Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Throughout my sixty-plus years, I have walked through many seasons of life, and God has been steady throughout all of them. How can I be certain of this? I have proof! The majority of my writing will never be seen by anyone other than myself. I have accumulated boxes and boxes full of journals; some … Continue reading Visible Patterns and Textures
There was that one day that I was a cool chick, well, an older cool chick. I am pretty much a “middle of the road, quiet, steady, girlie” rather than a cool chick most of the time. But at least I recognize that. I try not to pretend or put on airs, which makes “cool … Continue reading Camo and Clarity: What We Don’t See at First
I wasn’t anxious yesterday. But I could feel anxiety sitting around me. I had a visit with my retina specialist. It would have been the day before, but he was in surgery all day. Because it was a work-in visit, I waited over two hours. It is interesting to sit in a waiting room and … Continue reading See Where We Should Depend on God
I was really thirsty. I wanted an icy, refreshing fountain drink. Yet I poured another one down the drain and finally said, “No more.” A Major fast food restaurant — famous for its fountain drinks — has disappointed me for months. I kept hoping it was just a mix issue or faulty equipment that would … Continue reading Viewing the Well of Eternal Refreshment
Today is the first day of Lent. I will be focusing the next forty days on my journey toward Easter. I don’t celebrate Lent as part of any organized religious group as many do. I like the idea of taking the forty days preceding Easter to focus on the sacrifice that Christ gave for me. … Continue reading Seeking the Visible Benefits of Sacrifice
I am looking forward to beginning a new Bible study this week. Meeting together with other believers as we honor God is refreshing. It is a spiritual growth process. We examine, study and learn individually throughout the week. Then we gather together and share what we have gleaned with others. Talking about our Lord with others … Continue reading Continue to Examine God’s Word
I mentioned going to lunch with my “very old friend“ yesterday. As we sat there, a number of people came in and out of the restaurant that I knew. But for the most part, we were surrounded by strangers that were unknown. We sat there catching up for probably two and a half hours. We … Continue reading Seeing God’s Table in a Different Light
What does your day and night look like? Can you tell them apart? Since I’ve been trying to get my schedule realigned from the past couple of years of just winging it, sometimes it is hard for me to see where the day ends and the night begins. To say my sleep schedule is out … Continue reading From the Light of Day to the Dark of Night
Do you have any idea how much water you can lose if you have a faucet that is dripping or a leaky toilet? It might actually amaze you. Last summer my water bill went up considerably from one month to the next, very considerably. I knew that I had not used a lot of extra … Continue reading Keep Your Eye on the Details
Good grief! Tax documents are coming in. That is actually not a really big deal for me, but it is the act of getting them done and in the mail that stresses me out a little bit. I don’t know why. It probably shouldn’t, because my taxes are very simple. I can use a 1040 … Continue reading Until I See “Forever and Ever…Amen!”
