I Wonder If God Hears Me…

Sometimes when life is quiet, when no answers are coming, when waiting continues, we wonder… does my voice reach His ears?  Frustrating isn’t it, to wonder if God hears our hearts, if He really hears what we are asking, hoping, dreaming.   Last week I went to the gym, dropped off my youngest in their childcare…

A New Year, A Fresh Hope

As women looking at a new year, we most assuredly are looking at it with hopes and dreams, whether it’s in the midst of joy or pain.  In realizing this, I came across this quote… “God is looking for people through whom He can do the impossible. What a pity when we plan only the…

The Eyes of Thanksgiving

Last week my husband was in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  Most Haitians are incredibly poor, millions live in dirt homes that flood when it rains.  Last week I stood in a grocery store that had more food, safe water, pasteurized milk and organic fruit than I could ever want or need. I don’t say this to bring…

Do You Hear What I Hear?

One of my favorite Christmas commercials is the one with all the Hershey’s Kisses lined up like a Christmas tree ringing out “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”.  It’s simple, clean and it just makes me happy.   Here’s the problem:  I saw it on TV last night.  And it’s only the beginning of November.…

Great New Blog for Men

I love the book Captivating.  This book by Staci Eldridge is one of the best books out there on the topic of being a woman. One of the most interesting points of the book is this idea of the “Question”.  The book suggests that both little girls and boys ask a fundamental question. For little girls…

Week 11: Psalms 120-134

What fills your heart this week?   For me, my mother’s heart is full of emotions.  As my three oldest prepare to head back to school (two of them in full-day for the first time), I am surprisingly less excited than I anticipated.  Someone asked “aren’t you thrilled?”  Not today.   I wonder if my…

Week 10: Psalm 113-119

We’ve made it to week 10!  I wish I could sit down with each of you and hear what you’ve been learning this summer in this amazing book of Psalms.  There are so many overriding themes, including… A call to praise our good God The “voice” of creation and how it displays God Himself The…

Week 9: Psalm 103-112

Have any of you ever grown impatient with God?  Anybody ever wonder why His timing isn’t quite aligning with yours?  Anyone ever wanted an answer, a solution, a deliverance? Yeah, me too.  And it all crept up on me a few days ago… I was getting around to go for a walk.  Doesn’t that sound…
