This blog’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:102-106 I am a home body. I like to be home. It is my cozy, safe place, my happy place, the place that soothes my soul. It is not big, modern, fancy or upscale. It is like most sixty-plus year old homes, it needs a little maintenance-love. But the light … Continue reading Illuminate My Life

Recognize the Routine
This post’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:98-101. My niece called me a few weeks ago. She was frustrated. Her work day had been stressful. Then when she got home she found that Chewie (her 70 pound Chow) had torn the mini blinds down in the bedroom…again. Poor Chewie. Yes, he got in trouble. From the … Continue reading Recognize the Routine →
Putting a Glow in My Heart
This one may be a little long, well, actually, it is quite long. It can’t be helped. When God does big things we need to let the world know that He still does big things, even if they are only big to us! I had two of the coolest God moments today and they did … Continue reading Putting a Glow in My Heart →
When Others Look at Me, Will They See That I Have Served Faithfully?
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:94-97 Thursday morning I had some letters ready to put in the mailbox. I put my little jacket on over top of my pajamas and headed down the hill toward the mailbox.

Light Up the Dark
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:90-93 I saw a post a few years ago that talked about how we should be praying scripture over our family every day. For many years I had already been sending my family members a good morning text with a Bible verse included. It started out, on my ancient flip … Continue reading Light Up the Dark →
Examining Perseverance and Patience
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:81-89 Car trouble. If we have owned a vehicle, I believe that most of us have had to deal with car trouble in one form or another. My very first car was a 1977, silver Gremlin X with a maroon sport stripe. That maroon sport stripe was very important at … Continue reading Examining Perseverance and Patience →
Oh Let Me See You Breathe Strongly On Me
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:75-80 My electronic device (aka my phone) drives me nuts some times, well lots of times. I think they are made to deliberately see how many times they can get you to yell at them. The auto-correct is my nemesis as of late. I like to talk my texts in. … Continue reading Oh Let Me See You Breathe Strongly On Me →
The Shine of The Silver and Gold that is Our Faith
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:69-74 Watching the Holy Spirit guide your life is such an interesting thing. I have mentioned previously how God managed to place people in my life that strengthened and encouraged me in my Christian walk. I have seen, first hand, that my faith is worth much more than silver and … Continue reading The Shine of The Silver and Gold that is Our Faith →
Joy to Brighten the Day
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:64-68 In Bible study the other night we were talking about wanting our homes to be peaceful places. (If you have heard me tell this story a hundred times….sorry!) I feel like encouraging, uplifting music plays a big part in creating that soothing atmosphere. I generally keep a Christian music station … Continue reading Joy to Brighten the Day →
Walk the Path That is Lit By The Light of The World
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:59-63 I went to the movies with friends and saw a sweet, faith based movie tonight. We got into the theatre after the lights had gone down. That makes it a little more challenging, but the strips of light along the side of the steps helped lead the way. It … Continue reading Walk the Path That is Lit By The Light of The World →
