    He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  Psalm 91:1           When I was a young child I was terrified of electrical storms. Hiding my head gave me a mild sense of comfort and protection, but the fear remained, lurking, ready to scream, “Boo!” at the next clap of thunder. Time and experience has drained some of that fear. Still, while others may watch and marvel at… Read More

    I would have never guessed that 72 hours could change my life so dramatically.  This past weekend I went on a Women’s Walk to Emmaus. I was surrounded by a group of women who were united in one desire: draw closer to God. We laughed, we cried, we laughed until we cried. 72 hours of being submerged in God’s lavish love. There are no words to describe it! I came home with a renewed faith… Read More

      For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalms 139:13 It’s bathing suit time…staring in the mirror at myself, God reminded me that I’m His masterpiece. I love to do needlework: knit, crochet, embroidery, cross stitch…I do it all. Tiny stitches on a needlework canvas form an intricate pattern and eventually reveal a beautiful picture.  Rows of stitches from a soft yarn result in a comfy, warm afghan… Read More

  • Psalm 23: The Wonder of it All

    I thought I knew Psalm 23. I’ve read it a hundred times. I’ve heard it read another hundred times. I’ve quoted it…well, you get the point.  Then, one day, as I was making my way through Psalms (for the hundredth time), I came to this familiar passage. I felt God say to me, “You’ve never really read this, have you?” “Sure I have.” “You’ve missed the layers of grace that enrich these words.” And so I began… Read More
