Finding Hope, Mercy, and Grace in a Parking Lot

July 20, 2022 It was a Wednesday when my youngest blessing and I were looking at kittens. She always wants to see the ones in the pet store when we are nearby. We hadn’t had kittens for about 30 years because: 1) my husband says he doesn’t like cats 2) my youngest seemed allergic to…… Continue reading Finding Hope, Mercy, and Grace in a Parking Lot

Who Do We Put Our Faith In?

August. 4, 2020 When I do devotionals at a women’s group I volunteer with, I will share what I have struggled with in the past or what I am struggling with presently, and it is my desire to point others to what God’s Word says about that. This morning when deciding what to talk about,…… Continue reading Who Do We Put Our Faith In?

Enter at Your Own Risk

July 19, 2020 A few weeks ago, I took my littlest to visit with her best friend, whose mom is also a very dear, sweet friend to me! Before we headed there, I texted her for the address so I could plug it into my car’s GPS. When I received a text back, it had…… Continue reading Enter at Your Own Risk

Beautifully Broken

June 26, 2020 For the longest time I believed that I really didn’t have many problems, if any at all. When we are growing up we probably don’t think too deep on the rights and wrongs of the world. You adapt and adjust pretty much to the world you’re given because there’s really no other…… Continue reading Beautifully Broken

Even If

June 24, 2020 I often think back to 2002 when my oldest girlie was getting sick frequently. At one point, the doctor told me that she believed my child might think she’s sick but really not because nothing was coming back “wrong”. I got to the point where I started wondering if she was just…… Continue reading Even If

What a Beautiful Name

In 2003, my heart was drawn to the River of Life Care Home in Romania because they helped women save their babies from abortion. At first I didn’t know what I had to offer, but in the end, I was able to love on the women and children and speak on prayer and parenting: two…… Continue reading What a Beautiful Name

Did I Do THAT?

June 21, 2020 I remember watching Family Matters may years ago, and one of the cameo characters was a neighbor, Steve Urkel, who eventually became the funniest person and star of the show! Almost always by accident, but obviously the known culprit to doing something wrong, he would respond with his catchphrase: ” Did I…… Continue reading Did I Do THAT?

Just Try to Outgive God

June 15, 2020 Some may think what I am about to share is too personal, but I feel it’s important to show God at work, and I pray it encourages others to live in total dependence on God. It’s an amazing adventure! The summer of 1997, my husband went to Hungary to help with an…… Continue reading Just Try to Outgive God

Missing Out on an Amazing Story

June 7, 2020 “….man looks on the outward appearance but the Lord looks on the heart.”I Samuel 16:7 It can be very easy for me to judge a book by its cover. I could look at a person and think, “WOW! They are dressed in the latest fashions, they have great hair, make-up, and nails…… Continue reading Missing Out on an Amazing Story

To Waste or Not to Waste?

April 5, 2020 So it seems that many people are being made to believe this most recent change in the way we live, and how it’s affecting our world, is keeping them from doing anything at all. I would beg to differ…. Just this past week, my family has been enjoying biking, fishing, chalking, drawing,…… Continue reading To Waste or Not to Waste?
