Excuses
Excuses – what are they? Merraim-Webster explains “excuses” – as making apology for something, attempting to remove blame for. I don’t know about you, but I know way too often I fall into the trap of excuses. Somebody asks me to do this, and I really don’t want to, so I make an excuse. The excuse… Continue reading Excuses
An Expected, yet UNEXPECTED Phone Call
Receiving the phone call that changed our family’s life…a shortened version of my brother’s liver transplant journey and the bumps in the road that we experienced through it all…and reminded of the presence of God through it all!
A New Day Dawning
Having recently started working third shift, I soon found there was something that I longed for during each shift. No matter how tough the shift was or how easy it was, there was a moment in the shift that seems to fill me with peace and revive my weary human body. “What” you might wonder?It is… Continue reading A New Day Dawning
The Apple Tree
Just yesterday as I listened to some CDs that had been stored away for some time. And I was filled with joy and peace as I heard an old gospel song that has meant so much to me over the years. A song of invitation and reconciliation. A song of surrender to the Lord. A… Continue reading The Apple Tree

This is not the only time we find this particular commitment in the Bible. We also find it in… Continue reading Complete Commitment – Psalms 31:5
No, I haven’t disappeared…
It has been a little over a week since I have posted, but God has been good. It’s in times like these that I am reminded of “Why did I ever doubt that He would be there for me”? God has been speaking to me through my surroundings, many of which I have captured through… Continue reading No, I haven’t disappeared…
