The Walk to the Cross
Life is nothing but a journey. A one foot in front of the other endeavor that leads us down familiar and sometimes not so familiar paths. Choices guide our steps toward certainty as we focus on God or doubt when we believe we can find the way on our own. I write about...
Surprise! God Has Your Best Interest at Heart- Guest Post
It is such a treat to introduce another featured writer to you. Michele Morin and I have "known" each other for at least three years. We share the fact that we are "boy moms" and have become friends across the inter webs. Michele is not only a beautiful writer, but...
Creation’s Journey to the Cross
My morning wake up call is more enjoyable these days. The sun makes its appearance earlier and even has decided to show off. Streaks of bright orange paired with deep reds are just what my soul needs to wake up out of the winter slumber. This past weekend we moved our...
Come As You Are
Tomorrow we begin the walk to the cross. Each intentional step we take is our chance to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. The invitation is always there signaling us to "come as you are." The choice is up to us. I can't help but embrace these next forty days as my own...
Monthly Musings ~ February 2019
The shortest month has a way of feeling like the longest. The twenty-eight days of February have a way of wrapping their beginnings and endings around me. The long and the short are just that- long and short, but have you thought about the possibiities each day might...
The Call to Lay Your Isaac Down
There are times when you connect with another writer and in the process discover all the things you have in common. Linda Stoll is one of those people. Even though our friendship spans across internet miles, we find how God continues to lead us on similar paths. It is...
Mountaintop Vistas or Valley Floors
You answer our prayers with amazing wonders and with awe-inspiring displays of power. You are the righteous God who helps us like a father. Everyone everywhere looks to...
The Road to Becoming
I wonder if the road to becoming is paved with patience and grace. Are baby steps allowed and even wrong turns? When you walk with a friend on this road, do you let them set the pace or do you pull them along based on what you think is best? Each question above is one...
Monthly Musings ~ January 2019
We are just shy of the end of the first month of 2019. The fresh, squeaky-clean feeling that marks the beginning of a new year is becoming a little stale. The dreams and goals that were written in our best handwriting as of January 1 may look a little ragged as we...
Songs of Hope
Life twists and turns and sometimes, when we are lucky, follows a straight path with little deviation. My son, Nicholas, knows about this journey called life. A year ago, he faced some unexpected and difficult news. But he didn't let things end there. I watched,...
All For HIS Glory??
In the year 2012, I began a journey of writing. A few words here and there and frightened hesitancy each time I was ready to hit publish. This was the path I walked before sending each post into the world. Writing for His glory was my focus and my heart for the "why"...
Coffee and Conversation
It was Monday night. The temperature was slowly bottoming out and there was anywhere from 8 to 12 inches of snow on the ground. The coffee shop was well lit and welcoming. Sweet coffee aromas wafted among the group of women who were gathering. Tables were pushed...
In the Middle of Winter- Guest Post
Once a month, on the third Tuesday, you can stop here and gain some wisdom from a featured writer. Today, I am welcoming Joanne Viola to share her story. The beautiful part of this process is the chance you all have to get to know the featured writer on a deeper level...
Standing Where You Hoped You Would Stand
I was always one step away. Standing nearby but never quite fitting in. Second choice with a desire for the top spot. Looking from the outside in and wondering when the door would open for me. This was my perspective, especially in my high school years. Someone else...
The One Word That Almost Wasn’t!
Are you part of the thousands of people that choose a word for the year? What does the process look like as you choose your one word? How do you know the word you come across is THE word for you? This year as in many years in the past I began to take a look back while...
