For many years, all my life really, when I’ve heard the term, “the Joy of the Lord”, for example: “The joy of the Lord is my strength.”, I’ve thought of it as the joy the Lord gives me. I experience joy in knowing Him, being loved by Him. The joy of having the Lord in…

Lions, and Giants, and Bears! Oh My!
Hello beloved, I have been thinking of the words of God to the children of Israel, when they had again and again, not believed in the Lord’s ability and faithfulness. He had delivered them from Egypt and cared for them in the wilderness, through amazing miracles, and brought them all the way to the threshold…
The Step
Good morning, beautiful, beloved family, Lately, a single thought has been in my head and heart, a new realization about God, about Jesus. It’s kind of “out there” but I believe true. I just haven’t been sure this is the place to tell it. I am just beginning to see it. Anyway, I woke to…
Algebra or whatever…..
Hello Beloved, The line keeps coming into my mind: “We take God out of the equation.” I have had situations in my life that have seemed overwhelming. Relationships. Work. Physical ailments.

Seeing Jesus
This email is about Jesus. Things have been changing, in me. My sight is changing. When I was little, I had an idea of Jesus. He was the One in the pictures, holding the lamb, talking to the little children. Then when I turned 8, I repented of my sins and asked Jesus to come…

Rest
Good morning, beloved. I hope this finds you all resting in the love of our glorious Father. We can go through anything, go anywhere, and love anyone, when we rest in all that He is. I was reading Hebrews 4 this morning, and it seems that the difference between living in God’s rest and not…
Miracles
I hope you are ok if I am brutally honest with you. Some of you may think I’m a nice person. I like that. I like being thought of as a nice person who thinks of others, who has compassion, someone who’s thoughtful and all that stuff. Some of what I tell you will destroy…
For such a time as this
Lately I have been thinking of two things more than other stuff. Number 1. I need to stop waiting for something. This is the only day I have. These times are exciting in the world. They might seem dark and threatening, but if I see them for what they are, God’s glorious hand at work,…
What if…… (Changes in Attitude)
So, something happened last night that brought on the following thoughts. It was sort of my previous posts being brought into real life. 1. What if instead of saying, “Crap! I have to do _______!” We would say, “Wow! I get to do _______”. Instead of a chore, see it as a privilege. An honor….
