So much has happened the last few months, and during that time, I felt as though I was in a fog, or a cold, dark cave. I am finally emerging and feeling renewed and hopeful once again. I had thought that things were improving several weeks ago – and they were – but it was …
I remember hearing my home pastor, Bro. Ken Graham, say many times over the years, “Don’t judge other people in church. You have no idea what that person is going through. It may be all they can do to sit there and hold up their head.” I remember marveling over that thought! Could it be …
Wow. Who knew that blogging would almost be a thing of the past for me this year? (Please don’t tell me that you saw it coming by the pointlessness of my previous posts…*sigh*) I cannot believe it’s already May! I suppose that interacting online has not been my forte as of late. You’re probably imagining …
I have so much to share, and yet, so little time these days! God has been lovingly guiding me and helping me in a very special way the past few weeks. I’ve endured more heartache, but somehow I’m managing things better! In fact, the trial no longer feels like a “valley”. Instead, it feels like …
Every time I experience a trial, I always see lessons the Lord is teaching me. This time is no different. I am learning several things, one of which is to rejoice with those who rejoice.(Rom. 12:15) My dad used to say that misery loves company, and I’ve found that to be true. I want to …
It’s been hard to post anything lately. I haven’t felt like doing any online “interacting”. When I’m in the midst of a valley, I’ve found I just don’t have the words to say. And, if I do try to write about it, responses to those posts can often do more harm than good. Words can …
I am constantly amazed at how God sees me through each day. I often begin my days heavy-hearted, full of care and woe. I pray and read my Bible, still not feeling an overwhelming burst of energy or joy. I end the day, however, hopeful and ready to see what tomorrow holds. I lie in …
I admit it. I get a bit distressed when folks gripe about Facebook. After all, it’s not that bad. I’ve enjoyed my time there. I’ve decided to share with the world around me the secret to using Facebook happily and drama free. It’s one of those things where “easier said than done” would be an …
As I was going about doing housework this morning, a thought came to me. Since that only happens about once every ten years, I decided to stop doing housework and share it with the world. After all, if I don’t do it now, I’ll forget it! I was making the bed, thinking about the sermons …
Not too long ago, a friend posted the words to the song “God Will Make This Trial a Blessing” on Facebook. My, my! It brought back memories! I remembered the tent meeting that my best friend, Dixie, and I attended together in East Prairie, Missouri. She and her family set up the tent for evangelist …
