I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. Psalms 119:10 For a week I searched for my toothpaste. When my husband, Steve, was in the hospital, I packed a small bag with make-up, toothbrushes, and other toiletries for the two of us. Somehow the toothpaste disappeared. I searched … Continue reading SEEK GOD FIRST

Like Jonah, I have spent a good bit of time in the belly of the whale. I understand what made Jonah run from God’s plan for his life, but I have also learned the joy of obedience. No experience compares to the time I spent running from God calling me to write, but many blessings have followed since I yielded to His will. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” God doesn’t expect us to be perfect, just willing! My days are filled with spending as much time as possible with my family, teaching middle school, playing piano for worship services, teaching a ladies’ Bible study, writing devotionals, and making homemade cinnamon rolls when I have the energy.

In her quest for adventure, she was hit by a car. We had no idea when or where it happened, but … Continue reading HEAD TO THE PORCH
BREAKFAST PLAN
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 Several months ago as I was in a drive-thru, God impressed on me that He wanted me to buy the meal for the car … Continue reading BREAKFAST PLAN
