, storms and showers can bring many blessings. This blog was inspired by the opportunity to be in Tulsa for several days. Though I have many precious friends and beautiful memories here, this trip came with a specific purpose in mind. That is to be with my 99-1/2 years old mother-in-law while my…
Thank You, God, for My GPS
When I am exercising on elliptical equipment or taking road trips, I often pass the time by listening to audiobooks. Right now, I’m listening to Christian Author Janet Oke’s audiobooks. Most all her works are stories from the early 1900’s. I hear the tales of those days when conveniences like telephones and cars were just…
Wondering What God’s Will is For Your Life?
It’s Fall so I chose the most colorful Fall photo to emphasize my point today. I added 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to it PLUS enlarging the print on that POINT: “FOR THIS IS GOD’s WILL FOR YOU and , whoa-la — my blog for today! Thanks, God, for the inspiration! I love it when I see…
Don’t Look for the Answers
Look for the Giver. I heard those words spoken and they resonated with me. How often do we ask the stand-pat questions in a state of wonder and concern: “When? Where? How? Why?” when we should be nuzzling in close to the Giver – the One who knows it all and has all the answers.…
The Star Spangled Skies
It is July 1st and of course July 4th, Independence Day, is just a few days away. I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. The only time I have ever considered using the words “star spangled skies” was as I proudly sung our country’s national anthem, “The Star Spangled…
Letting Go of Control
I’m single so I don’t have so much “need to control” anymore. I have my say with the remote control, choosing what to eat and when to eat it, when to wake up and when to go to bed. But I’ve noticed some control issues far too many times. God noticed and I feel His…
Measuring Up
Bigger, better, best. That seems to be our mindset. It was ours when we wanted a car that could hold seven people. I drove that sweet ride for nearly 11 years. My mindset changed. Smaller suddenly became best when I was looking for a new car. Is it just me or does it seem parking…
His Way is the High Way
I WANT to do God’s will. Really, I do. But how can I know what that is? I can’t claim to have this all figured out, but the more I seek to understand what scripture tells us about God’s will, the clearer it becomes. First, it is most important to understand the big picture why…
