• Food and Fortune

  This weekend has been a bit surreal for me. After the past year and being so far away from the man I love yet haven’t seen face to face; God is working in our lives. It may be separately until we can be together; but God knows best and His timing is always best. In…

• Answered Prayers

  Yesterday morning after I was dressed and ready for church I finally looked at my phone. Every other Sunday throughout the year we get my niece, but she has had multiple reasons to not come with either me or my parents to church. Her father was raised in church. He now seems to think Sunday…

• A Constant Love

  The past two years could not have been more distinctly different for me. Yet I know God has been working on my heart in different ways beyond even my understanding at the time. I simply lived day to day trying to mete out with each obstacle as best as I could. There have been two…

• Star of Wonder Day #24

  The Purpose of Christmas… To Bring Us to God… was today’s topic. Christ had been to earth in His supernatural body at different times.

• Personal Thoughts

  I was looking forward to working on some articles this evening. Unfortunately that idea was completely shanghaied. I am unhappy how tonight unfolded after specifically saying the word ‘No’ more once. Actually I am pretty certain it was said at least 3 different times.

• Quality Time

  Three hours difference makes having quality time to talk, hopeless, at times. There are little gifts of grace from God that Bryan and I are able to connect and converse.
