DOORS

In your life, have you ever experienced times when you look back on an event in your life and later see how God closed one door and a new one opened for you?

Personally, I am a person who usually finds it hard to make decisions, especially if it is a bigger, life type decision. Isn’t it hard to know sometimes whether you are making the “right” decision or not? So, it is actually easier if through natural circumstances or events in life that you can see it was really the Lord closing one door and opening another. Continue reading “DOORS”

S.A.F.E.

In this life, it is so vital to reach out and share with others–to show thyself friendly.  Being an introvert, it is a lesson that has taken me a long time to learn.

Growth in our lives and faith can occur more rapidly as we make time to share the Lord working in our lives, specific needs we have, the simple everyday ups and downs, and just as important, our struggles. Continue reading “S.A.F.E.”

Through the years I have enjoyed watching the regular So You Think You Can Dance show. I do enjoy being graced by the talent of the choreographers and the elegance of the dancers even though I am not personally musical or artistic. Continue reading “MENTORS”

LEGACY

We all know that our time on this earth is limited but that doesn’t make it any easier when we face the death of a loved one or special friend, does it?

I shared this experience this past week attending the funeral of a special friend who suffered greatly especially the last few weeks of his life. I was truly blessed to see how his wife took care of him at home so patiently and lovingly, as well as their son who kept vigil 24/7 at his hospital bedside the last six days of his life. It was always an honor to visit them, and they certainly enriched my life by their loving example. Continue reading “LEGACY”

LIVING WATERS

Spending time near bodies of water, like the ocean, always renews my spirit. I see and feel God’s presence in the living waters that He has created and blessed us with.

A week at the beach this summer brought me time to read some inspiring books and time to reflect on…. Continue reading “LIVING WATERS”

UNCHARTED WATERS

Have you ever been fearful of a new beginning in your life?

Has fear or being scared of something ever stopped you from taking a new step in your life?

Maybe it is related to something God is calling you to do but you’re not sure how.

Maybe it is the not knowing what to expect that is difficult.

Maybe you were too scared to take that leap of faith because you didn’t know what you would find.

 

As I was recently traveling home solo from a Third Day concert (my favorite Christian band..in case you didn’t know!) on a ride that took four hours, thoughts of having a traffic delay made me think about uncharted waters in our lives.

The prior day, I was very thankful that I was not going in the opposite direction where there was a little construction but then what seemed like miles and miles of traffic backed up. They were even to the point of a stand still though I am really not sure why.

It was kind of “funny” how another friend of mine happened to text me about something and I mentioned the traffic I had seen the first day. She had actually been traveling the same direction the same day and noticed it as well.

She said maybe I should consider seeking an alternate route.  Because of her saying that, I did end up pulling over on way home when I noticed there was a 20 minute stopped traffic notification on the GPS.  I had just paid a toll so had a good place to pull over to see if there was an alternate route.

I really didn’t think there would be but the GPS said there was though it added 15 minutes to my trip. I figured it was worth it to be able to keep moving instead of coming to a standstill in traffic.

THE BLIND SIDE

Inspiration to help guide our lives can come to us in many different forms—through music, art, photography, people we interact with, writings, books, and even some movies.

Have you read any books or seen any movies that you could really relate to, and they make you want to share them with others because you believed in the message so much? Continue reading “THE BLIND SIDE”
