It’s early. I rolled out of bed with a mean headache, a side effect of the nitroglycerin patch I’m now wearing. My mind went quickly to my heart, and more tests I’m scheduled for next week. It was so early, only 5 am, yet there it was, that dark cloud again. I began to prayContinue reading “Here I am, anxious again.”

Do You know a Christian Atheist?
It would be easier to never mention this, but it seems there are lots of Christian Atheists these days. Perhaps, you know one? Perhaps, you are one? You may be a Christian Atheist if you say you are a Christian, but you, in fact, live as if you don’t believe God is real (the GodContinue reading “Do You know a Christian Atheist?”
When Your Heart and Strength Fail.
Psalms 73:26 says, “My heart and my strength may fail but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”. My strength and heart will fail,but Godnever will. And I know this to be true. These aren’t just words. I am not just hoping or wishing. Still, if I’m honest, a situation ofContinue reading “When Your Heart and Strength Fail.”
Why is that brother even in the story?
Have you wondered why the older brother is even in the story? It’s a curious story. A favorite really. If you’ve sat in church or heard a testimony you’re probably familiar with the Parable of the Prodigal Son. For years, I focused on the prodigal and the father running to Him. It’s a beautiful pictureContinue reading “Why is that brother even in the story?”
Do you ever feel like you do more than your fair share?
It had been one of those days. I had worked and worked and felt like others weren’t doing their share. I had been playing the pity party music in my head for quite some time when my mom mentioned that my daddy’s feet were hurting him again. She explained that every morning she washes hisContinue reading “Do you ever feel like you do more than your fair share?”
It seemed reasonable to me, but….
The man who reclined at the table, so long ago, listening to Jesus teach, thought it sounded great! He exclaimed, “Blessed is he who shall eat in the kingdom of God!” (Luke 14:15) He was ready to make his dinner reservations in Heaven. But our honest Savior wanted the man (and all of us) toContinue reading “It seemed reasonable to me, but….”
When you want God to explain Himself…
Just in case you are suffering and need some deep truth about our Lord, (and just in case you need to know God is at work through the next generation), read this from my sweet Jenna Mitchum. I’ve been reading the book of Job, a book I continue to come back to, but this timeContinue reading “When you want God to explain Himself…”
When we are strong, and when we are not, Jesus is there.
When our faith is strong, Jesus is there. When we fall apart, He is still there. Jesus has just finished teaching the famous parables about the blind leading the blind, and building our houses on the rock (Luke 6), and then walks into Capernaum. He is quickly met by Jewish elders requesting help for aContinue reading “When we are strong, and when we are not, Jesus is there.”
Don’t allow the enemy to use past wounds for future gains
I’m sharing this previous post again today just in case someone else, besides just me, needs it….❤️ What should have been a day of relaxing and laughing with friends while tubing on the Little River in the Smoky Mountains turned into a terrifying moment for me. I had floated that river for years. The sunContinue reading “Don’t allow the enemy to use past wounds for future gains”
I needed to remember this again.
I needed to remember this again today. It has to be strange, curious, and honestly, a little absurd, for those who do not fear the Lord, to watch those who do, deal with things like CoVid, and even the craziness of our country, right now. What those, who do not fear the Lord, or perhapsContinue reading “I needed to remember this again.”
When you wait
So many of you connected with this post and shared it with others when I originally posted it. I thought you might like to read it again and check out an update below! Praising the Lord in the hard days, the waiting days and the days full of JOY! She’s incredibly private. And one ofContinue reading “When you wait”
Will you pray for me?
Hi friends, Will you pray for me? This next week our family is getting away for a much needed break. My prayer request is to spend time with Jesus without thinking about the next thing I will write. I just want to sit at His feet. I need to worship. I want to hear HisContinue reading “Will you pray for me?”
Will you be able to stand?
Right now, we are seeing the winds of hard days and our “cancel culture” blowing away those who aren’t planted with deep roots in biblical truth. Psalm 1 compares those who follow God to a strong tree planted by rivers of refreshing water and goes on to say, “The ungodly are not so, but areContinue reading “Will you be able to stand?”
Characteristics of the HAPPY person—
The happy, blessed person does not do some things but does do other things. She does not—Walk in the counsel of the ungodly,Stand in the path of sinnersSit in the seat of the scornful. (Psalms 1:1) The happy person makes a conscious effort about who they hang out with, and who they allow to speakContinue reading “Characteristics of the HAPPY person—”
A question for you-
Blessed. Sometimes it seems like such an overused “church word”. I’ve heard people, going through awful times, detail their circumstances then they say, unconvincingly “but I’m blessed”. And honestly, sometimes, it seems like they think they should say that, but they don’t really mean it. But as we open Psalms 1, there it is, theContinue reading “A question for you-“
Some days are just Psalms days. Do you know what I mean?
Some days are just Psalm days.Do you know what I mean? I turn to the Psalms often when I need comfort, when I need to remember God sees human emotion—like the emotion I might be feeling, and even included songs portraying those emotions in His Bible. In the Psalms, we see real people expressing realContinue reading “Some days are just Psalms days. Do you know what I mean?”
Early Morning Momma Thoughts
It’s dark outside.I’m up early. And my heart is sad and happy all at the same time. It’s a momma heart and it’s just apt to be like that. My youngest will graduate college today. She’s already married and living on her own. In a couple weeks, my only one left at home will closeContinue reading “Early Morning Momma Thoughts”
Get Used To Different!
The widely popular show, The Chosen, (I love it!) has a saying, “Get used to different”. People are buying out all the show’s shirts that say this. The point is, to emphasize, how, after Jesus comes into our lives, we are different. He changes us and things look different because of Him. When the worldContinue reading “Get Used To Different!”
That’s Me.
That’s me. My daughter snapped the picture when we were being silly. It was one of those carefree, fun, memory-making days. I didn’t care about the wrinkles around my eyes, the gray in my hair, or the few pounds I might have put on. But, later, when I sat looking at that picture, I zoomedContinue reading “That’s Me.”
You can listen to my story
I am honored to study the Word with so many of you, and I realize many of you have heard parts of my story and others none at all. I’d like to share with you what led to my love for God and His Word and why I write the things I do. I’d likeContinue reading “You can listen to my story”
