    He Will Direct Your Path {Word Filled Wednesday}

    21 March 2012 / 24 Comments

    Miss 18 made it home safely from New York late Sunday evening. Praise God. Y’all have no idea how much I was stressing over this trip… A few weeks ago, Miss 18 called to ask if I could bring her home for Spring Break and I agreed. My head was immediately filled with all of the adventures we’d have since the weather’s warmed up. Then the day before I was to pick her up, she informed me that she’d be spending the week in New York. My heart broke for a variety of reasons: My daughter wasn’t coming home She was going off to New York With people I didn’t…

    Why Does God Love Me? {Bible Reading Plan}

    23 January 2012 / 0 Comments

    My sisters and I used to joke that our first stop on the way home from the hospital was church. And from that moment on, we spent every waking moment in church… For most of my life, I’ve always felt God’s presence around me. Even when I was running ahead of Him, I knew He was there, ready to pick me up when I stumbled. So why am I sitting here at 1 something in the morning trying to figure out where it’s all gone? I know I haven’t lost my faith, but I’ve lost something and I need to find it. I want that happiness and joy that I see…

    And It Was Good {Word Filled Wednesday}

    11 January 2012 / 6 Comments

    And it was good. For the past few days, God has been dealing with me about the power of the tongue (truth be told, He’s been dealing with me and this issue for more than a few days) but the other day, it finally hit me… Genesis 1:3 says that God said let there be light and there was light. He didn’t go through a long creative process, He simply spoke and it was. And it was good. That is power.  Jesus spoke and blinded eyes were opened. That is power. And as children of God, we also have that same power in our speech. We have the power to…

    Think and Pray Before You Step {Word Filled Wednesday}

    4 January 2012 / 4 Comments

    I’ve often said that I have the navigational skills of a monkey in a hurricane. Sometimes being directionally challenged has led me to wonderful discoveries such as the Bollinger Mill Historical Site and other times it has left me on the side of the road near breaking point because I wasn’t sure which way to go. But the one thing that I’ve learned throughout both of these experiences is that I need to have a plan. If I don’t want to get lost, I can’t simply rely on my GPS. I have to have a map and a fully charged phone. In our spiritual lives, sometimes we can feel like…

    Word Filled Wednesday: Be Careful What You Loose

    7 December 2011 / 8 Comments

    Have you ever angrily whispered, “Drop dead” to someone you love? Or typed a quick “Consider it done” when a friend has appealed to you for prayer over a situation in their life? Or said “God bless you” to someone who’s just sneezed? These are all examples of seemingly innocent utterances that pack a lot of punch. Proverbs 18:21 {NIV} says: The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. This means that we must guard our tongues and be careful of the words that we speak. When we’re talking over our lives and the lives of those around us, we…

    Word Filled Wednesday: Remember the Sabbath

    30 November 2011 / 4 Comments

    Google Friend Connect is disappearing soon, but I’d love for us to stay together. You can read my blog in your favorite reader through my RSS feed, join the conversation on Facebook or chat with me on Twitter. Make sure you give a shout out and let me know you’re there!  Rush rush rush, it always seems like I’m in a hurry to catch up on stuff. That’s my life, 24/7. Whoa, wait! Did I just say 24/7? Yes, I did. And that’s a problem. The Lord tells us in Exodus 20:10 that the seventh day is the Lord’s day and on that day we nor anyone in our households…

    Word Filled Wednesday: A Time for Everything #NaBloPoMo

    17 November 2011 / 4 Comments

    Sometimes it feels like things aren’t working out and my prayers aren’t being answered, but I have to remember that God works in His time, not mine. Every phase of life has its seasons, there will be times when the blessings are overflowing but there will also be times when it feels like I’m barely keeping my head above water ~ God’s gift comes not at the end of the trial but in making it through. I’m linking up with:
