  • Make Room

    Mary and Joseph desperately needed a place to stay. While traveling on a journey, in dire need, no one was willing to make room. Today, we too struggle with making room. Our lives and homes are filled to the brim with work, activities, and stuff, most of which have little…

  • Praying Big

    I pray Your will, God, be my heart For You to set my life apart For perfect love to cast out fear To know Your presence strong and near To stand in Holy Spirit power. To not grow faint with passing hour To know and speak Your Truth and Word…

  • The Answer to Prayer

    You prayed, “God, supply!” What you didn’t know, that I had just finished praying, “I surrender! Please God, use me!” Our paths crossed, arranged by God Himself. He answered your prayers. He heard mine. How kind of our God to give us one another As the answers to our prayers.…

  • Comfort’s Calling

    A tiny voice did beckon me While I walked roads of faith Convinced my tired heart to see That comfort was the way. I followed it to paths of ease (A small turn I must say) From toiling roads soon I was freed, Walked on, content and safe. No worries…

  • Notes of Grace

    Though all is cold, seek notes of grace On frozen paths, forsaken ways. Tune ear and soul to notes of grace, For God conducts as grace notes chase ~ His song is tuned to notes of grace Make ears attend, turn up your face, Still frenzied noise in nature’s place,…

  • The Silence Thief

    Guard yourself from him who takes, He who steals – the silence breaks, Quiet moments he destroys. Sound and racket he employs. Blasts your days with deaf’ning noise. Where he treads, the quiet shakes. Priceless gifts of peace and rest, Costly stillness which is blessed, He thieves treasures, please beware!…

  • His Light

    His Light appears for steadfast eyes As beams pierce through the darkest night. His Hope breaks forth to troubled hearts While veils of darkness tear apart. His Peace, a promised gift from Him Who overcame the dark within. Yesterday, I walked to find some peace and rest. The pictures above…

  • Turn Around

    I poured out all my fears today, Along the path I walked. My Savior listened as I prayed He heard me as I talked. His quiet, gentle Spirit said, “Child, You must turn around, Look up and lift your wearied head From troubles on the ground. For there in looking…

  • Today, I Washed Windows

    (Based on a true story) Today, I washed windows. I scrubbed and I cleaned. But the harder I tried The messier it seemed. I questioned and marveled Why spots kept appearing Why dirt didn’t move and And the filth wasn’t clearing. Then in my surprise I looked down real close…

  • The Cost of Obedience

    God is not safe. As a matter of fact, when He asked my husband and me some time ago to step out on a faith-tightrope onto a particular calling, we found that He had removed all security nets from under our feet as well. No plan-b or back-ups were available.…
