We had a few trusted loved ones who… Read More 4.20.2020 – “My God, in Him I will trust.”

4.14.2020 – “What’s next?”… “What’s ‘now’?”

I often find myself wondering, “What’s next, God? What’s coming? What’s ahead? What are You going to do?” And every time I find myself starting to dwell on that, He seems to bring me right back to, “What’s ‘now’?” What’s ‘right now’?” He takes my eyes and my heart back to what He’s doing right… Read More 4.14.2020 – “What’s next?”… “What’s ‘now’?”

4.11.2020 – Backfired Attempts

This morning has been interesting… and I think the best way to write about everything that is on my heart, is to simply document the “trail”… I opened up my bible to 2 Chronicles Chapter 22. I first noted the headings of the sections in Chapter 22-23 and it’s talking about the evil queen Athaliah,… Read More 4.11.2020 – Backfired Attempts

4.4.2020 – Tender Hearts

This morning the Lord brought to mind a memory from last February, and so I went and found my journal from around that time to see what I had recorded. It was around the time I had fallen.

4.3.2020 – A Deeper Understanding

Looking back over 2019, I can honestly say that it was one of the most challenging, uncertain, stressful, living-on-the-edge kind of years for us. 2019 was unlike any other kind of year I have ever experienced in my life.
