A New Perspective

In the middle of the night, when I couldn’t sleep nor distract myself with things any longer, I cried out to God for His light.  I asked Him to show me what was behind my worries in my current situation of having another root canal.  The sheer frustration of the waste of time and money ebbs and … Read more

I don’t know if I can face that again?

Looking towards next week and anticipating yet another root canal, the thought popped in my head, “I don’t think I can do it.”  Right after another thought popped in, “Whose strength are you looking to?” I would love to tell you that it all gets easier.  In some ways it does because there is history … Read more

The Majesty of God

The Majesty of God

Hebrews 1:3  ”He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.” In my effort to think about God more than about myself, I shared my desire to learn about the majesty of God with my prayer partner.  She told me … Read more

I find myself thinking ahead a lot of the time.  Looking forward to certain events being over or when I feel better then I can… In my prayer time I was talking to God about that and I felt He showed me I was walking past the resources that are in each moment. I saw … Read more

Hanging in Together

In the middle of the night I woke up with a throbbing swollen jaw.  Perhaps the root canal my dentist thought I may need has manifest. I am already running a fever as my cold has gone into my chest and I can’t lie down.  The thought of having to go on more antibiotics is … Read more

Lioness Arising

One thought at a time

I think it was Joyce Meyers that said I can’t stop a bird from flying over me but I can stop it from building a nest in my hair. That is the way I feel about thoughts. The best way I know is to put good thoughts in and not leave room for the negative … Read more

Awake my soul

Have you ever had one of those days or weeks when you were a listener for people who were angry about their life situation?  You feel a lot of compassion as you imagine what it would like to be in their shoes.  But no matter how much you imagine, it is such a different vantage … Read more

Is there clutter on the top of your well of life?

God has deposited in each of His children a well of living water. This is our innermost man, our spirit, where He communes with us. 2 Corinthians 1:22 says that God set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. We can … Read more

Do Not Attempt This on Your Own!

Have you ever seen a television show where they say “Don’t try this at home?”  My husband watches shows such as “Top Gun” or “Myth Busters” where they say that at the beginning of the show.  I remember as a child seeing shows where the stunt man Evil Kenevil would do dangerous trick and they … Read more
