Following His Path To Something Beautiful
Sometimes life can just bring you down with what goes on around you. It can leave you wondering how to rise above your circumstances. My daughter's friends, and my favorite person in the Bible (Ruth) taught me about that this week. I realized something was wrong with Olivia when I tried to send Charlie, her, [...]
Do you ever look at the world around you and think “What is going on right now?” Maybe justice doesn’t seem to prevail. Your circumstances dictate your behavior, and as much as you call out to God, you don’t feel like God is listening to your prayers, because you don’t see them being answered. Let's [...]
Have you ever felt weak? Maybe like a tree whose roots aren’t that deep, struggling to survive? And if a storm comes, you would be shaken and knocked down? Unable to be thrive through the wind and the rain? As we all know, roots are vital to the health of a tree. They provide nutrients [...]
What has Jesus done? Well, that is a loaded question, and a question that stopped me in my tracks the other day when I was reading about the last supper. I have been struggling with a double ear infection for about a month now, and trying to endure my way through it. It is frustrating [...]

A few weeks ago, I had flowers sent to my friend on the anniversary of the passing of a loved one. You never know what you are going to get when you order flowers from the internet, but the flowers were beautiful. White roses with some greenery sprinkled in. Roses are my favorite, but they [...]
I found this file on my computer this week, and realized I never posted this anywhere. I wrote it 3 years ago, but the truths stayed the same. It is the story of being a prodigal daughter, and the God who says to us "Daughter, you are now home." When I followed Jesus in high [...]
Does anyone like FaceBook memories? Today I was reminded of a few significant events over the past 9 years, and 11 months. And today, I'm remembering God is God. He is good, and He is faithful. But 9 years and 11 months, that is how long I have been in my 30's. The day I [...]
Don't give up! Keep trying. Said Charlie. It started out as a normal day on the boat. We were on the island and trying to catch some fish. We actually caught a lot of fish. And big ones too for so early in the season. Charlie was really excited, however, one of us wasn't catching [...]
