Hope Does Not Disapoint…A Season of Hope

I thought I’d share something I wrote for my other blog…let me know your thoughts.

“Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives,
everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me
of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.”
Anne De Lenclos

I don’t know what it is about Autumn, October especially, that inspires me so. To [...]

A Continuation on the Subject of Singleness.

I was reading in Elizabeth George’s book, “Loving God With All Your Mind”, this morning. The back cover (and I don’t know who wrote this) says “When we find our thoughts overwhelmed by fear, worry, and depression, it’s dificult to keep our minds focused on truth and joy!” And don’t I know it!  As I’ve [...]

Prodigal Daughter

I just started reading What’s So Amazing About Grace by Philip Yancey. It is a great book so far, exploring the different facets of grace and how it is so easy to lose sight of this incredible gift.
I wanted to relay his take on the prodigal son. This story brings the parable a little closer [...]

Pride Go’eth Before A Fall…

My internet connection has been fouling up this past week; so my apologies for another tardy post.

Hearing God When He Speaks: A Simple Relationship and a Humble Approach

“Our ability to hear God’s voice begins when we reverence Him through simple obedience. That is the basis of the childlike relationship He desires with you and me. Knowing God is not enough; we must fear and obey Him.

Do you want to hear God’s voice? Then you must become like a child, for when the [...]

Life Choices; Happiness or Depression.

I thought I would post part two of “Hearing God When He Speaks” today, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to look further into that topic. So I started to think what else I could share, and I was reminded of something that happened today.
I was excited, beyond words, by a very [...]

Hearing God When He Speaks: Part One

‘I believe that Scripture tells us how we can prepare ourselves to hear what God wants to say specifically to us. Please don’t misunderstand. This isn’t just some pie-in-the-sky religious issue. It’s down-to-earth and intensely practical. When I began my study, the demands of life were threatening to overwhelm me. With a husband, two [...]
