about

I am a Christian wife and mother of 2. I am the mother of two adult children. My husband is a full time Pastor. I also work full time outside of the home. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” And for this season of our lives, I have to work. A couple of years ago I asked God for a job using me to serve others and that is exactly what He did. Not in the way I expected, but I am serving! This blog is a way for me to share devotions, whatever the Lord lays on my heart. It is an avenue for me fulfill something I feel the Lord leading me in, which is writing. I am currently working on a book as well!

  • Tragedy – How do we respond?

    I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around what to say today. Today marks 24 years since a tragedy took place on American soil. One that will never be forgotten. That day if you were old enough to remember, you will always remember where you were, and how you felt. It was a senseless act…

  • Psalm 23

    Just some notes I jotted down this evening on Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want Want meaning Need – He takes care of everything we need. The Lord provides. We think we know what we need. But the Lord knows what we truly need. And those needs are met by…

  • Letting Go

    Have you ever seen the picture of a child holding a small teddy bear in front of Jesus and saying “but I don’t want to give it up”? And in the same picture, Jesus is smiling and holding an even bigger teddy bear behind His back, saying, “Trust Me.” This is a beautiful metaphor of…

  • Let it Shine – For Real!

    “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 If we look around us too much today we will see darkness. If we watch the news, or spend time online, we will hear about bad things happening all around us.…

  • Don’t Worry, Be Ready

    You probably have heard that last week a devastating flood came out of nowhere and ravaged a few counties in Texas. Since then similar flooding events have taken place in other states as well. Some have starting talking about this being signs that we are getting closer and closer to the rapture of Christ’s church.…

  • Salt, Love and Green Beans

    Some of you know that I usually do a lot of canning this time of year. I haven’t been able to do as much lately because of my finger infection and surgery. But years ago, one of the first things I learned to can was green beans. I was so proud of myself for learning…

  • Abide: Staying Rooted in the Vine

    When I first accepted Christ I was a teenager. I was all in for Jesus! As a teenager, I hadn’t experienced a lot of life just yet. I felt fully surrendered to God. But as I lived more life, I was a little less surrendered…. I was still in church and doing all of the…

  • Trust Him When You Cannot Trace Him

    I’ll be honest, this one is a little harder for me to write. I usually try to keep things light hearted and funny. And I really try not to complain too much. But I’m struggling this week. And maybe some of you can relate to what I’m feeling and maybe that’s why I’m feeling led…

  • The Smallest Member

    For a few weeks now I’ve been dealing with a minor health issue. My pointer finger on my right hand has somehow gotten infected and the infection has gotten worse to the point that it is now in the bone, osteomyelitis. I am going today to have an MRI and I am being referred to…

  • Hit in the Head by Pride (Literally!)

    When I was in elementary school, I think maybe around 4th grade I took a softball to school one day. I’ve never been particularly athletic. Let’s face it, I’m not at all athletic! Anyways, I brought this softball to school this day for P.E. time. We had a game of softball. And I didn’t do…
