BOOTS ON THE GROUND
Heidi Keeler once wrote, “The qualities that I admire most in someone? The strengths that make up the woman of God that I yearn to be? They don’t come easily. They are forged in our spirits, not acquired.” What qualities do you find attractive in someone, qualities that you would like to have? As I…

Have you ever wanted to hit the “reset” button for your life? Have you ever made a decision that you wish you could take back and redo? Are you currently in a circumstance that you wish you could just stop and rewind and do-over? I cannot imagine that there is not one person out there…
Read MoreNO FEAR
Welcome to the age of widespread panic and fear! Never before have I seen such fear in the lives of people around me. WHY? It is not because of the virus itself that is circulating (Coronavirus), it is because of what is happening in our communities around the world, it is the fear of the…
Read MoreFailure Or Learning Curve?
Wow, can you believe that we are already into March and with that comes the hope of Spring? As we look forward to the warmer weather, let me first take you back a couple of months when you made a New Years Resolution. On the first of January, you were on top of the mountain,…
Read MoreLooking For Love
In 1982 I was introduced to a certain young man by my college roommate and though there were no “fireworks” in that first meeting, my heart warmed to his pursuits over time. With each phone call or letter received (we did not have text messaging then:-), God began to give me new eyes to see…
Read MoreBlooming after Pruning
I have taken so many walks each day while here in Florida and I have begun to notice something that I hadn’t before. In places where a gardener’s pruning shears have been, beauty is sprouting up. Sometimes when young trees are planted, the gardener will prune off the lower branches to give shape to the…
Read MoreWHAT IS YOUR LIFE?
A quiet house. No little feet pitter-pattering through the halls and no giggles waffling from the next room. No cartoons playing on the TV, an empty table at dinner, and no urgent questioning of lost articles of clothing. How did we get to this? I miss it!! Somedays I wish I could go back and…
Read MoreStoreroom of Treasure
Sitting on the floor in our crawl space under our house, I began sifting through boxes and totes with one thing on my mind. “How am I going to let go of a lifetime of “treasures” in order to downsize?” With each box comes images of events past, many of which still make my heart…
Read MoreHope In The New Year
Resolutions. Have you made yours yet? The start of the new year is upon us and most people are giving thought to what they want to do differently in the new year. Whether it is to lose weight, get a new job, conquer a fear, buy a new house, start a family, start a journal,…
Read MoreThe Wonder Of Christmas
Peering out of the window from the back seat of my parent’s car, I looked with wonder at the Christmas lights that glimmered and glowed in an array of colors. It was a tradition for my family when I was little to drive around town a day or two before Christmas to look at the…
Read MoreNoel: At The Appointed Time
On a recent trip to Augusta, GA, I encountered this beautiful clock that stood in the middle of the very small airport. I was waiting to board my plane home and as I looked at this clock, I began to think about how much of the Bible talked or referenced “time.” Since it is Christmas…
Read MoreTHE GIFT YOU BRING
How would you react if heaven came down to you in the night sky in the form of a multitude of angelic beings while you were outside with a couple of friends? I’m thinking of the words “heart attack” for me. This morning as I began reading the story of Jesus’ birth, I read how…
