Take My Yoke

As I’ve mentioned before, God has called me into a season of rest, which is definitely a challenge to obey!  However, during this season, as I read Matthew 11:28-30 I find comfort, in a whole new way, so I’d like to share with you! In my graphic above, I’ve highlighted the key words that spoke…

This is Only the Beginning

We pull up to the house and it looks pretty basic, yet appealing to the eye, & it’s located in a neighborhood we’ve always loved. As we wait for our realtor, we have no idea what to expect once she opens that door. She unlocks the door and we walk in… Beauty Awe Amazement Surprise…

When You've Got Nothin'

Lately, I’ve found myself at a loss for words with my writing. Well, maybe not completely at a loss for words, but they aren’t flowing as frequently as they have been and I just keep thinking “I’ve got nothin’ to say”. I’ve been wrestling with this issue because after all, how can a writer write…

When Healing Hurts

I have some friends who are going through some very difficult times as they maneuver through healing & growth.  Watching them agonize over the pain involved, in God putting the broken pieces back together, is a lot like watching a doctor reset a broken bone: it looks and hurts like hell, yet has to be…

Jesus in You

I recently read a passage out of Luke Chapter 1 that really jumped out at me: “And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among…

Take the Time

I receive a text from a friend saying she’s thinking of me, praying for me & hopes all is going well.  I get a beautiful card in the mail encouraging me & appreciating my friendship.  I listen to a message on Voxer from a friend who’s rejoicing in our answered prayers & offering a special…

Obedience is Better than Sacrifice

I remember as a little girl disobeying my mother & her sitting me down & making me write “Obedience is better than sacrifice” in a single line, all the way down the page.  Today, I’d like to refresh our memory on why obedience is truly better than sacrifice & exactly what that means for us…

It's About the Journey

I’ve heard the saying, “Life is a journey, not a destination” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, ever since I was just a little girl. It’s as if I was born with a “go” switch that God cleverly “forgot” to program me with “pause”, “slow down”, or “stop”! {Ha ha!}  However, because I believe that God doesn’t make…

The Treasure Box

It was a very little thing, yet it’s something that made a big difference in my life. At some point in elementary school, I took on painting ceramics. I remember one specific piece that my dad & I made together, for my mom.  It was a box with a lid, shaped like a wooden log,…
