Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord. How many times have I thought to myself, I think I’m going to …? I can’t count it. I remember being asked as a young girl, what are you called to do? Do you have […]
Help Me
Matthew 14:22-32 tells a story I have heard many many times starting in Sunday school to present day. Most of us have heard or read it ourselves over the years. It is the story of Jesus walking on water. I hate to say it had become a story I know but never really examined. There […]
What Do You Miss
We all have memories. If we’re lucky, we especially have Thanksgiving and Christmas memories. Maybe you had a small family and the holidays were a quiet restful time together. Maybe your family is pretty big and this time of year was crazy and loud. I came from a big family on both Dad and Mom’s […]
What Am I Telling My Grandchildren?
I am a grandma. I have three different names I go by, as of right now. My grandson Max calls me YaYa. My grandson Conner and granddaughter Ayla call me grandma. My granddaughter Juniper calls me Gamma. I have another granddaughter who will arrive anytime in the next few weeks. I’m guessing her sister will […]
Write What You Know
They say to write what you know. (Who are they BTW?) I don’t know an abundance of stuff. I’m better at tiny little tidbits of useless information. I love to read, and I pick up little bits of trivia that no one cares about, and then I recite it when the subjects come up, if […]
What Do I Choose
Today I read a statement. “What you don’t change, you choose.” What am I choosing? I get up every morning, and go about my morning routine. You know the drill, shower, brush teeth, fix my hair, etc. I go downstairs and pour a cup of coffee. I then go sit on the couch and pull […]
Faith of a Child
I was on a facetime call with my daughter and granddaughter this morning. Keep in mind, my granddaughter just turned one year old, so the conversation with her was mainly blabber and giggles, but as I was watching her, something from last week’s sermon came to mind. Little Juniper was basically using my daughter Meredith […]
Root Bound
I have a room at the front of my house that is mostly windows. I treat this room like a greenhouse. I could probably call it my therapy room. I love plants. I love to see what I can get to grow. If I find seeds, I’ll put them aside so I can place them […]
Let it Rain
Isaiah 45:8 says, “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.” Sometimes the rain makes me grumpy. I admit it. All the times I have heard people say, “April […]
