Did you know only about 17% of people read their Bible daily? This includes Christians. Why do you think that is? The Bible is God’s love letter to His people. It’s living. It’s message never changes but it’s readers do. Slowly but surely, hearts are softened and wisdom is revealed. The words that didn’t resonateContinue reading “HOLY LOVE LETTER”

PUZZLED
My husband and I started a puzzle two years ago that we haven’t finished. It sits partially completed on the puzzle board in the spare bedroom. We had completed some pretty difficult puzzles before and even framed one. I chose this particular art design for its simplicity, which turned out to be its complexity. TheContinue reading “PUZZLED”
COMMITMENT
I was a marriage commitment failure. I got married at age twenty with a baby on the way and a husband who was a full-time college student. Life was tough but got more challenging when chronic illness hit. It seemed like an almost constant struggle to keep our heads afloat. Finally, the devil influenced myContinue reading “COMMITMENT”
WALLET
God amazes with His provision. When my oldest was 17, he lost his wallet on one of our day trips down to Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado and didn’t realize it until we were in the car on the way home to Denver, a good 3+ hour drive. To give some context, GreatContinue reading “WALLET”

Well, they might have come out wrong, but they often tell the truth about where your heart is at that very moment. Above all else, guard your heart, forContinue reading “HEART”
TRUTH
Thinking back on those times in my life when I felt so alone and didn’t know how I could possibly make it because the chaos and pain seemed too much to bear, He was there. Every moment, He was there. Protecting me, giving me strength to persevere and honor my vows; my commitments to Him.Continue reading “TRUTH”
SLOW
I struggled for quite some time during the first year of “unofficial retirement”. Many didn’t consider my job important, but it was one where I was always busy, with little time for breaks, if we got one, and usually only a 20-minute lunch. Productivity was a necessity to meet immediate and long-term schedules and goals.Continue reading “SLOW”
STRONG
Some people seem to be born strong. Others have gained strength from how they were raised. Still others, like Job’s wife, grow into their strength. Three faltering steps forward, two steps back, one forward, one back on wobbly legs that display their weakness for all to see. She caved in the wifely support department whenContinue reading “STRONG”
