Let Your Light Shine
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 Every week I put up a new Bible verse to consider and ponder. No matter what is going on in life, the verses always seem incredibly appropriate […]
He Restores Your Soul
Psalm 23 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. It is full of reminders of God’s protection, love and faithfulness. I especially love the verse that reminds us that He restores your soul. What a gift, when the world has gone crazy and we are pulled in too many directions, to know that […]

Different people have different skills. Some people use a screwdriver like it is an extension of their arm. They zip in […]
Waiting on the Rain
While my parents are out of state I am helping water the outdoor plants. Any other day the rain doesn’t really matter to me. True, I try to schedule my errands around it, but it doesn’t make or break my plans. But this evening as I stepped outside and noticed the clouds rolling in and […]
Can You Imagine?
Can you imagine what God has in store for you? Can you imagine all the incredible ways He will show up and bring things together in remarkable ways? The Role God Plays What role does God play in your life? Is He someone you talk to throughout the day or only when things get tough? […]
The Art of Tidying Up
The art of tidying up is valuable. It can take you from chaos to order, disaster to a clear picture. Many people live with disorder – they don’t know how to get things organized. But instead of choosing to live with it, what if we chose the art of tidying up? Start Small But Deliberately […]
