  • Seize the Day!

    Today I come humbly before you asking for your prayers for my family. I just retired and now have to bury my oldest son. As of this moment, retirement is bittersweet. He was 37 years old and died of a heart attack. This post is entitled Seize the Day because all we really have is…

  • Wednesdays Wonder

    Today I just thought I would just share a part of my journey in this retirement transition. I love taking my own photos for this blog. This picture I finally captured in trying to get the depth of field right. Been on the training and working with my camera a good portion of the day.…

  • Have a Grateful Heart

    Have a Grateful Heart

    Gratitude is important to God. Getting up with a grateful heart sets my mind that no matter what happens, there is something to be grateful for. Just the thought of the goodness of God, brings a spirit of gratitude. I didn’t have to be here today. Reflection of the many times that the enemy tried…

  • Trees…Growing in Grace

    On Wednesday last week on my way to work, I read John 17. This chapter of John talks about Jesus. He prayed for all of us believers before we ever came to be. I appreciated that. I looked around me at the trees. I found my source of inspiration. On the block walking to work,…

  • Processing the Journey

    Processing our journey. Enjoy the process. What do those things really mean? As I have pondered the discussion of this topic, I do concede that I do not have all the answers. Barely any of them. But I will share what I have concluded from my own journey. Processing to me means evaluating the events…

  • Hope

    On my way to work early one morning, I captured this picture of the rising sun. When I have moments like these, I am moved. I recognize that God created this moment just to bless me. Hope is the foundation of moving through all the fires, challenges, disappointments, betrayals, losses, griefs and every other emotional…

  • God’s Handprint

    Thought I would share this image I took walking to the bus stop going to work on September 18th at 6:38 am. I walked outside and saw this beautiful picture of the sun as soon as I walked outside. I immediately took the picture. There are times when I feel like I want to go…

  • Trusting God Now – Really?

    Yes, really. While pondering trust this week, it is apparent that many people may not want to trust God right now. How could He allow this to happen? I can understand this thought process. However, at this time, God is the only one you can trust. Psalm 20:7 – “Some trust in chariots and some…

  • Gratitude

    Gratitude is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. This is synonymous with respect; acknowledgment; indebtedness which is a sense of obligation and appreciation; recognition; regard. The importance of this definition and these synonyms is understanding. It is all about our perspective of God and why He asks…

  • Triple O

    Omnipotent, all-powerful. God is the creator of the universe contrary to popular beliefs. As described in Psalm 74:13-17, He is the master of all. There is nothing that God cannot do. Yet, as powerful as He is, He won’t force Himself into our lives. We must let Him in and give Him the control. He…

  • God’s Faithfulness

    Deuteronomy 32:4 – “He is the Rock,” His works are perfect,” and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.” When we consider God’s faithfulness, what is it that we think about? Do we assume that means no sorrow, no pain, no trials, or discomfort? It…

  • Still Committed, Faithful

    Expounding on the post regarding being committed, it would serve us well to look at our standard for commitment. God. He is committed, faithful to us. There are Scriptures, of course, that speak to this characteristic of God. In order to become wise about commitment, let us go the Scriptures. God loved us so much…

  • Committed

    Devoted, faithful…. Today, this post is about being committed. What are you committed to, voluntarily or involuntarily? It can be supposed that you are in complete control of what you are committed to. However, after doing some research, I find that you may be involuntarily committed to things you don’t want to be committed to.…

  • Pray, Pray and Keep on Praying

    I was reading my post “Welcome 2020” again. Who knew? Wow, this year has brought some major stuff our way. From the pandemic, the injustice to people of color, the anger leading to destruction and who knows what else. There are times when the only thing I can say is “Jesus help us. We need…

  • He’s got my attention

    Started writing the day before yesterday. Of course, I scheduled to come home, get to work to make sure this post was done. And yes, of course, something came up. But, here I am. I have been quiet because it’s been chaotic and a bit crazy the last couple of months. There’s been so much…
