Read Psalm 86. God is amazing. There are many days when I look around and I am caught up in the beauty of everything around me. Yes, often we can drift away from seeing the beauty, and we notice the things of the world that are broken. We see the trash blowing down the highway. … Continue reading Creator of All

My Helper
Read Psalm 86. My life verse is Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (ESV). I cannot tell you how many times I was feeling like my head … Continue reading My Helper
Fear or Despise
Life gives us the option of two paths—the right path and the wrong path. The path we take says a lot about our journey in life. In today’s verse, we read that the people who fear the LORD take the right path. The people who despise God take the wrong path. To fear God means … Continue reading Fear or Despise
Handmade Intimacy
There is something special about handmade items. I have handmade scarves I received as gifts. I treasure them because I know that the person who crafted these pieces carefully selected the yarn, dedicated countless hours of creation, and made it specifically for me. I have paintings displayed in my home—paintings that started as a vision … Continue reading Handmade Intimacy

Redesigned Reality
When I was a little girl, I had a crazy imagination and I had a lot of time to consider my future. I had a complete future dreamed up, with the number of kids, how my husband would be, the job I would have, etc. Some of what I imagined became reality and there was … Continue reading Redesigned Reality
God With You
When considering a change in life, do you consider if you can do it? When you are facing a difficult situation, do you consider if you can do it? From what I have seen, many people consider their own strength. Whatever they are faced with, they consider if they alone can do it. If they … Continue reading God With You
You Never Ask
How many times are you in need of help but you are hesitant to ask someone? Sometimes we go into this mode where we worry about something and need help, but we think it will come without us doing anything. It is almost as if we expect our neighbors to be mind readers when we … Continue reading You Never Ask
