    Intentional Aging

    June 20, 2023 - By 

    If I had to choose one age I still see myself at it would be 40. So much happened in that year. I had to learn to live life differently that year. I had to learn to lean heavily into my Creator because He took the vessel that ushered me into this world away from me. I couldn’t lean on her anymore. That year showed me some weaknesses and some strengths about myself. I have aged since that year. There are still days I desperately want my mama. But in those times, I remember that One who will never leave…

    God’s thoughts don’t wander

    January 5, 2023 - By 

    “What is man that You magnify him, And that You are concerned about him, That You examine him every morning And try him every moment? Will You never turn Your gaze away from me, Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?”‭‭Job‬ ‭7‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬https://bible.com/bible/100/job.7.17-19.NASB1995 God’s attention is always on His children. It never stops. He never gets distracted. His concern never goes away. My attention, on the other hand, is easily interrupted. Even as I click keys, the slightest distraction grabs my thoughts away from the matter in front of me. I wonder if Paul had the same problem?…

    Sunday Morning

    June 5, 2022 - By 

    Sunday morning. Mind, heart, body prepares for the clock to hit its mark. Think backwards to know what needs to be done when in order to be in the pew on time. You already know if it is your habit to attend a worship service. You already know what time you need to be up and showered and dressed and in the car and in the parking lot and when the music will usher in a time of worship. You know if you live it every week for years and years. Your heart starts longing for that time. Not to…

    Praise Him

    April 27, 2022 - By 

    Lyrics from a song immediately enter my mind from last night.  It is on repeat in my head. All my words fall short I got nothing new How could I express All my gratitude? Like the words of Mary, in praise. “For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name. Luke 1:49 Repeating the recognition of Who He IS. So I throw up my hands And praise You again and again ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah And I know it’s not much But I’ve nothing else fit for a king…

    Radical Change

    April 23, 2022 - By 

    For in the eighth year of his reign while he was still a youth, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, the carved images and the molten images.  2 Chronicles 34:3 So young to be thrust into leadership. Josiah was born into royalty. He became king at the tender age of eight. But it wasn’t all fragrant roses; more thorns. God used his young mind and heart to change some things. A fresh perspective was needed. In seeking God,…

    Purpose

    April 19, 2022 - By 

    “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.  Isaiah 55:10-11 Obedience is inherent in nature. The sun rises at the appointed time. It also sets right on time. Flowers bloom and wither. All accomplishing what God desires.…
