There are certain items that can become mingled with or in other items with disastrous results. Imagine if some peanuts are mingled within your meal and you have a peanut allergy. What if it’s not an allergy but a great food dislike — for me, if you put a small amount of cilantro in my … Continue reading Mingled

What They Wanted
I definitely like to eat — a lot. Ever since I was young, food has been a comfort. As I got older, certain foods were more comforting than others. Do you have go-to items for stress relief? For comfort? To escape after a difficult day? For me, coffee is a comfort. Chocolate is a comfort … Continue reading What They Wanted
Hold It All Together
There was a time in life when I was a perfectionist. As I got older, I began giving myself more grace. I realized that I was lacking in many areas and my need to do something perfect went hand-in-hand with my desire for control. In controlling situations with a firm hand, I was able to … Continue reading Hold It All Together
Before You
Most people do not like to go first. I remember in high school, it was occasionally a good thing to volunteer to go first so you could get a little extra grace from your teacher when it comes to grading. Usually most people would hide in fear. Uncertain territory is not fun, at least not … Continue reading Before You
Small and Great Alike
In today’s verse, we read about the small and great alike. Deuteronomy 1:17 says, “Do not show partiality when deciding a case; listen to small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it” (CSB). This verse … Continue reading Small and Great Alike
Anything That Moves My Heart
In Philippians 4, we are reminded of the importance of focus. The Bible tells us: “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things” (v. 8 NASB). … Continue reading Anything That Moves My Heart
Everyone Everywhere
Psalm 100:1 says, “Lift up a great shout of joy to the Lord! Go ahead and do it—everyone, everywhere!” (TPT). Other translations say it this way: praise the Lord all the earth or praise the Lord all the lands. How will everyone everywhere praise the Lord? How will all the earth, all the lands, praise … Continue reading Everyone Everywhere
Seeds of Joy
Yesterday, we looked at how God “sows seeds of light within His lovers.” We looked at what it means to be a lover of God and the promise of revelation and guidance from God. Today, we will look at the “seeds of joy (which) burst forth for the lovers of God.” The verse notes that … Continue reading Seeds of Joy
Seeds of Light
Today’s verse begins by stating that God sows seeds of light on righteous people. This verse is a great reminder that if we obey the Lord, the light will be sown. He reveals to us the way to press forward. He reveals to us His deep and hidden mysteries (Ephesians 1:9, Colossians 1:26). He reveals … Continue reading Seeds of Light
Overwhelmed
Today’s big question — are you overwhelmed? I have been overwhelmed a lot, especially this past year. I wish there was some real life Vitameatavegamin available. If you don’t know about this amazing product, it appears in one of my favorite television shows, I Love Lucy, in my all-time favorite episode of the show. Lucy … Continue reading Overwhelmed
