The word “chosen” takes me immediately back to my school days where I can visualize my classmates and myself all lined up and fearfully waiting to hear our names called to be chosen for the team. I remember how disappointed I was when I didn't make the cut to be on the cheerleading team. Maybe… Continue reading Chosen

Pilgrim
Do you remember the definition of Pilgrim? Just a reminder – “a person who journeys to a sacred place for religious reasons.” Can you imagine the necessary planning the pilgrims of long ago must have done, preparing for the long journey to a new and unfamiliar land? Their goal was… Continue reading Pilgrim
Desire
We all have desires, right? Other words we use to describe desire are our hopes, dreams, longings, needs, and even fancy. When we bring those desires before God, what does He hear? When my desires are so great that it consumes me, what is He thinking about my requests? We’re thinking “If only you will… Continue reading Desire
Amazing
The first visual I picture in my mind is fireworks. I love fireworks! Even as a child I can recall going to the 4th of July parade in our small town, watching the stream of local marching bands, fire trucks and other entertainment stroll down Main Street. Then, once the sun went down, we were… Continue reading Amazing
Easy
My mind rushes back to when my husband and I embarked on the biggest challenge of our lives, running a small business. It was exciting at the beginning, but through many trials and roadblocks, (entwined I admit with many blessings too) there was a time when we almost gave up. But my mother-in-law gave us… Continue reading Easy
Morning
There should be a golden rule that the word good be added to the beginning of the word morning. Because every morning is good! We have another chance to get it right every single day. My husband and I are determined, again, (and again) to move more during our day. With the hot summer days… Continue reading Morning
Gaze
What is the difference between looking or gazing at someone or something? What causes us to gaze at something? When I think of gazing, it pulls my thoughts to something of beauty – a sunset, or just my husband sleeping peacefully by my side (snoring or not). While experiencing the clear night sky, it wouldn’t… Continue reading Gaze
Clear – Open your eyes and see!
“The Sound of Music” is one of my favorite all time movies. I have fond memories of my mom taking me to see the movie when I was only 11 years old. I also love one of the songs, “My Favorite Things”, sung by the star, Julie Andrews. Another thought that comes to mind, as… Continue reading Clear – Open your eyes and see!
Thank you – He listens with an intentive ear for our thank yous.
How many times do we forget to say thank you to not only the ones we love, but even to a stranger? I know I try to be very aware of saying my thank-yous. While out to dinner I once asked our waitress, who was taking care of us, “How often do customers say thank… Continue reading Thank you – He listens with an intentive ear for our thank yous.
Burst! – Finding joy on our journey of faith
Not burst in the sense of a balloon bursting but bursting with joy! That should be our resolution this year – to burst with joy. I hate the same New Year’s resolutions that we profess each year. I vow to lose weight, I resolve to be more patient and kind to others or I promise… Continue reading Burst! – Finding joy on our journey of faith
