“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future” *God has plans for us *He plans to prosper us. He will provide *He does not plan to harm us (me) *He plans to give us [...]
I still love you. More than the day we said “I do” This road has wound with curves we did not see. The path has brought hurt and fear. Doubts and tears press their way to the top of my mind. Do I love you? Are you the one? Of course you are. No matter [...]
Today in the Beth Moore book I read this verse–what a blessing to know God disciplines and yet completely loves. Psalm 89:31-33 If they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands, I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging; but I will not take my love from him, nor [...]
I wrote about my “Mary/Martha” struggle earlier. This past week was rough. I have been near tears quite often. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m tired, or unsure or not knowing what is going to happen. On Sunday, I was getting ready for church feeling very much as though I didn’t want to go. [...]

Isaiah 54:11-13 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, [and] not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children [shall be] taught of the [...]
I have been facing a serious case of Mary & Martha this week. When Jesus didn’t move fast enough to save Lazerus, they let him know they were not amused. I have been struggling a lot these past couple weeks. More than I have been for a long time. This week, I was feeling like [...]
