Sufficient. It seems to hold a negative connotation and even so, some days I don’t feel even that. I don’t feel like I can sufficiently explain myself. I don’t think I can sufficiently do my job. I don’t think I can sufficiently be in healthy relationships. And my personal favorite: I’m not sufficient to do […]
Words
The Sovereign LORD has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears; I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away. Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not […]
What I know > What I don’t know
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect -1 Peter 3:15 I think sometimes, especially Christians, think that we need to know all the answers. That […]
Only help my unbelief
I love the relatability of so many people in the Bible. One of my favorites is the father with a demon possessed son that went to Jesus seemingly as a last resort. Now, let’s cut him some slack. First, it’s a human who thinks he’s asking another human to perform in essence a miracle. At […]
Affirmations
This may come as a surprise…but sometimes I question myself. I know. It’s crazy but it’s true. 😉 I can’t tell you how often I ask my Father to show me the parts of myself He wants to refine and the parts He’d like to grow. I ask that anything hindering my vision be cleared […]
“You did that”
I recently vacationed with my sister on a tropical island. It was beautiful, and we loved the time together, but she still knew I was struggling. Struggling to understand the confusion that seems to surround my life and purpose…I mean, I know I have one, believe we all do. But since Covid’s isolation, I struggle […]
Fill my cup, Lord
If I’ve not said so, a consistent aspect of my prayer life centers on asking The Lord to fill me up so I can pour back out on others. It’s very difficult to draw from an empty well and then offer people something refreshing. Without being specific about challenges I face on a daily basis…I […]
Grit in my shoe
When I walk, I pray, and I walk a LOT. When blessed to do it outdoors, I often notice as time progresses, I end up with grit of some sort in my shoes and socks. Typically, it’s a minor irritant, ignored or relieved quickly as I make a quick “finger pass” along the cuff of my socks. This […]
Hush your mouth.
I heard a talk at church a few weeks back that I have and intend to continue listening to. Harvey Carey, a pastor with an incredible testimony and serving in Detroit spoke, and it was GOOD. My husband even told me to listen, that he’d listened several times, and that is NOT him. Harvey spoke […]
