Are there days where you suffer from heart attack? When your attitudes and actions turn to self, rather than God and others? *heavy sigh* I admit, it happens to me. A prayer I have prayed since I was a child, when compared to the condition of my heart on some days recently gave me clear understanding of right thinking vs. wrong thinking. Join me over at MomLife Today and learn more about my heart attack condition. … [Read more...]
Mom Disappears!?
I want to disappear. Do you have days like that? Oh how glorious it would be if the skies would part and Jesus would appear and then I could disappear. The constant praise of Him could begin. I find myself longing for that more and more. Is that promise of being reunited with my Savior the source of the longing in my heart on this day (and several others) to disappear? I have spent the last three weeks caring for my husband as he … [Read more...]

Pushing Jesus Out Of The Way
Don't let the ordinary seem so important that it pushes Jesus out of the way. That’ll make you stop and think, huh? That is what greets me daily from the front of my refrigerator. I heard that phrase about a dozen years ago, put it on a piece of paper and have attempted to hold it in my heart daily since then. That tattered piece of paper has been moved from fridge to fridge as we’ve traveled across three states. Obviously this is a life … [Read more...]
Safely Ignored
Alone in a crowd. Have you been there? I go there. Far too often. The bashful ten year old girl. She is still such a part of me. Quiet observation is so much easier. Safely hidden. Less messy. Eyes lifted. Disobedient. Silent whisper. Salt and light requires bravery. Holy boldness. No spirit of fear. Power. Love. Self-control. He taught us to reach out in love. It’s not about me. Or my … [Read more...]
From Ugly To Holy
I was fuming. Smoke emitting from my ears. Teeth clinched. Eyes narrowed. I have confessed that I can be “ugly” – well, ugly was rearing its...ugly head. (There’s no better way to say that.) Allow me to assure you that if I were a two year old I would have stomped through the family room, thrown myself on the floor and had myself a little on the spot hissy fit. And no, I am not talking about something that occurred “recently” I am … [Read more...]
