It was May 2008. Our home had been on the market for some time but there was little sign of it selling. I was asking the Lord again about the timing and delay: “Lord are You waiting on our cooperation in some way or are there other factors?” “It’s My wisdom to wait." He said. … Continue reading Monday Manna – Attitude Adjustment Needed

Monday Manna – It Helps to Have God’s Perspective
One of the things God's gifted me with is a passion for His word and a desire to share it with other people. Many years ago, I faced some opposition for some of the things I was teaching because my audience had never heard the truths I was sharing. They wanted me to teach other … Continue reading Monday Manna – It Helps to Have God’s Perspective
When You Don’t Understand the Plan, You Trust the Planner.

How to Fix Your Gaze in Real Life
For almost 3 years my husband had dreams of moving to Missouri. At first I refused to believe that was God's will for our lives.

The Red Curtain
photo by Emerson Peters I went to church in a funk. Everything in me was screaming. “Guilty.” I had disappointed people by failing to follow through on promises. My heart was critical of another brother who I judged to be incompetent and I was judging myself a miserable Christian, at best. The worship started but consumed … Continue reading The Red Curtain

Worth the Wait
2011 opened with a whisper and continued on kitten’s feet through most of the year. To look, you’d think not much was happening. My journals are full of jots and tittles but few lengthy conversations. It was as if we were on pause. Still, there was a massive shift in Mike’s life. Mike had always … Continue reading Worth the Wait
God is True to His Word
The next year was full of surprises as one by one many of God’s promises became a reality. Over and over, He proved Himself faithful. We’d always had good neighbors. Each one was friendly. None of them filled their yards with junk cars or had dogs that tore up our yard or barked all … Continue reading God is True to His Word
Trials to Triumph and Everything In-Between
On May 16th, our 45th wedding anniversary came and went. We were still without a home of our own. This year, 2009, was proving to be such a mix of blessings and stretching, trials and triumphs. The Matt Redman song, “Blessed Be the Name of the Lord,” became a tune on repeat that warred against … Continue reading Trials to Triumph and Everything In-Between
