Change Will Happen
Change happens! As a 50-something year old, I can assure you that as hard as you may fight it, change will happen. I have fought and dug my heels in to resist change, but the winner almost every time is CHANGE! They say that as you get older, change becomes harder,...
Words Matter-Encouragement
Many times when we think of encouragement, we think big and bold! Big and booming... Cheerleader exuberance... Name in lights... Instant happiness... but that is not what encouragement is all about! Subtle, unassuming, pure and authentic are the real ways to...
Sunday Morning Always Comes-Center
Several weeks ago, I started coming here every Sunday to focus on God's Word and remind myself who is in control. This idea emerged after one exceptionally long Saturday night in which a battle ensued in the darkness of night. Sleep was tossed aside as the enemy beat...

The Perfect No
One of the first words every child learns is "No". It's amazing how so much power is packed into one little word. Power that to a young child feels like control. In a world where everything is new and the path to discovery is the norm, the word "No" provides a little...

One road less traveled Bumps, hills, twists and turns One lone person, one bike Cool air in face-now a strong breeze Wheels turning, bike flying FREEDOM Our freedom is in the Spirit! If we continue to read 2 Corinthians 3, this is what we see: And we all, who with...

Blessed… {and a giveaway!}
I've been reflecting on words this week - how they lift us up or tear us down. Almost two years ago, I took a brave step and all those words that I had been saving up came tumbling out on this page. Words that were handwritten in journals were now displayed on this...
Why Words Matter-A Third Grader’s Perspective
It was a beautiful, sunny Monday morning - the kind of day that seemed to dare any sadness to enter into its space. But sadness crept in anyway and blanketed a church on a hill as one family came to put to rest one of their own. I was there that Monday morning as a...
Sunday Morning Always Comes-Faith
Darkness covers the earth A battle ensues for my soul Wreaking havoc on my spirit. A new day dawns fingering its way in with the first glimpse of the sun. Shadows are no longer, Hope is restored, Faith is the victor! My prayer for all when the storms of night seem...
I Am the Question-You Are the Answer… A Guest Post
Looking through the eyes of a 2 1/2 year old great niece on vacation was a lesson in self-discovery. Every few words or phrases were laced with "What's that?" Questioning is the window to the world for a young child and not having been in a day to day situation...
God’s Beautiful Garden-Vol.3
God draws me to the garden day after day! Once I have entered, He speaks to my heart and shares secrets of His kingdom. I have always been drawn to nature and the beauty that is found there, but never have God's lessons been clearer than when I'm in a garden. For the...

God’s Beautiful Garden-Vol. 2
Last week I shared my venture into the Elizabethan Gardens in North Carolina and asked you to join God in the garden. I hope you said "yes" because now that you have entered there is no turning back. Now it's time to sit and stay awhile! Who knew that one garden on...
