❤️❤️ Love is an Action Word ❤️❤️
I’ve become a speed reader.Not just with emails and text messages — but with my Bible. And that’s when I have to stop and scold myself a little — because the Word of God is not a checklist. It’s not a “get-it-done” assignment. It’s a love letter from the One who knows my name. But…
Power Out — Peace On
My mama heart has been doing a little pacing lately. My precious daughter, Staci, and her amazing husband, Larry, steward a beautiful 62-acre ranch in Alto, Texas — wide skies, tiny homes for retreat and restoration, and a magnificent lodge where lives and businesses are built God’s way. It’s a place where peace feels intentional.…
Lost and Found
It happened again.That familiar moment of panic.Phone gone. Vanished. Translated to another dimension. I checked the usual suspects — the car, my purse, the kitchen counter, the bathroom, even under the sofa cushions (because phones love cozy places). Nothing. So I did what any modern woman of faith does…I went to my computer and tapped…
He Holds Tomorrow
On the little shelf outside our apartment door, I change out a bit of décor each month — nothing fancy, just something meant to encourage passersby by giving my voice to faith and calm in a noisy world. This January, I placed a simple sign that reads: “I don’t know what the future holds, but…
From Manger to Majesty
I am still amazed by the miracle of Christmas. Truly amazed. That God — the Creator of galaxies, oceans, and every beating heart — chose to come to earth wrapped in human skin. That alone should make us stop mid-sentence and ask — “How could that be?” A virgin named Mary held the Son of…
I Choose To….
Dr. Robert Schuller said it well: “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do.” And mercy, don’t I remember those tough times — days when the bills piled up, and the calendar still insisted the month wasn’t over. Yet somehow, we made it. Not because we were strong, but because we leaned on the One…
Still Learning!
I absolutely love being a student of life! It’s exhilarating to wake up every day knowing that God has a brand-new lesson plan waiting for me. No tuition fees. No final exams. Just hands-on, heart-deep learning from the Master Teacher Himself! Every day brings a pop quiz in patience, a surprise lecture on gratitude, or…
Take a Nap – God’s Got You
It’s no secret that I’m an early riser. Always have been. I was the kid who bounced out of bed at 6 a.m. while the rest of the house was still snoozing. That hasn’t changed much over the years. The only difference is that now, I’ve added an important ritual to my day: the mid-day…
It’s Not About Me
One of the most important lessons of my life has been this: It’s not about me. (Whew! What a relief.) Philippians 1:11 says we are “filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” That means the good in my life? God started it, and He’s the…
The Case of the Lost Driver’s License
A few days ago, I was a woman on a mission — a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) mission. My sweet friend, recovering from back surgery, needed a new handicap placard – the others had expired. Easy enough. I headed to the Williamson County DMV, took a number, waited patiently, and voila — mission accomplished!…
