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.”

Wrinkles, Nose Hairs, (overwhelming thoughts) and Jesus
Are you facing an overwhelming week? Are things bothering you more than you wish they were? God laid this on my heart a few years ago about how to battle these thoughts- Wrinkles, Nose Hairs and Jesus(God isn’t just the God of “He did” or “He is”. He is also the God of “He will”Continue reading “Wrinkles, Nose Hairs, (overwhelming thoughts) and Jesus”
SAVE the MEN!
Men.All day long they are being bashed. Just because they were born male, men seem to be taking a hit in our culture. As a wife, and a mom of sons, as a woman who loves my husband, my dad, my brother, my son-in-law, and my nephews, too, this makes me incredibly sad. For years,Continue reading “SAVE the MEN!”
Oh, Overwhelmed Heart
When my heart is overwhelmed, when I long for peace, joy and hope, I know I can no longer look to this world. I have been led to the rock that is higher than I. (Ps 61:2) I’ve tasted and seen that He alone is good. I have been blessed to take refuge in Him.Continue reading “Oh, Overwhelmed Heart”
I LOVE MEN. And the PLOY of the enemy.
We live off a long private road, not serviced by the county, and had a huge tree fall last night blocking our little neighborhood. In a matter of moments, the neighborhood guys all showed up. Pickup trucks, ATVs, and multiple chainsaws buzzed. We were out when the tree fell, and couldn’t get back to ourContinue reading “I LOVE MEN. And the PLOY of the enemy.”
Listen to Part One of My Testimony
I was recently interviewed by Girl Defined Ministries. This is the first part of a two part interview about my story – the tragedy, and all God did, the second part will air next week. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-girl-defined-show/id1539982603#episodeGuid=Buzzsprout-8406959
a STRANGE passage and peace
For years, I had read this somewhat strange passage and wondered what it meant— “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and putContinue reading “a STRANGE passage and peace”
I was baptized today!
I was baptized today! Yes, me! I know some of you are shocked. If you’ve read my book, you know, like many of you, I was baptized as a child. But for years, I went my own way, did my own thing, and felt like I gave God enough to get by. Just not all.Continue reading “I was baptized today!”
A note from my daughter
What cost are you willing to pay?(a note from Abi Jaggers McCollough) I’ve been journeying through the book of Acts lately. Paul truly was an incredible warrior for the Kingdom of God. To be honest with you, I have felt some conviction reading through this book. I think it would be easy to brush offContinue reading “A note from my daughter”
Kinsman REDEEMER!
In the dark of night, after Boaz had fallen asleep, Ruth has gone in, uncovered his feet, and lays beside them. This “uncovering” is a sign to him that she wants him to be her kinsman redeemer, covering her with his love and protection. Boaz has been drawn to Ruth and longs to do thisContinue reading “Kinsman REDEEMER!”
Don’t go your own way!
There’s about to be a plot twist. As we pick up Ruth, chapter three, Ruth has crept in and is laying by Boaz’s feet as he sleeps. He is startled around midnight, and, in the dark, awakens and says “Who are you?” (Ruth 3:9) Can you imagine the lump Ruth must have had in herContinue reading “Don’t go your own way!”
Yes, that’s make up
Throughout the Bible, we see women working “behind the scenes” to make things happen, and Naomi is no exception. Ruth and Boaz had spent time together during the weeks of the barley harvest. I can just imagine Naomi eagerly anticipating Ruth’s nightly report of their interactions listening for any hint of romance. Naomi knows BoazContinue reading “Yes, that’s make up”
When Your MOOD Swings!
Have you ever had a mood swing? Have your emotions ever flip-flopped? Mine sure have! And Naomi seems to be able to relate as well! After Ruth meets Boaz, she goes home and tells Naomi all that has happened (see Ruth 2). Naomi says, “Blessed be the name of the LORD, who has not forsakenContinue reading “When Your MOOD Swings!”
You Should Run To Him
I love the beautiful picture of this phrase, “under the shadow of your wings”. How many times my broken, fearful, confused, tired heart has clung to this picture of God. It is a picture of refuge, God holding us close, and this is how Boaz used it when he spoke to Ruth in his fieldContinue reading “You Should Run To Him”
To my fellow sojourner in this lost world
It was a small circle of women. Just a few. We had gathered to pray for revival in our country and our world. These were church women, ministry leaders, and pastors wives. The talk was light at first. Ballgames and bagels. But soon tears showed up as the conversation shifted to stories, one by one,Continue reading “To my fellow sojourner in this lost world”
