The last few days I’ve had the song “Way Maker”, by Mandisa, running through my head over and over again. Even after I listened multiple times and posted Josh Groban’s song, “You Raise Me Up” in my last post, I still woke up the next morning with “Way Maker” running through my head. The part… Read More Day 192-Thankful for the Way Maker
The week before schools and colleges began to cancel classes, my daughter was pressing in hard to meet deadlines for the school convention that was supposed to be held last week. This was a stressful time for her and me both. When we heard that the convention was cancelled, while I was disappointed for my… Read More Day 148- Thankful for the gift of health
Where I live, fields of corn, wheat, and soybeans are commonplace. Of course, all winter long the fields have consisted of dead stubble.

No reason to fear, I’m perfectly loved By my Heavenly Father Watching from above.… Read More Perfectly Loved

In Joshua 5:13-15 we see that a man is standing before Joshua with his sword drawn. At… Read More Appearances of God to Man – Breakthroughs
I was thinking about some very difficult trials that I went through about 25 years ago. A short time after my first husband left, suddenly, with maybe a couple of days notice, I was praying fervently using some verses from the Psalms. My prayer from the depths of my heart went something like this: Lord,… Read More A Different Miracle
I was reading the story in the gospel accounts recently about the Gerasene demoniac that Jesus healed. Here’s this man who has been in physical and spiritual bondage for quite some time. He is hurting. He is violent. He lives in the graveyard. He spends his days and nights acting insane. “Constantly, night and day,… Read More Do You Want to See Jesus?
