Totality…
The totality that may seem to consume you at this moment – it cannot block out the light of God’s love! His love, His power, the truth of how far He went to bring you to Himself – even though it may be dark right now…The Son continues to shine!

Why is peace elusive?
I am very capable of finding something new to worry about. Open your news app or turn on the television, and I can give you an endless list of things to worry about. Yet, as Christ said, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself”.

Darkest before the dawn
I am often overtaken by the darkness and my anxiety spikes making it hard to breathe. That is when I must remind myself that God is in control. Nothing happening in the world today—the leaders who are in power, the economy, Covid—none of these things have taken God by surprise. He is still on the…

Why are you wailing?
Have you ever tried to hold a squirming toddler? You wrestle, bounce, sing…anything to get her to relax and rest still in your arms. But in her willfulness, she can’t see that if she would let go and just relax, her tension, tears, and distress, would soon melt away. Do you wonder if that is…

I AM WITH YOU!
My morning devotional today reads, “I AM WITH YOU. I am with you. I am with you. Heaven’s bells continually peel with that promise of My Presence.” (Jesus Calling, Sarah Young) I had to get up and grab my laptop after reading these words, as thoughts poured into my mind and heart. God, the creator…

Spinning your wheels…
Do you ever feel like you are spinning your wheels? I do—often! My husband and I were talking the other night and I asked him how women like, Amy Coney Barrett, seem to be able to “do it all”. She is the mother of 7 children, a federal judge, has a husband and a home…
