Trusting God
Seasonal Decisions
I woke up on Sunday morning with a headache and a sore throat. My ears were popping. My head and nose were completely stopped up. I was miserable and I knew why. There’s a very specific time of year for me, when my seasonal allergies are at their worst. I can pin-point it down to … Continue reading
Road Trip Reflections
Last Sunday, my hubby and I traveled to south Georgia to see my daughter get an award. It just so happened that we had a college visit the day before, for my son, which was north of Atlanta. Needless to say, we spent lots of time in the car last weekend. On the trip south, … Continue reading
Spring Inspiration
As my hubby and I were driving home from church on Sunday, I commented on how beautiful the blooming trees were. It was as if overnight, the sleeping earth sprang to life. It’s the very last day of February as I write this and it’s been a long cold winter. I mean seriously cold. We’ve … Continue reading
Divine Timing
I often think about God’s timing. There are things that I pray for regularly that I sometimes wonder if God is even listening. Yet, time and time again, He shows me that He is. For example, at the end of my daughter’s kindergarten year, we moved into a new house and a new school. I … Continue reading
Walking in Peace
Back in my early twenties, I was on a flight home. There were three of us flying that evening and we were all split up. I was sitting next to a complete stranger. Those of you who have ever met me before, know that I rarely meet a stranger. It usually doesn’t take me long … Continue reading
Turning Back to God
Last week, there was another horrific school shooting in our country, that left seventeen people dead. Before the dust settled the blame game began. The gun control advocates got out their bull horns. The mental health reform folks got on their soap box. Everyone wanted to lay blame on someone for the tragedy. When our … Continue reading
But God
As I checked the weather forecast for the weekend, I let out a tired sigh. There was a hundred percent chance of rain both Saturday and Sunday. We have been in a little pattern lately and have had rain for the past two Sundays in a row. When I say rain, I mean all day … Continue reading
Storm Reactions
It rained all day here on Sunday. As I sat in my church worship service the rain steadily came down. It never let up. While our sermon was not about rain or storms, the incessant rain reminded me that God does some of His best work in bad weather. We all know the story of … Continue reading
Choosing Love Over Anxiety
A couple of days ago when one of my coworkers arrived at work, I asked her how her evening went. We always chitchat in the mornings and we are both typically positive people. But, that morning was different. She had received some bad news about a family friend the night before and was concerned about … Continue reading
Inspirations from a Partial Thaw
Our little town was blessed with two snow days last week. The first was exciting for most people. The snow came down throughout the early morning and when it stopped, it was play time. But, it wasn’t one of those stick around for days, snows for many of us. In most spots, the sun melted … Continue reading
