CHANGE THE WORLD

As I was attempting to get to my computer and start penning these thoughts that have been in the back of my mind for almost two months now, I saw this question that fits perfectly in my humble opinion….

EVERYTHING CHANGES

“Everything changes…Nothing stays the same.”

 

That quote is something that my mother frequently says yet something I have always wrestled with kind of disagreeing with it. I will admit just recently, much as I dislike it, I have conceded that indeed that is truth and it is okay. Continue reading “EVERYTHING CHANGES”

THE OCEAN REMINDER

As I was peering into the lovely blue/green water with the soft, white sand beneath my feet recently at a beach, it took me a few days to observe that every now and then a few fish would be swimming by my legs! They never brushed against me so I did not realize they were right there.

The day I finally noticed it, first a yellow and black striped fish swam by and then two sun fish. Later in the week there were schools of fish finding their way in the water. The thought of those fish being there intrigued me to think more about God and His infinite vastness.

THE MOUNTAIN TOP

My dear readers~

Welcome to my 200th post this week!  I think it quite fitting that “The Mountain Top” is the inspiration for this milestone.  A special thank you for reading, your ongoing support and encouragement as I continue to express weekly what is in my heart sharing about our great God!

 

This summer afforded me the surprise opportunity of having a true mountain top experience, (pun intended, as you will see) which granted me a glimpse of what a slice of heaven on earth is like!

 

Yes, it was the first time in my life, that for a solid week, I was treated like royalty by every person that was part of the Wind River Ranch ministry family making me feel special, loved and valued! Continue reading “THE MOUNTAIN TOP”

THE MIGHTY MOUNTAINS

Gazing upon the mighty mountains recently in Estes Park, CO while at a Christian dude ranch for a week, was truly a breathtaking, captivating sight. Yes, the sight was like a little piece of heaven on earth~and just as powerful as a sunset on the ocean waters equating, for me personally, a third holy place in my life. Continue reading “THE MIGHTY MOUNTAINS”

F.A.I.R.

How many times do we dwell on or complain about the “unfair” things that we see happening in our lives…whether big or little instances?

Why is it that we think everything should be “fair” with only good things occurring?

Have you ever viewed that these “unfair” things might actually be teaching us something greater?  Maybe they are part of a divine plan.

 

My sharing this week is a result of being inspired through another sermon that I recently heard. May you, too, be inspired through the thoughts shared here…. Continue reading “F.A.I.R.”

IN THE SILENCE

There seemed to be a lot of hustle and bustle all around as I was meeting a friend at Dunkin donuts on National Donut day.   I stepped to the far side, glancing at my phone, while waiting for my order to be prepared.

 

I heard the cashier greet the next customer with the usual, “Hello~What can I get for you today?”

It was kind of strange that suddenly it seemed that everything seemed quieter and I noticed there was no usual audible response; instead there was just deafening silence.  Glancing at the customer, I pieced together that he was mute. Continue reading “IN THE SILENCE”

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.
