I just completed the YouVersion plan, Making Time to Rest. (A great plan.) The plan used the example of filling a bucket. Taking an account of my own bucket, I was feeling…empty. I’d already missed one Friday post this month. I didn’t want to miss another. But what could I give when I felt I …
God uses illustrations often times when trying to explain things to me. I hope you won’t find fault with this imagery or method. Here goes… Friday I wrote about my rising worry, then Sunday came. During a prayer and word about the Lord piercing the darkness, given to our church through a friend, God showed …
Here I am. Stuck in worry. Again. I want to share my journey with you. My struggles and my victories. Right now, I am struggling. I had thyroid surgery 26 years ago when a goiter appeared overnight. They first attempted to drain it. That was traumatic for me, as I tried not to swallow as …
Bella This is my sweet girl, Bella. She is 15 years old. This may be an unusual inspiration for a blog post, but it makes perfect sense, since I was awake at 2:00 in the morning thinking about it. Lol. The first title I thought about was Sniffing God, or Sniffing for God. I decided …

I picked this picture (above) and this scripture (below) to represent me in this moment. I don’t ever want to misrepresent myself or my struggles. I am a rollercoaster type. One minute full of excitement, enthusiasm, and inspiration, and the next minute full of doubt, despair, and depression. I absolutely love the top of the …
Today, let’s look at some of the reasons we don’t get the answers we’re hoping for. This first scripture gives us two hints. Can you find them? You jealously want what others have so you begin to see yourself as better than others. You scheme with envy and harm others to selfishly obtain what you …
I was all set to go back to writing my blog once a week, especially with how consuming it was for me to write last week’s series on direction. Plus, I’m two days into a 21-day prayer and fasting plan for writers. I’m thinking that’s too much, I shouldn’t write this, and God is thinking …
Only two more days to wrap this up. What treasures we are uncovering! Are you excited to see what’s next? Today we have three more scriptures chock-full of enlightening information. I’m sure you know this first one well, but let’s open our hearts and look at it with new eyes. ‘For I know the plans …
