What is the purpose of Lent? I have to admit I’ve struggled with it a little bit each year, praying mountains will move and maybe an epiphany of sorts when it comes to my journey with Jesus. Many times, I think of this time of preparation to being focused on my individual sacrifices that I’ve… Continue reading Lent

Steps
I remember the first time my husband and I decided, in an attempt to save money, to lay the flooring in our last home. When anyone attempts to begin a similar undertaking, we all know how important it is to just follow all the steps. You don’t get to a quality finished project by passing… Continue reading Steps
Wait
What are you waiting for? Doesn’t it seem like we’re always waiting for something to happen? I look back over a good portion of my life and I most likely would fill hundreds of pages during the different stages of what I was hoping for, praying for, and many times desperately praying. And here I… Continue reading Wait
Win
Does God have a scoreboard for each of us in Heaven? Somehow, it’s what I worry about and picture at times. Maybe you envision the lighted scoreboard, similar to the ones used at a baseball game, that keeps track of which team is winning. It also can keep track of how many balls and strikes… Continue reading Win
Valentine
Yes, it’s that time of year again. It’s a day of so many expectations of whether someone special will surprise them with that bouquet of flowers, a special dinner at a cozy restaurant or maybe just an acknowledgement with a heartfelt card and speaking those three special words, “I love you.” My parents were married… Continue reading Valentine
Hold
As I begin my prayer time on this partly sunny day, there was something simple but eye-opening, when I read the Psalm verse, “you hold me by my right hand.” So much so, that I stopped reading and felt the need to just sit quietly envisioning Jesus holding my hand. It is amazing to me… Continue reading Hold
Grand
I question the truth in the quote, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon, I couldn’t resist taking pictures from every angle, attempting to capture the different shades and angles of the light streaming through the trees, against the formed rock structures, not to mention the textures… Continue reading Grand
Favored
The word favored came to me during a conversation I had with a close friend. She spoke that specific word as she shared her story, and I quickly scribbled it on a piece of paper beside me, because I felt it was of significant importance. How much of a priority is it in our life… Continue reading Favored
Fly
The first time I flew on a commercial airplane was our honeymoon. Frankly, I didn’t know what to expect. Luckily my new groom knew the ropes a lot better, and I just followed his lead. I was a little unnerved when there was, what I considered, turbulence while flying. Again, my husband didn’t seem concerned… Continue reading Fly
Wise
What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear that word? It’s an easy answer for me – the three wise men following the star. For many, once Christmas Day is over, that is the end of the season. Trees and decorations get taken down, music on the radio returns to “normal”… Continue reading Wise
