Lessons from His Table
Over the past year, my theme has been “Come to His Table”. For twelve solid months I’ve reflected on this concept. I’ve dug into His Word and God has opened my eyes to places where He is working and shown me what it is… Continue Reading “Lessons from His Table”
Wonder in the Waiting
“The thrill of Hope, a weary world rejoices” the all-too familiar carol lilting out on the radio. I say “all-too familiar” because sometimes familiarity breeds contempt. I often miss the big picture with things that are right under my nose or staring me directly… Continue Reading “Wonder in the Waiting”
Write Your Blessings
Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Gratefulness. Praise. Thanksgiving. We have all heard it over and over again. We’ve read books about it. We’ve heard sermons on it. We’ve told our friends… Continue Reading “Write Your Blessings”

Carry the Light
Then this light entered the room…it was my little sister…I stared at it…this cupping of light in her hands. It made me want to hold it in mine.
Persistence
The following post I wrote nearly two months ago…but because it was so fresh, I chose not to post it. Since then I’ve been learning what it means to be PRESENT even when I’m no longer Ms. Mary’s primary caregiver. Even that requires Persistence. It’s a… Continue Reading “Persistence”
Dear Graduate…
Twelve years ago I graduated from high school. Now if you’re a teen reading this…you’re thinking I’m old right now. Twelve years is a long time, but you’ll be here before you know it, friend! So pick your jaw up from the floor and… Continue Reading “Dear Graduate…”
