I recently saw this post on Facebook – “Until God opens the next door, Praise Him in the hallway”. Being someone who is presently sitting in the hallway wondering where I’m supposed to serve next, I thought WOW! I know He has a plan and I know I’m supposed to be doing something – … [Read more…]
What do rush hour traffic, doctors’ offices, & standing in line all have in common? Waiting! I’m taking a poll…how many of you like to wait? I think I’m a pretty patient person until I have to wait in standstill traffic. That drives me up a wall! Come to think of it, I don’t like … [Read more…]
I arrange my life into blocks of time and deliberately map them out on an annual calendar.

“O, Lord, open his eyes so that he may see.” 2 Kings 6:17 Discouragement is a normal emotion when we’ve experienced some sort of loss, or when we are waiting on God to do something in our lives. It may be that we are waiting on God to find our mate, begin a family, provide … [Read more…]
“…they set out…to go to Canaan. But…they settled there (in Haran.”) Gen. 11:31 The word settle is an intriguing word. Its meaning is determined by the context in which it is used.
