I'm weary. 500 plus miles in a little over 24 hours. A baptism. Family time. Photo shoots. All time, marching on. I'm powerless to stop it. Living needs to continue. Change. Hard. Inevitable. Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, My hope is secure I still don't like this change. But I need to press on. 30 Days of Thankfulness~ I am thankful for: Moments with my dad new life the waters of ... View Post
How Gratitude Changes Us Day #28 of Thankfulness
I have chosen, with God's help, to walk a journey of Thankfulness this month. It is a practice that is cultivated. It requires digging deep and reflection. Finding things to be thankful for is not always easy. There are things to gripe and complain about. Rights violated, feelings hurt, fairness not applied. This is what makes the world turn. Injustices. Anger. Greed. Getting ahead. At all cost. Glamour and prestige. The spotlight. Yet isn't that what Jesus fought the whole time he was here on ... View Post
He Knows our Name Day #27 of Thankfulness
Looking back is a practice I need. I journal to remind myself. I read God's word for the reminders of hope and promises. Looking back is a gift. Sometimes hard and painful Often uplifting. Reminding us of the faithfulness set before us. 2 Peter 1:12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. Many things are still true this day. We are grateful for so much. We will get our tree. We will step into the Advent season with great expectation. The ... View Post

Blessings in Best Buy Day # 25 of Thankfulness
Each person has a story to tell. The fabric of their life woven together. Some of the stories we know. Others lie buried deep within. Sometimes our lives intersect. A chance meeting. Social Media.

Will You Help, So They Can Go? Day #24 of Thankfulness
Missions. What do you think when you hear the word? Overseas? Foreign country? For the first 15 years of my life I attended a Methodist Church. Missional in its purpose. I remember filling barrels with clothing to send over seas. I remember the barrels. We prayed continually for other countries and the missionaries. Vacation Bible School was a challenge to raise funds to purchase chickens and milk for families in need. I remember holding tightly to the quarter in my hot sweaty hand. I remember the poster board chart. The ... View Post
