This is often on my mind. I sometimes ask many things of God, and then nothing. Complete silence. It’s maddening at times. What I am learning when I can take a step back and think about that is that it’s not that God is silent or didn’t answer me, He just didn’t do it right… Continue reading Are you asking big questions? Are you getting answers?

Wherever you go, I shall go…
Does the title make you want to sing out loud or are you thinking of the book of Ruth in the Bible? Well, the song comes from Ruth. I may go as far as to say that song is the soundtrack of a few years in my late 20’s when I was busy on a… Continue reading Wherever you go, I shall go…

In any season of my life I can be grateful for something. It seems like the readings I have heard lately have centered on God working in people’s lives.

I don’t think it’s a secret that I love butterflies. They are beautiful creatures and it’s delightful when they fly by. They seem to be everywhere lately.

Have you noticed that… Continue reading Are you feeling more like a butterfly or a caterpillar?

How well do you hold your peace?
See? My mind is full of ‘loaded’ questions this week. Maybe the question is “How do you hold your peace when the world around you is chaotic?”.

Do you know where you are going?
Yep. This is a loaded question, on soooo many levels. If we are talking direction-wise, I have a decent sense of direction.

I may… Continue reading Do you know where you are going?
What kinds of seeds are you sowing?
Lots of things are growing outside in this season. In my front flowerbed, there are flowers, and if I went out on my back porch, I can see the veggies that my neighbors have planted.
