Highlighting God's Presence to Inspire Your Life!
The month of November has yielded blessing galore for me as the NICU has finally needed some help loving and holding those little ones after a dry spell since July!
There have also been two weeks of “hopping” times when they have brought babies over from labor and delivery when I was present. Times when I start praying for those little ones and their families, the babies being in critical condition as the nurses and Drs. try to get them stabilized. Continue reading “MOVING IN”
A rather interesting quote that caught my eye that is worth reflecting on. There are different ways of interpreting this quote depending on what your main focus is and how you look at it, so I’ll give my interpretation of what it means to me personally. Continue reading “SPREADING LIGHT”
The name “1Act” was really the name of a short video from Compassion International, a child sponsorship program, that was shared at a recent Christian artist concert of Dave Pettigrew & Unspoken that I attended.

With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us soon, we so often turn our thoughts toward all we have to be thankful for; especially during the month of November.
That is admirable but isn’t it even better if
each day,
each moment of each day,
we keep forefront in our minds all we have to be thankful for? Continue reading “THANKSGIVING”
A few simple words, though heartfelt, that I texted a friend of mine this week. I was describing what I saw in her daughter’s life as well as in my friend’s life.
Faith in action is something we are called to do daily, right? To not just KNOW about God’s word or just hear it only, but to put flesh and blood to that knowledge and faith by taking action; to find ways to live out that faith each and every day. Continue reading “FAITH IN ACTION”
Reading a book entitled “Praying for Strangers” that a friend gave me for my birthday recently and attending a luncheon that included a talk on “Live a Life of Kindness” are inspiration for these thoughts this week. I won’t mention that the luncheon was really a “seniors” luncheon because we all know I’m only 23; they were kind and made an exception for me! 😉
Both events were blessings in my life which I feel are wonderful ways to live our lives on this earth day by day.
As you think about your faith journey have you experienced some seasons of waiting?
Waiting for the Lord to act or direct in some way, waiting for something to happen before you could take the next step in your life?
Was it a season of waiting….
…for the Lord to open doors for a ministry
…for healing a broken relationship
…for a prodigal’s return
…for chains of addiction to be broken
…for physical healing in your body
…for the Lord to bring your life partner into your life? Continue reading “IN THE WAITING”
One of my happy places is time away from the hustle and bustle of life, the routine of the everyday, and soaking up the beauty of the ocean and beach.
Yes, I know God’s Presence is always everywhere! He can be found all around us, in each one of us, and in all of nature!
Seeing and feeling God’s Presence at the ocean waters and beach is more intense for me which is always a blessing and special time. A time that surrounds me in God’s love and peace.

A mishap from 2019 that landed me with a fractured right radial head (translation: broken elbow) humbled me and taught me a few more life lessons that I think are useful for all of us to keep in mind.
First, a little background. My husband and I were in Lancaster, PA to attend the “Jesus” show at the beautiful Sight and Sound Theater. What wonderful musical productions they put on every year with amazing technical effects and live animals to enhance the power of the show. Thankfully we went there on a Saturday, stayed overnight and had our “activity” on Sunday.
The activity was a 2 1/2 – 3 hr covered bridge tour riding a scooter (moped.) In case you did not know, I am not so coordinated at some physical activities. A few years ago I did eventually master riding a segway after some extra practice and training. Continue reading “RELIANCE ON OTHERS”
My friend and I, being at the beach recently and walking along the shore, couldn’t help but be reminded of the “Footprints in the Sand” poem that I believe we are all familiar with.
That writing reminds us how God is always with us even carrying us especially during the rough, tougher times in our lives.
