    I want to be as persistent in writing as God is teaching me to bein prayer.  So post is coming at you a little later this week due to a several-day excursion to Spokane, Washington for my daughter’s volleyball tournament.  But I haven’t stopped writing.  In fact, I’ve got a devotional up at devoteableapp.com today on prayer.

     

    Building on the lessons I learned on vacation over spring break,

    God is showing me that I need to shake up my prayer life in many areas.

    “Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him.  As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”  Hosea 6:3 NIV

     

    A month ago, my preacher taught on the importance of rest and refreshment.  I paid attention and took notes observing the Sabbath.  I even jotted down a reference to a story he told about a bird named chippy.  To save my life I can not remember what that story was.  The sermon didn’t really resonate with me, but I’m so glad I recorded the scripture references to go back to because it resonates in a major way with me now.  Read More “Rest and Refreshment in the Lord”

I love Jesus, my husband and caffeine. The order of these can change depending on how tired I am. When my two daughters, stepson, and 4 grandchildren get to be too much, I practice yoga. God graciously allows me to share our adventures, victories and flub-ups from my laptop. May He be glorified here. Read More
