I’m thinking about a conversation I had the other day with someone I know. In the business realm of my life, this person has been a mentor to me in many ways over the past several years. But, as I had this conversation with him, I realized, maybe God didn’t put me in this person’sContinue reading “What Keeps You Up at Night?”

I had to write all this down because God has been doing so much for me that I’m about to come unglued with excitement! I have never been in this crazy-beautiful place that I am right now with God. There’s too much for me to try to explain and, much of it, I can’t explain.Continue reading “Spring Must Be Here Because I’m Blooming!”

So, the mission trip. I haven’t talked about it for a while because I really don’t know what to say. It’s been postponed several times and, while I trust that the money I’ve raised is safely tucked away in an account for me to use when the trip finally comes about, I have to admit,Continue reading “On A Mission”

Valentine’s Day has not typically been one of my favorite holidays. I am a true romantic at heart. I love black and white movies–especially the ones where the rough, leading man falls for the sassy, tough girl. They try to deny their feelings for one another, but the facade ends abruptly as she tearfully criesContinue reading “Valentine’s Day”

Undeserved Grace Sometimes I think about the wayI treated You before; How I recoiled from Your touchAnd searched for something more. I turned my gaze to help avoid,Seeing kindness in Your eyes,And the hurt that I implanted thereBy my refusal to recognize The depth of Your affectionAnd Your mercy and Your grace,The perfect plans YouContinue reading “A Poem – By Me”

I’ve been on the “down low” for a while now. I’ve been working on a larger-scale project as of late, so I’ve had to lay this blog aside in order to concentrate on the other project. However, tonight, I’m blogging again in order to sort out my own mind and emotions. We’re just a coupleContinue reading “Praying for Change – A New Year Tradition”

I looked outside this week and the ground was covered in a thick, white fog. That sight immediately took me back in time to when I was just a little girl. Oh, how I loved those fog-filled mornings! I played adventurous games in my head through the cloud-covered streets on my way to the busContinue reading “The Fog”

I wrote this three years ago and it meant so much to me, I thought I’d post it again here. Enjoy. 🙂 Just one week after Thanksgiving, the worst ice storm our area has seen in the past 25 years came blowing through our city. Freezing rain collected on streets, trees and power lines. BlusteryContinue reading “Nothing Melts a Heart Like an Icy Winter Storm”

Sometimes I wish God didn’t know everything in my heart. Some of the things that are in there are pretty messed up. I don’t like to even admit them to myself, let alone to anyone else, least of all not to God. I want to be so good. I want to be so right inContinue reading “Weeding the Garden”

What are little white lies? What is it about them that make us think they’re okay to tell? Are they really smaller than other lies? What is the measuring scale we use to tell if its a little lie or a big lie? I mean, a lie is a lie, and Satan is the fatherContinue reading “Just a Little White Lie”
