As we do in every year, we make changes. This is nothing new. Change is a part of daily life. There is no “normal.” We live in the present and deal with what is happening today. I received an offer from the Lord to change my journey.

We expect the low tonight to be forty-two degrees. I’d better cover the plants! BRR! {Guffaw!} This is as close to a White Christmas as we get. Can you see the whitecaps on the Atlantic?

I signed onto my work desktop and opened my email. The email’s subject line put me on notice. Trouble was brewing. Uh oh… Do I open it or ignore it?Continue reading “Out of Step”→
Here is a taste of how He leads me on this journey. I spend my morning waking up with coffee, scripture, and prayer. Sometimes My Lord and I have a conversation. Other mornings I am quiet or busy depending on the day. Sometimes I write. Continue reading “He Restores”→
I am praying you are blessed this Easter and Passover. I woke praising God again. I couldn’t stop it. The evil one pricked me with guilt and I didn’t buy it! Not one little bit. I have found joy in the shadows. Continue reading “Praise, Stars, and Treasure”→
