Watching for God
The View from Our Knees
On a recent mission trip that my family attended, we toured two houses in need of repair. My daughter and I felt drawn to one and my hubby and son felt drawn to the other. This, as it turns out, was not by accident. This was my hubby’s and son’s first trip to a Salkehatchie … Continue reading
A Message of Light
A couple of nights ago, I had a restless night. I tossed and turned as my body desperately needed to sleep, but my mind refused to shut down. Maybe that has happened to you? An opportunity that I had prayed about for a long time, was lying at my feet and while I was excited … Continue reading
A Call to Thrive

Who We Think We Are
I’m following along with an online Bible study on Moses. We all know his story at least the high points. He’s the guy who survived the Nile River in a floating basket. He’s the guy who got to talk to God in a burning bush. He’s the guy who took on Pharaoh and won. He’s … Continue reading
