Watching for God
Worshipping The Rainmaker
A few Sundays back, after church, and after lunch, and after I got my ducks in a row for Monday, I tiptoed out to my back porch. My hubby was out on a run and both of my teens were occupied. I had my laptop in hand and I had prayed that God would meet … Continue reading
Easter is a Way of Life
Yesterday was Easter Sunday. It’s the holiest of holy days for Christians. It’s who we are and what we stand for. After a very gloomy, cloudy Good Friday and a wet and cloudy Saturday, I was hoping for a gorgeous, sunny Easter. But, alas, I woke up to more cloudy weather. I knew the weather … Continue reading
Woodpecker Perseverance
I was taking a walk recently and praying for some guidance. It seemed like nothing I was trying to accomplish was succeeding. From financial plans, to job plans, to spiritual issues. I’m not one of those people who believes that you just pray for something and sit back and wait for God to make it … Continue reading
Savoring the Moment
When the weather gets warmer like it has over the past few days, I feel an incredibly strong pull to get outdoors. My family and I took a walk on Sunday. I had so many things to do at my house, but I’ve become wise enough to know that when my two teens are willing … Continue reading

Why Do You Do What You Do?
Last week I read a blog post by Pastor Darian Duckworth. She writes a weekly blog that my church mama from my last church, introduced me to. Isn’t it funny how she sent me one article that she thought I would enjoy and I ended up subscribing because it spoke to me so deeply? You … Continue reading
God With Us
Have you ever had one of those days where nothing particularly good happened? Have you had one of those days where nothing catastrophic happened, but as you sat down from a long day of being productive, you couldn’t think of much to be thankful for? Yesterday was one of those days for me. I went … Continue reading
God Can Fix This
As I write this, our country is once again reeling from a mass shooting. Sadly, it’s becoming more and more common place and people are frightened. These are without a doubt, frightening times we live in. The latest massacre occurred in San Bernardino, California. One of the first reports that I saw was that a … Continue reading
