POEM: The Whisper of Your Voice
And I am learning how to be with God in a more authentic and honest manner, bringing to Him all that I am … and all that I am not. This poem speaks to that tension. Continue reading POEM: The Whisper of Your Voice

It’s 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.
The heart knows it’s own sorrows
At the time of this writing I am on vacation … a much deserved break, and an unexpected blessing for me and my adult children (and their families). We are all staying together in a beautiful log cabin rental in Trenton ME (just mainland from Desert Mountain Island – home of Acadia National Park). It is BE-U-TIFUL here, and this simple snapshot from the back deck … Continue reading The heart knows it’s own sorrows
But God
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
Dining With Jesus
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
Receiving Instruction (part 3)
In my last post, I spoke of being ‘thumped’ and asked the questions: What has God called you to do that requires more of you? What are you facing that requires the very best that you have? As followers of Christ we are called put on the Armor of God and stand against the powers of darkness. I have written about this to some extent in … Continue reading Receiving Instruction (part 3)
Receiving Instruction (part 2)
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)
Receiving Instruction
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
