The Fridays of my life

-
Ever measure your life by days, weeks, months or years? I counted empty Fridays of my life. Remember the TV show Dallas? I measured my life by how many shows I watched each week!
I lived in silent desperation because I was missing something. Those were empty Fridays before I saw the Hand of Jesus that day in May of 2006.
How my Fridays have changed!

The day after September 11

-
After 9/11, don't you feel thankful to be alive and to get to do the things you do? I do. It's such a tough and heart-wrenching remembrance. Yesterday I was finally able to watch what happened. I was never able to for 15 years. I spent the day thinking about those lost and praying for those left behind and those suffering PTSD from the experience.  Then I had to honor those who continue to be killed needlessly in our world whether in our own backyards or across the planet. Grateful that the Lord is in control otherwise it doesn't make sense.  Days like today make me grateful for everyone and all things in my life. So if I haven't told you lately, I love you - I do.  Ecclesiastes 3:9-11 What good comes to anyone who works so hard, all to gain a few possessions? I have seen the kinds of tasks God has given each of us to do to keep one busy, and I know God has made everything beautiful for its time. God has also placed in our minds a sense of eternity; we look back on the ...

The top 10 things I know about God - Psalm 118:14

-
April 30, 2011 Psalm 118:14 The LORD is my strength and my song. He is my savior. On May 2, 2011 I celebrate five years since the Lord changed my life. As I look back, I realize that these have been the most on-purpose and fulfilling years of my existence. I will be recording the journey in a detailed way so that I will always remember the things God has done for my family, but I want to share the following things that I know for sure. 1. I am not the person I was 2. I have unshakable peace through storms 3. God is real; God is personal 4. God wants to know our hearts and he wants to share his heart with us, consequently Bible study and sharing with believers is vital 5. God eases us into the journey with him 6. If we are serious about passionately serving him, God will make radical changes in us – it’s called sanctification and it’s not easy 7. God will clean up the hurts of our lives so we can be effective in representing him 8. Expect conflict, your own sin ...

March the time away

My Word for 2014 – DO! One quarter of 2014 is history. Three months arrived, unfolded and ended. Poof. Gone. Time continues. March has been a challenge. It was sad. Death marched in. I said good-bye to two people who touched my life in deep and meaningful ways. Two lives ended in very different ways. One death rocked my world. Death arrived in a shocking way. Death took another life too soon. Heartbreaking. Death is no respecter of time regardless of circumstance. It’s good to love well and be in important moments. I spent the month writing, reading and attending classes to enhance my compassion skills.  I attended worship services in order to share Communion in community. I do like it. I spent quality time ministering to the ill.  I've  learned much about how much I don’t understand when it comes to doing God’s will. I also know that I get to do sacred work for God, and that amazes me.  My life changed from one...
