    When morning dawns and evening fades you call forth songs of joy. Psalms 65:8 I woke up kinda draggy this morning. First off, it was 5:45 AM. What’s with that? I know some of you guys get up that early all the time – my husband included – but I enjoy sleeping late, normally until about 6:30. I know that doesn’t sound like much time difference but every minute counts! So, I grumbled, “God, why’d… Read More

    In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. Psalms 5:3 I never cease to be amazed that my Father hears me! He’s the infinite, sovereign Lord and yet He lives within us and hears each of our voices. He hears the praises and needs of every believer the world over, and personally responds to each one. What a miracle of His… Read More

I might be sad at His correction, but I'm… Read More

    Why? When? Now what? The last post in this series: Where do you go to escape? Not many of us walk outside to be surrounded by stunning scenery. I don’t have a backyard full of beautiful blooms, unless a couple struggling rosebushes and a bunch of thriving weeds counts. But there needs to be some place we go, or something we do to allow our minds to focus on God. A habit, if you will,… Read More

  • Now What?

    Ok, you know you need time with God to make it through the day. You’ve figured out a time, maybe, when you can grab a few minutes. Now what? Some of us sit quietly and feel God’s presence.  Some of us need a plan. I’m a plan kinda girl. I don’t have the discipline to sit with my eyes closed and focus on God. My mind wanders to laundry or to what’s for dinner or a… Read More
