I recently re-read one of my older blog posts and thought it very appropriate for the subject of this blog series “2018: A Year For Hope”. So today … we’re going back a few years to what was originally posted as “Teathered To Hope“. I’d love to hear your thoughts! ……………………………………………………………………………………………… HOPE: a) to wish for something with expectation, b) a desire accompanied by confident … Continue reading 2018: A Year For Hope (Week 5)
It was several years ago when I first noticed it while reading Psalm 37. Over and over again, the same phrase … “inherit the earth / inherit the land” And I thought to myself, what in the world does that mean? Obviously, something significant or it wouldn’t be repeated so often – but what? So like I often did (and still do), I just sort of tucked it away … Continue reading Crossing Jordan: walking into your inheritance
It’s been almost two and one-half years since I took that first step of obedience. If you’ve read Water Walking, you may remember it was April 2014 when I respond to an inner voice that spoke to me in a time of earnest prayer … “You will never leave the shore if you don’t put weight on your foot (and take that first step of faith).” I can’t tell you how many … Continue reading It’s your inheritance.

Yet in spite of all those ‘failed’ resolutions, I have made great progress towards the fulfilling … Continue reading Press on!
It’s a quiet morning at my house, and I’m grateful for this time of reflection after a very busy few weeks. With worship music playing in the background, my Bible beside me, and a cup of coffee at the ready, I simply want to share the gratitude that is in my heart this morning – this Resurrection Sunday morning. A few years back, my family … Continue reading Dining With Jesus

I started blogging about 3 years ago and was greatly enjoying posting hope-filled blogs in which I shared my testimony, a few funny stories, and talked through challenges faced. But then I got too busy with other things for regular posting. I let my hope-filled blogging slip, and that wasn’t the … Continue reading Tethered to hope
