So, in an earlier part of my life part of my work was to go to conferences to promote the ministry my sweetie and I worked with. When I first started going it was particularly challenging because my personal preference would be to blend into the nearest wall, becoming invisible, unseen. This wasn't about me … Continue reading Have I ever shared

Where are you leading?
I read this post by Mary deTurris Poust on her blog Not Strictly Spiritual Friday. Something deeply resonated in my heart, particularly after something I said earlier that morning. In some way I wanted to be part of something, a particular group of people. In an effort to not be whiny I'll leave it at that. Mary's … Continue reading Where are you leading?

July 6th is a special day. My Gramma's birthday, were she still living, it'd be her 101st. I miss having Gramma around. Today is also my high school bestie's birthday. Happy Birthday Beth! The other day while at the quilt shop I had the opportunity to talk about different types of friendship with a 10-year-old quilter. She … Continue reading Value
Supply and Demand
Earlier this year I got a new phone. I needed one with more memory as the older one "lost" memory when I had to do a hard reset. I was constantly clearing cache, removing apps, trying to turn off built-in apps. So I purchased a new phone, with more memory giving me room for regular … Continue reading Supply and Demand
Refining, not Defining

The first part of the competition the type of blade is announced, materials shown, and design time given. Each of the contestants are given 15 minutes of design time, then two hours to make the blade. Contestants … Continue reading Refining, not Defining

If today you hear His Voice, harden not your hearts. Hebrews 3. As I started writing this post the verse from Hebrews wiggled its way to the top of the thoughts running through my brain. I took a moment to look it up and then read the chapter the verse is in. The chapter speaks of … Continue reading Did you ever?

A couple of weeks ago I suggested to a couple of friends that we study the book of Job. We each have life experiences that are, without a doubt, very challenging at the moment. We decided to go with 5 Habits of a Woman Who Doesn't Quit through Proverbs 31 Ministries, studying the book of and … Continue reading Wonderment
Examining
The last few days I've had the phrase, "help me feel compassion for you" running through my head. Today, Good Friday, is a great day to dig deeply through the crap that sometimes fills my soul and examine that. The selfish, self-righteous, if only you'd listen to me the world would be perfect, I'm way … Continue reading Examining

The last few days or so I keep hearing The same power that rose Jesus from the Grave The same power that commanded death to wait Lives in Us, Lives in us The same power moves mountains when he speaks The same power that can calm a raging sea Lives in Us, Lives in Us … Continue reading Holy Week
Genesis
The other day I read this post by Sean Kerr, redefining Knights, Princesses and speaking to a Truth that is overlooked in so many societies, and cultures, and people. A way back in Genesis in the creation stories, when God created Adam and Eve there is a built in, inherent equality. God created Eve from … Continue reading Genesis
