Good morning! Undoubtedly there are many studies surrounding this topic. Today, I'd like to share my thoughts on it, a simple analogy you could say. This morning I was praying and I asked God to forgive me for not caring enough about my body, which is His temple. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit ..."1 …

Which plan should I trust?
From a grateful heart today and everyday! I am writing this post on my laptop while sitting in front of my piano keyboard trying to play along with some instructions from an online course. Suddenly, I am realizing that NOTHING happens without the Holy Spirit's help and leading. I can assure you that there is …
Tests Lead to Joyful Progress
Hello friends, I recently read a story about how in ancient wars the enemy would, at times, shoot flaming arrows at the surrounding areas to set them on fire. The arrows were not meant to kill but to DISTRACT. Similarly, this is what happens to us as Believers in our walk. Once distracted, an attack …
Out Of The Debris
Storms come and go. We can either get up and clean up after they pass or we can just sit in the debris and live in self absorption and discouragement the rest of our lives. Recently I was thinking about the last 10 years of my life. I also thought about the next 10. Not that …
“Mindsets”
I'm very grateful right now to be able to say with confidence that God hears me and is working all things out for my good. And yours! I asked God a few questions today… I used to say “Lord, I’m confused.” But, this is not correct! “For God is not a God of confusion but …

Two little letters and yet powerful enough to bring both peace and destruction to our lives. And not just to us but to everyone around us! I woke up this past Sunday with a stabbing pain in the back of my head just like I did last weekend. No, not like a hangover headache. Trust …

Thank you for taking the time to read and spend a few moments with me as I share some very special clips of my life journey with you. I was blessed to spend this past week with my sons and daughter-in-law in North Carolina. As I share what the Lord showed me while I …
Adopted
My husband was clear. I was not allowed to feed the cats that came to visit in the yard because they would quickly become part of your family! One day, Mike and I were having a small BBQ, just a few hot dogs. There was this one small cat who had been visiting us occasionally. She …
The Closet
Here I was, sitting on the floor and journaling, when suddenly I looked up at my closet and thought to myself, “I really need to get that organized.” Christmas, spring, summer, and fall decorations along with shoes and clothes all stuffed in one little space. Oh, and lots and lots of memorabilia from two boys …
