If, or really I should say when, we become entangled which will happen because we are human and the Bible tells us we become easily entangled. But God! Thankfully God will provide us with the tools, patience, and determination we need to become untangled if we ask Him and if we are willing to do …
Entangled.
I recently ordered a new bathing suit, a bottom and a tankini top. As I was trying it on the other day, I felt entangled by the top. Even though I ordered my normal size, the Lycra was so tight and the inside well I’ll just say it was complicated. The whole experience of trying …
Guiding Scriptures
I love God’s Word. I love reading scripture and discovering new Truths in scripture. I love being encouraged by God’s Word and claiming it as my own. I do not like to say I have a favorite verse because so many of them have guided me at different times in my story. I cling to …
It is good.
I one time heard a sermon on, or maybe a podcast about, how in Genesis 1 God creates and then He says, “It is good.” “Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!” Genesis 1:31 NLT In the beginning, God declared us good. We should start our …
Open heart.
Yesterday I shared how I have been thinking and practicing living with an open-handed mindset. Accepting what is, with open hands able to give and receive whatever comes. I also think we must cultivate an open-heart. An open-heart to love and to life and to possibilities. We seem to think it is much easier to …

For example, I’m still thinking about a devotional from February 16 from the devotional Beloved…. “Fear is the great enemy …
God is with us. He never changes.
God is with us! With us in all our emotions, in our fears, doubts, overwhelm, challenges, conversations, as well as our joys, celebrations, and fun. There is an ebb and flow to all of life. Practicing awareness of God with me in all things is so helpful for me. Practicing awareness that God never changes. …
JESUS LOVES YOU.
"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 "God is for you! Not 'may be,' not 'has been,' not 'was,' not 'would be,' but 'God is!' Can your purpose be taken or your value be diminished? No. No one can defeat …
St. Patrick.
I like St. Patrick’s Day so much. My boys might even tell you it’s my favorite holiday. But maybe not for the reason you may think. St. Patrick was a man who embodied faith, hope, and love. Ten or eleven years ago I read the children’s biography Life of St. Patrick and it changed the …
