Use Your Gifts and Trust the Process

Deb Bostwick — Mon, 29 May 2023 17:40:54 +0000

The last couple of weeks, we’ve been talking about gifts of the spirit and last week we promised to wrap it up this week. But as it sometimes happens, our train of thought (or writing in this case) is sidetracked a bit. This weekend we “celebrate” Memorial Day. Being the daughter of a Marine who...

Do it Small, Do it Big

In Matthew 5:16, Jesus is talking, during his Sermon on the Mount, about how “…your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father”. In 1 Peter 4:10, it says that “as each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of...

Just Call Me the Valentine Grinch

It might be a little early. In actuality, 25 days early. But, if you haven’t already seen it, the valentine’s frenzy is beginning. When I was in my 20s and for the most part unhappily single, I worked for the City of Vista. I don’t know what it was about the office culture but come...

[I guest write for a singles newsletter from time to time. Here is a recent post] I specifically asked to write for Mother’s Day mostly because I have strong opinions but also because I have a story. (Often when I guest blog, I share from a personal perspective to the possible chagrin of Pastor Terry...

It’s Worth the Sacrifice

Deb Bostwick — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 18:15:53 +0000

I remember once taking a class on Financial Freedom from Pastor Larry Osborne. The discussion of tithing came up. The giving of first fruits to God. Recognizing that it was all God’s anyway, so giving off the top to Him was sort of a no-brainer. Someone asked, it might have even been me, what about...

When God is God – His Will vs. our will

Deb Bostwick — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 20:59:38 +0000

[I guest write for a singles newsletter from time to time. Here is a recent post] Do you ever think life would just be a bit easier if God would do it your way? God’s will is defined as the actions taken or words spoken based on love, selflessness, honesty and purity. Self-will is the...

[I guest write for a singles newsletter from time to time. Here is a recent post] As we enter the month of April, spring is here, bringing along with it a sense of renewal, life, and warmth. Spring brings out something in us that cannot be measured. The newly emerged tree leaves rustle as they...

Lean into God: Take the Helicopter

Deb Bostwick — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 23:47:33 +0000

I guest write for a singles newsletter from time to time. Here is a recent post: I was in the doctor’s office this week and the receptionist had on her wall the following, “In order to kick butt you have to first lift your foot.” I loved this. But what does it have to do...

Alone with God – Literally

Deb Bostwick — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 23:43:11 +0000

I guest write for a singles newsletter from time to time. Here is a recent post: I was the daughter of a single mother who had never been exposed to the church or introduced to God. She searched for meaning, for God, but the one true God remained elusive to her. So, I was raised...
