It’s an interesting time of year, houses are already decked out in Christmas lights- my neighbor even has a Grinch on the porch already! I love Christmas too, but what happened to Thanksgiving? Why are we skipping the fantastic season of pausing to give thanks? I have a LOT of reasons to be grateful, but… Continue reading What are you thankful for this month?

Have you found what you are looking for?
That’s a loaded question for sure. You may be looking for your keys, your phone, your kid’s homework that they swear they have done, or your shoes…lol. Sometimes I spend lots of time looking for things that don’t really matter in the long run- that makes me pretty human. The Bible says ‘seek and you… Continue reading Have you found what you are looking for?
What are you rejoicing about today?
I don’t normally start with the Bible verse- that usually comes at the end, after all my thoughts are out in the universe. This one begins with me reading the Bible quote app the other day and thinking- What have you done already today God? What will I be thankful for later? The version of… Continue reading What are you rejoicing about today?
How do you persevere when it feels like the world is crashing down?
Perseverance is such an interesting topic. I think it comes to mind when we are struggling with life. My world is not crashing down, but I have certainly been in that place, more than once.

Are you distracted when you pray?
I would love to tell you that I pray with single-minded intent and I am always laser focused. You know that’s not true. I’m human and I get distracted!

Do you need to let go of something?
I enjoy being outside, I especially love tromping through the woods this time of year. The trees are turning colors and the leaves are falling gently to the ground.

It’s… Continue reading Do you need to let go of something?
What’s your prayer habit? Do you need a new one?
Do you know how to pray? Your answer is probably yes. You may already have a good habit in place. This topic came up recently in a Bible study, we were discussing prayer habits.

Do you need a little Jesus?
Sure, I need Jesus, but do I need a mini Jesus, and lots of them? Having spent a few years online, there are many surprises about teaching in person again. One day, maybe 3 weeks ago, a mini Jesus appeared on my desk. I was amused, and thought, ok, someone thinks I need Jesus. So… Continue reading Do you need a little Jesus?
Lord, give me the grace to carry the burden.
Life is FULL of challenges. They come in all shapes and sizes, just like people. Everyone carries a different mixed bag of burdens. They could be physical like an illness, job related like stress, a layoff, or needing two jobs to make the ends meet, relational like conflicts with family or friends. Whatever it is,… Continue reading Lord, give me the grace to carry the burden.
How often do you talk to your guardian angel?
Today is the feast of our guardian angels. In truth, I don’t always remember that I have one, but I got to thinking about mine today and all the ways that he (I think about my angel as a he) has helped, guided, or protected me in my life. It’s comforting (or terrifying) to think… Continue reading How often do you talk to your guardian angel?
