Your Heart
Busy. So very busy. Overwhelmed. Keeping up. Appearances. Tasks and “to do”s. He came into our world quietly. Like all babies, pushing his way into the middle of people, some who would love, some who would hate. Some who would worship and adore, some indifferent and unaware. Not forcing Himself onto you.But inviting you to take Him into your life.That very life given by Him. Created for you, by…

Better Than Jesus?
Did the title grab your attention? Well, what I read the other day in John 7 sure stopped me in my tracks! Let me know if it does you. Jesus was speaking truth to a crowd of people, a common occurrence during his short lifetime here on earth. He made the (quite audacious) comment that he knew all about the Father because the Father had sent him to earth. Which led to people’s wondering if he…

Hello Sunshine?
Cloudy. Doesn’t matter if the sun is shining. Everything is cloudy. Your life. Your outlook. Your future. It doesn’t feel like God is present in your life. You can’t see Him or feel Him, and you don’t even feel as if you know Him. But let me tell you something that I have learned a LOT about these last several years. Feelings are not facts. Ugh, ugh, and more ugh! I hate those nice little phrases…

Lean On Me Cuz It's Lonely Up In Here
Lean On Me Cuz It’s Lonely Up In Here
I published this post a year ago! I was scanning through some of my older posts, and decided to post this again. Because last week I had the most awful case of loneliness I’ve had in a long time. It was good to reread this as a reminder. Maybe some of you are experiencing loneliness too. Maybe this will help you a little bit. Don’t give up. And did you know that you have the choice to let Jesus…

Tell Your Story!
Tell your story! Seriously, once you share the hard stuff, several things happen:* it’s not as devastating because it’s no longer hidden* you actually “hear” it as told to someone else and often make more sense of it* your story helps someone* you take away the paralyzing power of what happened to you, and find redemptive power in the telling* you look back from a new perspective, perhaps…

Hallelujah!
Oh praise God we have a risen Savior! There is no one like our God! He is alive! He rose from the dead and has redeemed our souls. Hallelujah! Praise and glory and honor are His alone! Now THAT will preach! Blessed Easter to y’all. “All my life I have been called unworthy. Named by the voice of my shame and regret. But when I hear You whisper, “Child lift up your head” I remember oh God,…

Onion Layers
So I saw this meme on the internet, and thought I’d comment about it. And then God begins to peel the layers off and heal in between each so that your heart can once again love and receive love. It’s a real process, for sure. It takes time–for me, several decades. It’s not a pleasant experience. At times you weep. But the freedom and healing are worth the work it takes to look inward,…

Can We Trust God?
Can We Trust God?
How do you know that someone is worthy of your trust? Most likely it’s because they have proven themselves to you: they are dependable, they have kept your secret, they are loyal and supportive of you. It takes time, usually, to establish trust in someone. And a kind of “testing”. God knows that it isn’t easy for us to trust Him. We are weak-hearted and easily disappointed by people and the…

Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It
Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It
It’s my firm belief that our society could use a lot more attention. Not the “hey, look at me” kind of attention, but the kind that notices others. Attention to others: kindness, caring, listening, looking, touching, smiling, and sharing. Of course, in order for this to happen we’d need to lift our faces from our device screens. If you know that I am someone who sits in front of a computer…

Anxiety Quote
I like how The Passion Bible translates this… “Whenever my busy thoughts were out of control, the soothing comfort of your presence calmed me down and overwhelmed me with delight.” I’d much rather be overwhelmed with God’s presence filling me with delight than anxious thoughts. It’s so amazing that He invites us to give all that stuff to Him to take care of. And in exchange? He gives us…

Focus On The Light
Focus On The Light
From the book Indestructible by Blake Healy, these sentences really grabbed my attention: “The enemy is fighting to get you to see things his way because a simple act can release a massive amount of God’s goodness, leaving a mark that can last for generations.” Satan does not want us to realize the power that is ours through Jesus! When we act as “Jesus with skin on” to those around…

11:11
There are many, many concerns on my mind these days. They kind of swirl around in the background as I go through my day. I’m not especially so worried that I can’t do all that I need to, but yes, this list is ever-prevalent, just a thought away from giving me stress if I allow it to. I know that my ways are directed by the Lord. I know that He will provide for my needs and will accomplish all…

Ever Feel Like You don't Belong?
Ever Feel Like You don’t Belong?
Most of my life I have felt left out, looked over, and that I didn’t really fit in or belong. Some of this was because I moved so many times during my school years. I was always trying to fit into a new crowd of people who already had their cliques. And I was shy and anxious, which sure didn’t help my cause. Being taller than the other students, and often the teachers, made me feel gangly and…

Wrapped In His Heart
Wrapped In His Heart
Guide me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You (and only You) I wait (expectantly) all the day long. Psalm 25:5 Amplified Bible The Passion Bible translation has this footnote that rocked my socks! “The Hebrew word most commonly translated as “wait”, qavah, also means “to be tied together by twisting, to wrap tightly, to entwine”. This is a beautiful concept of…

God Sings? Really?
Warning: long post ahead. Hopefully your attention span is longer than the average person’s (eight whole seconds) because this is really good stuff. Grab a cup of something and take a minute. I.Love.Sparkles! Anything is better with sparkles–clothes, nails, shoes, jewelry—shoot, I’d wear sparkles on my face if I could do it without looking like I’m trying to be a three-year-old princess. And…

Stay Close to the Shepherd
Stay Close to the Shepherd
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:27-28 I love this so much! If we are a follower of Jesus and have a relationship with him, we are one of his sheep. Now while a sheep isn’t the most aspiring animal to identify with (I prefer the lion, please) there…

Flawed? Nope!
Can you relate?…. I start to pray…hyperactive brain fires up. I get distracted by everything I see–it doesn’t take much. So I close my eyes and immediately my brain fills with moving pictures and my “to do'” list. I apologize to God. I tell Him I’m so sorry I’m such a scatterbrain and can’t keep focused on what is important. Then I smile ( I really did) and realize that He absolutely treasures…
