Following His Path To Something Beautiful
If you have followed my blog for a while, you know my fear of flying, and how difficult it can be for me to get on a plane most of the time. It really comes down to me not being in control. My life is ultimately in the hands of God, but in the pilot, [...]
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 heard of hesed love? I wrote a little about it last week. But in case you missed it, you may be wondering what hesed love is. And I am so glad you are wondering, because we are about to take a look in the book of Ruth (more specifically Naomi's blessing to [...]
When I think of the Kings daughter, I think of a princess. And of course I think of all the Disney movies, like The Little Mermaid. King Triton loved his daughter. He seemed gentle and kind, but went above and beyond to help her in her time of trouble, even being willing to sacrifice Himself. [...]
What lessons have I learned from my father? That is what I have been thinking about recently. You see, last week, my grandfather went home to heaven. My heart is sad, but I know he is filled with joy. When someone leaves this Earth, we all like to reflect on what the person meant to [...]
