Monday Morning Musings: A Perspective of Peace

December 7, 2015

Perspective: A particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view. Peace: Freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility. Perspective of peace: A particular attitude or way of regarding circumstances that frees us from disturbance and promotes quiet and tranquility in our souls. (Cindy’s suggested definition. 🙂 ) I write about perspective a lot. I write about … More Monday Morning Musings: A Perspective of Peace

Small

November 8, 2015

Small I feel small So very, very small So very small in this new season So very small in wisdom So very small in understanding So very small in ability Sometimes even so very small in trust But like a small child holding onto her daddy’s hand My hand is held firmly in Yours Yes, … More Small

The Sacred Dance

October 19, 2015

You stretch out Your hand The invitation clear I step out onto the waves and into the dance I lean in close My head upon Your chest And gently You lead me without a word I have no answers I don’t see the way But as I move with You my heart is at rest … More The Sacred Dance

Personal Best

September 28, 2015

I wrote this a few years ago, but I’ve been thinking again lately about how differently we’re all wired. Although God’s love for each of us is the same, that’s pretty much where the similarity ends. I will never be able to achieve anyone else’s “personal best”–or for  that matter meet anyone else’s expectation of … More Personal Best

Simply Follow

September 25, 2015

“One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, ‘Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!’ And they left their … More Simply Follow

To Be Continued . . .

September 14, 2015

Last week the Holy Spirit hijacked my podcast. I felt at the time that it might mean a change for more than just that one week but I really wasn’t sure. I had only started posting weekly podcasts–including resuming the Monday Morning Musings devotionals–ten weeks ago, so switching things up this early in the process … More To Be Continued . . .

Focusing on Addition

September 11, 2015

I just had a bit of an epiphany. I have often said that I struggle with MANY things–but my relationship with God is never one of them. I know He loves me. I know He is with me. I know He is for me. Regardless of my life circumstances. Period. I also know that is not the reality of … More Focusing on Addition

Choose Your Battle

August 21, 2015

No, that’s not a typo. I didn’t mean to say choose your battles. Choose your battle. Choose your battle carefully. Choose your battle wisely. Because the battle isn’t  … Against ungodly governments or legislation Against corrupt leaders and officials Or even against bullies, murderers, and terrorists The battle isn’t … Against that person with whom … More Choose Your Battle

Monday Morning Musings: Wretch or Wonder?

August 17, 2015

A holy hush settled over the entire room. The soft and tender tones of women singing out their sincere love and longing for Jesus filled the atmosphere. It was a taste–just a tiny taste–of heaven on earth. Then it happened. (Oh why does it always happen?) “If you’re struggling with SIN don’t let anything keep you from Jesus. … More Monday Morning Musings: Wretch or Wonder?

Monday Morning Musings: Letting Go of Pain

August 10, 2015

On this week’s podcast “Letting Go of Pain” I share a testimony from my own experience of letting go. I had previously written about this particular story and it was published in an anthology book called God Allows U-Turns back in 2006. Since I’ve never published it here, rather than rewriting it slightly differently, I’m … More Monday Morning Musings: Letting Go of Pain
