Trusting God
We Only Have to Do What We are Called to Do
I have had so many wonderful conversations with God this summer while tending my garden. One of them was the fact that in a garden there are many insects. They are all different, but they all have an important job. This little bee was very busy pollinating my squash blooms. It doesn’t seem like much, … Continue reading
Here’s to New Beginnings
I attended a retirement celebration for my Daddy on Saturday. I have to say that it really was a treat. Is was a rather informal affair. An invitation went out over the internet inviting all who worked with him or had worked with him to meet at a bar-b-cue restaurant in Macon. We were happy … Continue reading
Praying for Discernment
The older I get, the more I find myself praying that God will help me with discernment. When I was younger, I would pray that God would let this be the right job or this guy be the right one. Now, I find myself praying that God will give me the wisdom to make … Continue reading
When All Seems Lost…
I have always loved how ugly caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies and I’ve always loved the expression, “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” It’s kind of been my life’s motto. I recently followed along with a Bible study on the book of Ruth on the website, #Shereadstruth. Ruth is a short, easy read. I … Continue reading
God is Always at Work
It has been a very busy summer for me. The entire month of June is a blur. I am happy to say it’s been all good things, from Vacation Bible School, to summer vacation, to my sis visiting from far up in the northern country. I have been home very little and I’m a homebody. … Continue reading

The trip got off to a chaotic start, when our youth pastor was unable to pick up the van she rented … Continue reading
Being Mindful of Danger
While biking on the many trails on our recent beach trip, we encountered several of these guys. The American Alligator is a really a sight to behold. They are direct descendants of the dinosaurs and were close to extinction a couple of decades ago. Through laws to protect them, they have made quite a comeback. … Continue reading
Learning to Enjoy the Climb
My kids’ friends call our neighborhood, “the roller coaster neighborhood.” We have some crazy hills. When you are driving through in a car, you can get those butterflies in your stomach, like when you ride a roller coaster. It’s very tough to ride a bicycle on; but it can be fun as well. The pedaling … Continue reading
Honoring God with Sick Days
I was sick a couple of weeks ago and finally gave in and went to see my doctor. It was a sinus infection. I knew it was. I knew I needed an antibiotic. I had known for a couple of days, but I kept putting it off. I just didn’t have time to be sick. … Continue reading
