Learning to Seek, Find and Abide in the Lord
If your heart has ever yearned to know God more, to walk together with him on the path he’s laid for your life – if Jesus’ promise to abide in you as you abide in him makes you long for that rest and security – then you, my friend, are in the right place. I’m right here with you on this journey! God has been teaching me so much that he wants me to share with you. I haven’t “arrived”, but I’m learning. I’m so happy you’re here to learn with me!

Finish What He Started
I tend to have a problem with completion. I’m an all-or-nothing type of girl; if I can’t complete it, or can’t have it completely, I think I might as well not bother. I’d rather skip the journey and get right to the destination. And yet, I have an embarrassing number of projects in various stages of un-finish in my house (and in my life)…
Spilled Milk
“Don’t cry over spilled milk.” The old adage that means we shouldn’t worry or get upset over something unimportant. It’s not the end of the world, because we can clean it up or fix it.
Spilled milk on the stove – just a drop! – in the shape of a heart…
Messes, Failure and Other Gods
I worship the One True God. Idolatry is abhorrent to me. But what if I have other gods and I don’t even realize it? What am I putting before Him? Idol’s aren’t just wood and stone.
February 18. I’m sitting at the dining table reading my Bible and trying to “have quiet time”….
Joy and a Vacuum
Does anyone really like to vacuum? I’m told people do. I can’t understand it personally. It’s not completely loathsome but it certainly doesn’t bring me joy. I can’t say I look forward to vacuuming day. (Which, truthfully, is whenever the dust bunnies start to breed and the crumbs grow new crops.) So, in our house this is a chore for The Man…
Specks and Planks
One summer recently I learned a very valuable lesson – on judgement. While visiting family, a friend’s son almost slipped and fell. Nothing very serious, but the parent in all of us there “jumped” to help. “Be careful, honey!” “Watch out!” “Oh no!” You know, the concerned parent’s automatic reaction to a child…
Icicles and Attitude
“March” in Michigan means “unexpected”. One week shone 60° and sunny. The weekend poured wet and windy, thunder shaking the sky. Then: 19° and icy.
The morning’s flow was less than smooth. I move slow and the clock moves fast. Up and down…
Casting out Fear
I recently read an article called “New Rules for Announcing a Pregnancy”. Now, I am not pregnant and don’t plan to be again. The article caught my eye anyway. You’ve probably heard the rules: “Don’t tell anyone for three months,” “wait until after the risky first trimester” and the like. Why? Fear…
