Be Still...
The book of Exodus has proven to be quite the inspiration for writing as of late. Who knew?? The funny thing about writing for me is once something hits me, I need to get it out or it is GONE! That happened with my last Exodus inspiration. I was partially done writing, got distracted and now I can't seem to revive it. Moving on... The book of Exodus is essentially a tug of war between Moses and Pharaoh. Moses, following God's lead, repeatedly tries to convince Pharaoh to

Steps...
In my last post, I wrote about Abraham's obedience to God when He asked for Isaac, His son. God asked something wildly sacrificial of Abraham and without hesitation Abraham complied. Abraham went as far as to secure his son, Isaac, to the altar as God had commanded, but God provided a way out! God indeed provided another way but not until Abraham showed his full commitment to the request of God, not until Abraham took the steps towards obedience. That's where I'm going wit

Eyes of Faith
Everytime I read in Genesis, the story of Abraham's obedience to God regarding his son Isaac, I'm in awe. Abraham's faith is awe-inspiring but also seems crazy!

Words
It's been a good solid minute since I opened up the website to create this blog post. The cursor is just blinking at me. The title to me is clear, "Words", but what is meant to come next...I'm not quite sure. Maybe if I just keep typing, it will become more clear. There is a bit of a let down post holiday festivities. Does anyone else feel that? The decor is all down and put away, all of the gatherings have ceased. All the food is healthy again. The kiddos have gone back

That's Not For You
I'm always surprised at how much time passes from one post to the next. As I wrote in"Blank", back in March (previous post), sometimes there just isn't much to say. I'm not sure what that says about my life...maybe I'm incredibly busy...nope, that's not it! Maybe I'm incredibly boring...that feels a little closer to the truth. At this stage of life I will take boring over the alternative. I chose to write today because one phrase has been lingering on my mind since I heard
