It takes time and a certain level of maturity to wait and pray in expectation knowing that God may not respond the way you’d like. To find yourself at peace with His ‘no’ and to be truly okay with it. I’ve come to understand that ‘My grace is enough’ is often God’s answer to ourContinue reading “Grace Enough”

Catching Up
I missed this prompt while I was busy making travel plans. I thought I might just reflect on what was, by giving a glimpse into my awesome trip. This journey took me to my beloved island nation. The pandemic had rudely interrupted our plans as a family , so we had to switch somethings around.Continue reading “Catching Up”
Hard to Say Goodbye
This past week part of my high school graduating class came together after 40 years. It was something almost ‘other worldly’. Many of us hadn’t seen nor heard from each other in decades. What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”
Where it All Started
Over 40 years ago, a group of bright-eyed bushy tail kids met at the high school we so lovingly call ‘The One Don’. This week we gathered for our 40 year reunion- a week long celebration. For sure the kid in us came alive again. As we toured our beloved campus, we certainly got nostalgicContinue reading “Where it All Started”
You are Always on My Mind
I don’t consider myself a worrywart. My heart and mind don’t do well in that space. I’ve lived long enough to know that most of the things I worry about never manifest anyway. The truth is things do have a way of working out. As a person of faith, I stay in peace by havingContinue reading “You are Always on My Mind”
You Had Me at Hello
Well, let’s be honest –I don’t remember if he ever said “hello”! This was many decades ago. I have written about him twice on my blog. I attached those links below. Why are there still lingering memories of the music he played on the strings of my heart? We’ve moved on a long time ago.Continue reading “You Had Me at Hello”
I love Him in His Imperfection
Father’s Day arouses a whole range of emotions in many people. From feelings of delight, awe, respect and admiration to total disdain. For some it’s a love-hate reality; one that can be confusing at times. When I look at my own relationship with my father, it was puzzling at times. I love the man, butContinue reading “I love Him in His Imperfection”
Too Young for Love
This morning I found an old diary with entries made in the 1980s. As a young teenager I walked through a plethora of emotions on any given day. They were real and they mattered. Those were some unbelievably tumultuous seasons. My need to journal started back then. This was my way of unburdening my heartContinue reading “Too Young for Love”
The Legacy He Left Behind
Recently I was asked who was one of my favorite fathers in the Bible. I know there are many well-known biblical fathers that we speak of quite often. For some reason, my mind immediately went to Zelophehad. Not one of the popular ones –not spoken about frequently. This was a father who passed away andContinue reading “The Legacy He Left Behind”
Not Only for Himself
Sometime ago my son was looking at some pictures of his childhood and had some questions. He was amazed how the friends he had around him then are all still connected in some ways over 30 years later. He wanted to know the story of the beginnings of ‘his village’. Yesterday, we gathered to celebrateContinue reading “Not Only for Himself”
