Today he mentioned that hydrogen and oxygen are highly flammable gases, but joined together in a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom, they make a substance that extinguishes fire. (H2O = water) He explained a… Read More Day 196- Thankful for Lessons from H2O
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, Mandisa’s “Way Maker” was on auto repeat in my mind until late last night. Then I started thinking about another song she sings. She’s an amazingly talented musical artist, by the way! I love the lyrics to this song! Bleed the same We all bleed the sameWe’re more beautiful… Read More Day 193- Thankful God is not racist
Saturday morning was cold, after having reached near freezing, but by afternoon it had warmed up and had become a beautiful day! It was a perfect day for tilling the garden. The strawberry plants already have blossoms, and I’m already harvesting asparagus. But the rest of the garden needed to be tilled before we can… Read More Day 167-Thankful for our tiller, my husband, and God preparing our hearts to plant a beautiful garden!
When I came home from an extended mission trip, life falling apart, I started feeling my need for support from other praying people. Every time I would drive by the sign for a certain church that I had never visited before, something in my spirit would jump with hope. So, I decided to check it… Read More Day 30 of 365 Days of Thanks – Thankful for faithful prayer partners

In this new place I don’t know anyone. As I walk down the long hallway three ladies laugh. They look at me and are quiet, no hellos and no how are you doing? Their eyes just stare, smiling, through me a look that says I’ve interrupted something. I am an interruption. We all need… Read More How to be accepted
Two years ago, as the New Year arrived, I heard for the first time about choosing one word for the year instead of making a New Year’s resolution (which I usually didn’t bother to do.) I felt the Lord was giving me the word “LISTEN”. It’s something that most of us need to work on,… Read More Speak
When I was a young mommy, I did my best with what I had been given, and I tried to be the best mom that I could be. I think that most mommies do that. But I was still young enough to think I knew so much and not to realize that I had so… Read More Becoming a Better Mommy
