Joy is Coming

I watch and listen to the news to find out what’s going on in the world. I was told that it’s important to know what’s going on. At the same time, it can be so overwhelming and sad, how does one cope? In my last blog post I talked about how the death of peopleContinue reading “Joy is Coming”

A Time to Mourn

A few weeks ago I sat down at my computer to start writing a blog post. As I opened up my computer I received a text message from a friend. I picked up my phone to read the message. I could not believe what I read. I was stunned. I read it again to beContinue reading “A Time to Mourn”

Not Enough

Back to the beginning, on the sixth day, God created male and female in His image and He said it was very good (Genesis 1:26-31). So, if I am created in God’s image or likeness and He said His creation is very good, then why do I feel like I am “not enough”? I don’tContinue reading “Not Enough”

Creation

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). He didn’t stop there. Everything we see and so much that we don’t see, He created. The beautiful blue sky, the warm sun and floating clouds were created by God. When you look up at the sky at night and see the moonContinue reading “Creation”

Because God…

In Genesis 1:1 we read, “In the beginning God”…I need to stop there… because GOD. Because GOD. I need to pause in awe at who God is and how great and majestic He is. God. Creator. All powerful. The Great I AM. He is the King of kings, Lord of Lords and the God ofContinue reading “Because God…”

Beginning

In the beginning…everything needs to start somewhere. It might be a blank screen or paper before you write, an empty room before you decorate, dirt before you plant a garden, a piece of material before you sew, wood before you build and the list goes on. Here I am beginning to write…thoughts. I sat outsideContinue reading “Beginning”

Years

Five years…actually it has been longer. I’m not really sure when God planted the seed for me to create a blog. I think it was around 12 years ago. I shared the idea with a few friends but they all discouraged me from doing it. At the time I was very busy and they wereContinue reading “Years”

Words

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…Then God said…God spoke, and the earth and everything on it was created. Words can be very powerful. With words we can encourage others but we can also discourage others. Carefully spoken or written (or typed) words can build someone up. On the other hand, wordsContinue reading “Words”

Planning

I like to plan my day. I like schedules. I use the calendar on my phone a LOT. I have a calendar hanging on the wall in my pantry where I try to remember to write down appointments or other things that take me out of the house and is not work related. That wayContinue reading “Planning”

Staying Organized

If you ask my friends what is one word to describe me, they would probably say, orangized, or that I like the color orange. Anyway, I like to organize things. One way to stay organized is to write down important upcoming events. But don’t write it down and forget about it. Put it in aContinue reading “Staying Organized”
