So this morning as I continued in my personal study (reading through the Psalms and Proverbs), I read Proverbs 13. This is the third time I have read this chapter so far this year, and I have to say that God always seems to draw new things to my attention. This morning He brought an important truth to the forefront. … Read More

A Life Lesson
I was reading Luke 12:22-34 this morning, and I came away with some bullet points. Don’t worry about temporal things. Be giving; it fills your eternal money belt. The location of your treasure tattles on your heart. God has a way of using multiple sources to teach us lessons we need to learn. One such source was a devotional I … Read More
Wants…Needs…and a big fat OUCH!
So, I was driving along in the car yesterday, listening to K-Love. As is usually the case, my mind wasn’t following any particular train of thought…well, honestly, my mind was all over the place…LOL. Sometimes my thoughts move from topic to topic so fast I find it hard to keep up! LOL Anyway, as I was “kinda” listening to the … Read More
Sunshine and Snowflakes
I was sitting at my kitchen table ready to dive into God’s Word, when He decided to use sunshine and snowflakes to teach me a lesson about myself and my purpose. Two main things popped into my mind. Every snowflake is UNIQUELY DESIGNED by God, and so am I. “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in … Read More
Skiing and Spiritual Growth
Ok, with that title you’re probably thinking I’ve finally lost it (haha), but bear with me and hopefully this will make sense to you. Stretch your mind with me as I draw an analogy between skiing and the Christian life.

Psalm 139:1 — God searches me.
“You have searched me, Lord and you know me.” (Psalm 139:1) When I read this verse this morning, the word “searched” popped off the page to me. So in true “word-nerd” form, I looked it up. “Searched” in Hebrew is <chaqar> and means: to penetrate, hence to examine intimately. I looked up “searched” in the dictionary as well, and one … Read More
Ka-POW!
My “wow!” this morning. So I’ve been studying, meditating on and journaling on Philippians 1:20. “According to my eager expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.” The phrase “with all boldness, Christ … Read More
Do You See Him?

Teach Us to Number our Days
“Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” ~~Psalm 90:11-12~~ Having had a birthday recently, the phrase “teach us to number our days” really popped off the page to me. It got me wondering how … Read More
