Read Hebrews 4:1-11. We have a promised rest — a promise to enter God’s rest. What a wonderful promise! On the seventh day, God rested from all of His works. He wasn’t tired. He didn’t need to rest. He displayed for us the beauty of this gift of rest, this rest that He offers us. … Continue reading Promise of Rest

Weeds on My Leg
My neighbor always lets his weeds get 2-3 feet high. Sometimes as I am navigating down the footpath, a weed will rub against my leg and I jump in the air and quickly look down to make sure I’m safe. In my mind, I know that he never addresses the weeds. But even still, I … Continue reading Weeds on My Leg
Living with Him
In Psalm 27, David demonstrates why he is known as the man after God’s own heart. The one thing, the ONE THING, that he sought from God above all else is the privilege of living with Him. We don’t read of a grocery list of wants and desires for material things. We don’t read of … Continue reading Living with Him
Restores and Revives
On a Saturday morning, I find myself sleeping in and spending more time in the Word. It is certainly a time of refreshment for me—the sleep and the time with God. We need rest. We need God. Today’s verse speaks about how God restores and revives. The actual word translates to mean restore, refresh, renew, … Continue reading Restores and Revives
Two Leashes
This morning in my pre-coffee daze, I neglected to grab my dual leash for my dogs. Instead, I grabbed them each their separate personal leashes and got them ready for their morning walk.

Deeply Written
When I want to save something to remember, I will write things on my hands or take photos with my phone. As well, I am a frequent user of sticky notes on my computer. Doing these things keeps me on track to remember what needs to be remembered. The Bible speaks a lot about remembering … Continue reading Deeply Written
Calmed Myself
There are moments in life that certainly cannot be described as calm. Because of my intense energy issues, I invest a lot in an attempt to stay calm. I cannot have a lot of noise and light stimulation due to my diagnosis. I cannot have a lot of sugar or caffeine. Along with the removal … Continue reading Calmed Myself
No Signals
I was driving my son to the dentist when the truck in front of my van suddenly slowed down, but there were no brake lights. As we got to the fork in the road, the turn signal apparently didn’t work either. Without the signals, driving is not as easy. The signals are a way for … Continue reading No Signals
