May Your Will be Done

When God reveals His plan for you, how committed are you to completing His plan?  What if it is the hardest thing He has ever asked of you? Luke 22:39-44 (NIV) “Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. On reaching the place, he said to them, ‘Pray […]

I Need to be in My Father’s House

Have you ever been questioned by someone about why you do what you do?  If so, what is your answer?  I would like to hope that my answer is: ‘I am here to do God’s will.’  As Jesus said, “‘For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the […]

Hanging On and Holding On

When my boys were young, God gave me Psalm 91.  I love that God promises that He will save us from the fowler’s snare, be our refuge and that we do not have to fear.  But I couldn’t let go of them and give them to the One Who could fulfill those promises.  I didn’t […]

Ponder These Things in Your Heart

Recently, I spent a weekend on a women’s silent retreat.  I thought it would be difficult to actually be around friends, eat with them, sing with them, and pray with them and keep quiet all the time!  It wasn’t difficult and it was one of the best times I ever spent with God.  We were […]

These Coronavirus Days

This time in history will be remembered as the COVID-19 pandemic.  A virus which affected the world and its economies.  Before this time in our lives, I knew of other plagues throughout history… and always thought in terms of death of 100’s of thousands… now I wonder how did the economies recover?  How did the […]
