Oh my goodness! This week’s posts on direction are intense. Who knew how many scriptures would apply? If you think I will be able to fathom the depths of this topic in five days, you would be misguided. Even so, I hope you will gain some perspective on the subject and hopefully feel some confidence …

Direction: Day 2
Yesterday, we looked into what can happen when God has a destination, or a “promised land” in mind for us, and how our fear can cause us to wander around when it was right there at our fingertips. Today, let’s look at some scriptures that will build our trust, remembering that trust in God will …
Direction: Day 1
Have you ever prayed for direction? And having prayed, did you wonder how God would answer? Did you hope he would literally give you a sign to point you in the right direction? I am so excited this week to do something different. Together, we will take a look at how God leads us, searching …
Hold On To Hope
My concept of the post I was going to write was different than what I will write today. My title for this post came to me last Friday. I started looking up scripture references on hope, but I wasn’t getting the clear picture. It wasn’t until this morning when I had a Zoom call with …
Grace and Peace
I have been using Grace & Peace as my complimentary close on my blog for a while, and have used it on my emails for a long time before that. I had wanted to find something that would express more meaning than the usual closings: Sincerely, Best Regards, Love, and the Christian favorite — Yours …
Growing Weary
Today, I want to get a head start on what I know is going to happen. How do I know? Because it’s happened before. And, since my 2021 word for the year is Persevere, it’s a safe bet that at some point I will grow weary. There were three areas of my life that God …
Over and Over Again
There’s a T-shirt I’d like to get with a print of flowers and the scripture about God’s mercies being new every morning. (Lamentations 3:23) not just because it’s pretty, but because I like the reminder. Have you ever felt that you are never going to change? That the problems you are dealing with, or the …
Perseverance: Following the Thread
I am constantly amazed by God’s ability to lead me. Many times in my posts I acknowledge how he speaks to me, or brings things to my attention. Which is reassuring since I’m not consistent in giving him my attention. When I do, and follow the thread that is woven through my world, I discover …
Soul Scars
Sometimes I don’t want to write what God wants me to write, but it is so obviously orbiting my world. Today, it is about sexual abuse. A week and a half ago I had the opportunity to share part of my story with my writing friends as we are taking one of our meetings each …
Enjoying the Journey
With ground breaking on our beach property and a new year to plan for my writing goals, I have so much on my mind. It becomes difficult for me to push past the overwhelm and decide on a direction to progress in. When I sat down to put down on paper what my vision and …
