After returning from a singing competition I attended with our diverse women’s chorus, I mulled over the things I shared about my life and faith as the opportunities arose. I love getting to know people on a deeper level and I’ve learned that if I’m open to sharing my life, I need to remain a …
Lately the Holy Spirit has been nudging me to leave my past behind, to open myself up to responding differently and thinking new thoughts. When I started thinking of scriptures that would help me, man oh man, there were sooo many! Let’s start with this one. “I don’t mean to say that I have already …
Have you ever had a scripture download in the middle of an unrelated sermon because God was speaking to you about your concerns? That’s what happened to me. It wasn’t because I wasn’t paying attention to the message being preached, but because I’m going in for surgery this week and my emotions are all over …
I feel like there should be a warning at the beginning of this post, because I have so many threads running through my head—things God has been showing me—that I may come off a little scattered or disjointed. I have made some big decisions recently which I thought would help my mental state. But instead …
You’ve guessed it. I’m feeling the pressure today. Why? I’m guessing it’s because I’m a dreamer. I love to imagine all the things I could do and I add things every time something sparks my interest.

This quote is not what I would have expected to hear from God this morning. I’m sure it isn’t what you would expect me to write about, either. But I understand it and I will explain. I’ve been depressed and in more pain than usual and was struggling with the notion of writing an encouraging …
You may recognize this photo from last weeks post, the only difference is the title. I found I wasn’t ready to move on from this topic and I missed linking a wonderful song we sing at church that shares this message. Please take a moment to listen to Cody Carnes Firm Foundation (He Won’t). His …
I’m such a baby when it comes to being sick. I was ready to put on my running shoes and get busy writing my novel again when I came down with a stupid cold. Now all I want to do is sit around in my pjs and read until I’m better. Oh! And eat. I …
My last post was Sent, where I looked at who was sent and who did the sending. I wasn’t expecting a part two, but God had other plans. As I waited for today’s inspiration, this song came on the radio: CAIN - The Commission. When my niece posted on Facebook this morning, that my ex-sister-in-law …
