I’m a new blogger, still finding my way and learning what works and what doesn’t. Which is why so I appreciate the great advise that is so freely given by those who have gone before and succeeded. In fact, just a few weeks into my blogging adventure, I read a great tweet by Ninie Hammon reminding her followers of the importance of appreciating your audience. It may … Continue reading From a full heart
I recently attended a fund raiser for women in crisis and watched a video in which several young women shared their stories of abandonment, abuse, and failed relationships. My heart ached for each woman, and my mothers heart wanted so very badly to be able to give them a long and comforting embrace. Thankfully, their individual stories are gradually being transformed on a day-by-day basis. And listening to the stories of these … Continue reading But God
In a previous post, I spoke of having a recurring stream of thoughts, ideas, and scriptures for the last several months. It’s been rather like something is trying to be birthed within me … but how does one go about giving birth to something when you don’t yet know what it is? As I opened my heart to new possibilities, I also opened my Bible and began to look for instructions in … Continue reading Water Walking
It’s a quiet morning at my house, and I’m grateful for this time of reflection after a very busy few weeks.

A few years back, my family … Continue reading Dining With Jesus

I pray I am always honest with God, with myself, and with you – my reader. I never want to represent myself here as having figured out the answers to all of life’s questions, and/or be walking in constant victory over all manner of trials and temptations. Nor, I pray, shall I focus too much on the unanswerable questions of life. Why do we always feel this need to … Continue reading Receiving Instruction (part 2)
It happens to us all. You feel a prompting in your gut about something, or a light bulb suddenly goes off in your head. Sometimes you may have a full understanding of it, and immediately know what your response should be to that revelation. But other times it may be more akin to catching a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye, or hearing a snippet of an instruction … Continue reading Receiving Instruction
When I was a girl, we had 4 fruit trees growing in the front yard. Since I was the youngest of 7 kids, guess who always got stuck picking up the rotten fruit that fell off the trees … ME! One day, while picking up rotten fruit, two kids from down the block came by and picked a few apples off one of the trees. … Continue reading Who Am I? (part 2)
