ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME

Attending a local women’s worship conference recently sparked a memory that I thought was worthy of sharing with you this week.  As I find so often in my life, God’s perfect timing to even hear about this conference two days before it was scheduled via our Christian radio station and realizing my schedule would permit me to attend, sure blessed me big time!

 

I did attempt to ask one friend if she was free to attend with me but she was not, so off I went solo, which is always fine with me too.  The people were very friendly and welcoming and at the beginning of the second day of the event, a lady came over and started talking to me.  It was cool to find out that she too, did not know anyone there but decided to participate anyway.  As we conversed and sat together at lunch, I learned that she actually knows of a friend of mine that lives in the same development as her.  In fact they exercise together though they never really conversed up to this point.  I wonder if they might now since they know a mutual person…me!  🙂

 

At this conference, there were a few different speakers you could pick from to listen to.  I stuck with the main guest speaker, Lynn Cowell, who is a part of the Proverbs 31 ministry for any readers out there who might be familiar with it.  I had not really known about the organization,  but have since signed up for a wonderful daily devotional they share weekdays.

THE POWER OF THREES

Listening to a sermon recently inspired me to do more research into something that I found quite interesting so I decided to go ahead and share it with you this week.

Have you ever noticed how often “3’s” are encountered in the Bible? Continue reading “THE POWER OF THREES”

A PURPOSEFUL LIFE

Amidst the hustle and bustle of this life with all the commitments that we get involved in, do you ever get philosophical and reflect on what this life is all about?

Let us explore and think about three main topics to maybe help us understand this life a little better.

A HEARTFELT NOTE

This Mother’s Day has to be my most special one to date…yes, after 25 years of being a mother!

 

You ask what made it so special?

One thing is that it provided me with some thoughts to share with you this week!  Continue reading “A HEARTFELT NOTE”

I HAVE OVERCOME

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”  –John 15:18 (NIV)
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”  –John 16:33 (NASB)

 

What a powerful thought that I have pondered the last few weeks……

I have overcome the world. Continue reading “I HAVE OVERCOME”

THE SYMPHONY OF LIFE

 

 

 

Saturday was another bittersweet day; the end of another era.

It was the final Wind Symphony Concert for my undergraduate college gifted music major as she is a Senior this year and will be an official graduate in less than a month.

As I sat listening to the symphony perform this time, my thoughts were pondering how playing in a symphony can be symbolic of our relationship with the Lord!

OPPORTUNITY CLOCK

 

It is an interesting term that I have pondered the last week or so after hearing it while conversing over lunch with a gal that I went to high school with.  I am in awe of God bringing us together after more than a quarter century…we’ll just leave it at that!  😉 Continue reading “OPPORTUNITY CLOCK”

JESUS MEETS US

“I think the Holy Spirit has different signs for all of us.” 

 

 

It was a simple sentence from a friend that resonated with me especially with hearing a sermon, two days later, that I think further expounds on the statement.  Continue reading “JESUS MEETS US”

YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND

This past week I was helping my music major college aged daughter study for a quiz. Now let me set the record straight….No, I am not a helicopter mother!

The quiz involves listening to a snippet, starting anywhere from about 10 sec – 3 minutes, of a song.
The students need to write the exact title of the song, artist, genre of music and the year it was written (within a 5 yr window.)

CARRY MY CROSS

Good Friday this year afforded me the opportunity to participate in something that I have never done before…

 

….A “Witness Walk.”

 

This Witness Walk involved the participants walking in procession behind a big, heavy, 40 lb wooden cross, carried by two people at a time, through the streets of a neighboring town, past houses and several businesses, commemorating Jesus’ Passion as He journeyed from Jerusalem to Calvary.  Continue reading “CARRY MY CROSS”
