September 26th-Would we want to deny someone the ability to learn a lesson that the Lord wants them to learn?
Mark 3: 13And He went* up on the mountain and summoned* those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him. 14And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, 15and to have authority to cast out the demons.
Jesus knew what was ahead and personally selected the people to lead believers into the future. One of the more difficult things for some of…

Created for Moments Like This
I saw this metal wall hanging in a store. I took a photo of it. It spoke to me because I remember the birth of my children. I knew I was created to bring them into this world.
It spoke to me because there have been times when I encouraged someone to carry on and not give up. Maybe I was the one that helped save their life.
Maybe we gently and intentionally encourage others toward a relationship…

Our Long and Winding Roads
We may think of our journeys from cradle to grave as long and winding roads, and that’s entirely appropriate. We can also break our lives into smaller segments, which can seem lengthy and circuitous, especially while we are going through them.
Particularly when we are waiting to see God move in our lives somehow, the wait can seem endless. Sometimes the extra twists and turns can be of our own…

Know What You Want And Need From Dating
How to know what you want and need from dating
Many of us go dating in the dark, without a clear picture of what we want, need, deserve or can expect from a romantic relationship. We may be so intent on meeting someone that we override our intuition, ignore red flags and open our hearts to the first person who pays us any attention. When we experience the addictive ‘falling in love’ feeling,…

Avoid Avoidance
Are you a procrastinator? I fully admit that I am. Putting things off is in my nature, and often, it gets me into trouble.
Years ago, I was invited to a fishing trip to Canada with several friends. I was excited to be a part of it, so I made all the preparations. I got our tackle and poles, warm clothing and our plane tickets. Kathy and the others on the trip got their passports in order.
Mine,…

In The Midst of The Mundane & The Heart of Jesus
In The Midst of The Mundane & The Heart of Jesus
Mundane: “Dull and ordinary,” “relating to ordinary life on earth rather than to spiritual things,” “characterized by the practical, transitory, and ordinary: commonplace.” – Merriam-Webster Mundane: Regular humans – Cassandra Clare (Shadowhunters) A word that exemplifies the life we lead as regular humans, nothing short of ordinary. Ordinary rather than extraordinary. I’ve been trying to figure…

Overcoming Disappointment
Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort. – 2 Corinthians 1:7 We’ve all been there. It’s that letter from the college you wanted to attend, saying they are not able to admit you at this time. It’s that person on the stage surrounded by people, announcing that first prize goes to the other contestant. It’s watching all the…

September 11th-one thing we can say with certainty is, our past is not necessarily an indicator of our future.
Matthew 1: 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 19And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
After numerous verses showing the genealogy of Jesus, it comes to this strange, strained…

About Our Father’s Business?
I have five grandsons. I am watching each one come into their own desires for their future. Of course, my sons would hope their boys wanted to follow in their “business” footsteps, but so far, each of those sons are choosing their own way.

There's a Purpose in Everything
There’s a Purpose in Everything
Hi friends!
For someone who tries to avoid conflict with people I seem to have the most conflict within my self, a lot. I may not always verbalize them to others around me, but I tend to talk to God a lot about my struggles and then I feel guilty for doing so much of what feels like complaining to Him.
As an entrepreneur I confess that sometimes it feels very lonely. I’d honestly say that most of…

The Secret to Enjoying Your Single Life
The Secret to Enjoying Your Single Life
If you’re struggling to enjoy being single, I want to help you. Here’s the secret that set me free: If you want to REALLY enjoy your single life, then you have to learn how to enjoy YOUR life.
Maybe, like me, you’ve bought into the lie that life doesn’t start until you’re married. Friend, that’s so far from the truth. Jesus didn’t die on the cross solely for those who would be married one day.…

God surprised me again. I never saw it coming.
We were at our cute little cabin last week.
I planned on spending a great deal of time in my she-shed. I’ve been redecorating it in a pink and sweet and “girly”. Kinda’ “frenchy meets eclectic meets farmhouse.”
My friend made a sign for me “LaCabinette” that is nailed to the eave of the she-shed. I was looking forward to sitting there on my porch (inside if raining),…
