What happens when we ask God to show up in our lives? When you are going through something, a family situation, a job change, and illness, do you wonder where God is in the midst of all of that?

Prayer…what’s your favorite?
We start learning prayers as small children, around the dinner table, in church, at school. I often recite them without thinking. It’s like putting on a familiar comfy robe, it’s comforting even if I am not sure why. St. Paul in his writing told us to pray without ceasing. Is that actually possible? In 2008,… Continue reading Prayer…what’s your favorite?

All shall be well…
How this phrase changed my life. I’m sure that you have heard the phrase “All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.” Or in simple terms “All is well”.

Bloom where you are planted.
Are you making the most of where you are right now? Summer is coming to an end (sort of) and I want to say that I have been enjoying my wildflowers in my garden, but this year, they did not grow. At all. I planted sunflowers, and there should have been a wild mix of… Continue reading Bloom where you are planted.
Got hope?
How do you find hope when you feel lost? Hope is an interesting topic. There are many Bible verses and quotes on the topic.
