My husband purchased a Rock Tumbler machine as a gift for me this past Christmas. Since I’ve been in a crafty sort of phase, I knew I had to have one of these. The rock tumbler set comes with an electric base, and a container where you place your rocks, shells and even broken pieces… Continue reading Rock

Lent
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
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
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
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
Born
I think it’s pretty safe to say that none of us remember what it was like when we were born. What a magical moment it was when you came into this world, took your first breath and used those lungs to let the world know you had arrived. We wouldn’t remember being wrapped in a… Continue reading Born
Calling
The word calling brings back an instant memory for me. As a child I loved to play outside. I am probably dating myself, but I loved playing hopscotch, roller skating, and other silly games with my friends. Of course, my mom would always call me to come inside for dinner. Many times, I knew she… Continue reading Calling
Oceans
Ocean - Just hearing that word whispered to me can send my soul into a start of calmness. For me the rise and fall of these vast waters and the sounds of the crashing waves have been known to lull me to sleep. Can you recall your first encounter with the ocean waves dancing over… Continue reading Oceans
Marathon
First, let’s get this straight with regards to whether I’ve ever run a marathon. These legs of mine don’t like to run, unless someone is chasing me, or my eye spots an ice cream establishment. However, I greatly admire and respect those that have met this challenge. If you and I put our heads together,… Continue reading Marathon
