Every year in December I spend time considering the new year and what the Lord is speaking to me. This practice of having a one-word focus and a scripture to support it, has blessed me for the past few years. My words have been: rest, trust, and light. This year’s word, light, seemed so much …

Children of Light
One of the most challenging concepts in my study of Light in the Bible has been understandIng who I am as a child of light. It is one thing to say, “Jesus is the Light of the world” and quite another to say, “I am/we are the light of the world.” So I took my …
Decide
As I pondered about what to write today, my mind kept going back to a teaching I was listening to in my studies this week. Not the whole teaching but the use of the word ”decide”. He explained it as de-side, or take away a side. My mom taught me to love the dictionary. Every …
The Light of Success
Is there anyone out there willing to admit they have a fear of failure? 🤚 I’ll admit it. Too many times I have started something only to get to a point I don't know what to do next, or the next step is one I'm not ready to take. It starts to get into my …

Lamplight
Some posts of mine come out of obedience rather than heart. This was one of them. So now I'm going to spend sometime rewriting this to come from a better place and hopefully a place that will encourage you. I'm going to leave the original in regular font and do my rewrite in italics. I'm …
Light
I believe this is going to be an exciting year for me! Last year was full of difficulty and sorrow. But at the end of the year I had hope. I enrolled in Flourish Writer's Academy and have already felt progress toward my goals as a writer. But this post is not about that, it …
