Last night I had a dream. A friend of mine (family member) was trapped in a drug deal. They owed another family member a great deal of money, a huge chunk of that person’s inheritance. Their family was really upset, they wanted to catch this debtor in the act. They wanted to see for themselves … Continue reading See the Captive, not just the Debtor
Sometimes we are in seasons of our lives when we don’t really realize what the season is. We tell ourselves it’s spring, when really the snow is still falling. We try to plant things but the ground is still hard. As a gardener who loves the spring, this just makes sense to me. All winter … Continue reading What We Think We Want Isn’t Always What We Need
You probably didn’t realize when you texted me this morning that I went a little overboard last week in my Christmas spending. And you probably didn’t know that my husband had just texted me yesterday suggesting we do a spending freeze till payday. You probably didn’t know I’ve been on Pinterest looking up frugal kid friendly … Continue reading Thank You
The truth is… I’m encouraged today. Sometimes God kisses us with little bits of revelation that really helps confirm in our hearts that we have made the right choice. I’ve been reading a really good book by John Bevere, “Good or God.” So far, I’m only on chapter 7, I highly recommend it. I read … Continue reading The truth is…
A few days ago I opened my windows. Since then (due to Tim’s allergies) we closed them back up. I love the fresh smell of late summer/fall coming in throughout my house. Fall is my favorite time of year. Mostly because I like the clothes I get to wear. Bring on the boots! As I … Continue reading Open the Windows
I picked up a really good book from the library the other day on parenting teens. I’ve always liked the teachings I hear come from Love and Logic. I first learned about them when I read Danny Silk’s book “Loving Your Kids on Purpose.” Excellent book, by the way. They have a Facebook page, too, … Continue reading Weakness
Have you ever had a cartful of groceries all ready to go and the card thing declined your card? I have. It happened to me just a little bit ago. I was in Evansville and the store wouldn’t take a check. They couldn’t punch numbers in from my husband’s card on their machines. I was … Continue reading This is a test…
I wish my story could have ended like yours. The testimony you put on Facebook when you went to Planned Parenthood or whatever clinic and you just couldn’t. How so many years later you have a son or you have a daughter who is doing this or is doing that. I wish I could tell … Continue reading No Longer Silent
It is my heart’s desire to dive into the deep secrets of God. When His Spirit breathes on the word and makes it come alive I, too, am breathed upon and I, too, come alive. Those moments the logos word (written word) becomes the rhema word (living word) in my life are the moments that stir … Continue reading The Deep Secrets of God
My favorite place to study the bible online is at http://www.blueletterbible.com. I went there today and read the daily scripture reading. “A bruised reed He will not break.” There was a devotional that followed that referenced the scripture from Isaiah that Jesus read in the synagogue from Isaiah 61. “The Spirit of the Lord is … Continue reading God Speaks Even Through Sandy Baths
