If you watch, if you listen…God is there everyday and sometimes He is amazingly loud.

Use Your Gifts and Trust the Process

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 gave his all and paid the ultimate sacrifice, I cannot pass up the opportunity to acknowledge the fallen and to ponder what type…

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 God’s varied grace”. Now think a moment about both these statements.  I don’t think God is just saying to take the gifts that…

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 Valentine’s day, delivery trucks started arriving with huge flower bouquets – mostly roses. Drivers would run from office to office delivering these massive…

When Society Says You are Not Enough, You Are!

[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 😊.) So, here’s to Mother’s Day… Quick background for context: I didn’t marry until 34; at which time I married an alcoholic. We…

It’s Worth the Sacrifice

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 a millionaire? Does he give 100K or more? Does he give a million? And, what of a billionaire? Pastor Larry said something along…

A light dims… and is extinguished.

A friend of mine committed suicide last week. I guess I use the term friend loosely as we had lost touch over the last 20 years. But for the 17 years before that, she was an integral part of my life, my business, and I called her friend. She was one of a few remaining people who not only knew my mom but was in her circle, her community. It’s an odd thing to think about.  My mom…

When God is God – His Will vs. our will

[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 action taken or words spoken with the ego and the determination to have one’s way, to get what is most desired. As we…

Renewal, Hope and Moving Forward

[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 move in the wind for the first time, as the ground under our feet awakens and pushes life out of the earth into…

Lean into God: Take the Helicopter

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 with leaning into God?  Well, here we go. Leaning into God is simply put is the act of relying on God. It’s not…

Alone with God – Literally

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 with no real church influence. I always thought God was real, but I never understood that I could have a personal relationship with…

Are you listening for whispers, hoping for shouts?

Have you heard God speak?  I mean really speak loudly right at you. Ever since becoming a believer, there have been times I thought at best I was only hearing God whisper. And, other times, I was running into God “sightings”, God “messages”, everywhere I turned.  These are the times, I say God is really loud …and sometimes has a bit of a tone! In the most random places and most random circumstances, God would yell at me.  Ok…

Remain in Him x 11

I guest write for a Christian Singles Newsletter from time to time. Here’s a recent post: Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain. Remain.  In John’s Gospel, Chapter 15, Jesus tells us 11 times in only ten verses to “remain” in him. Eleven times. The last couple of weeks, we’ve been writing on the three “Rs of discipleship. First was “Return”, how, despite our best efforts after we’ve turned everything in our lives over to…

Singleness: It’s More than Waiting

I guest write for a Christian Singles Newsletter from time to time. Here’s a recent post: As we look at singleness, we see it as a unique period of unmatched devotion to Christ and ministry to others, even while waiting (or not waiting) for a spouse. It is no secret that many singles struggle with contentment as a single person, as well as, how to deal with feelings of guilt and shame related to your past. There’s a…

Days that Sparkle

There are days. When I was younger I watched for “days that sparkled.” On certain days or nights, there was a sense of magic, of wonder, of awe. They came few and far between but when they hit, I moved as slowly as possible through them so that every second, every moment, every image was captured. Years back, God blessed me with the opportunity to begin a military ministry at my church. I have never been particularly social,…

Mother’s Day 2019

3 Comments
Every Mother’s Day I think about writing about not being a Mother, but then I think, ah it’s been said. Yet deep down, the words start forming, and here you have it. There’s a knock on my soul and I have to write the words and you, my fine friends, are the recipient. I write because I know there’s other women out there that as Mother’s Day approaches feel that longing that was never fulfilled. I spend a…

Jumbled Dreams

1 Comment
I’ve been thinking for a while now and planning to write but it seems something is always in the way of taking the time to just write. I recently heard someone say “my story matters, and so does yours.” But if your story is not shared, how are others to know about the story you are writing? A couple months ago, I decided to join a facebook group for women entrepreneurs. Mostly I was wondering if there might…

When God Speaks

A few years ago, I went to a training program called Driven For Life. I had spent the previous 10 years working in ministry and made the difficult decision to go back into the “real” world, the secular world. I’ve never really thought about it before now but it’s interesting that the secular world was “out there” while we (that’d be I) could remain safe and secure in my Christian bubble. A clear division. While in ministry, “purpose”…

God is God…

Some days we just need to remember that God is God, and we’re not. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9 A good prayer: Lord, help me see Your work in this situation.

MY WHY

I love watching for God. I love seeing where He is moving, who He is working through (including me) and where He is leading. There is something to witness and learn every day. I hope you enjoy my captured thoughts....
