How Great Thou Art!

Waking up this morning my mind was resting on all the things that needed to get done and the loss of a child my friend is experiencing.  I begin to pray.  I did not have any immediate answers but what God did was just remind me of how GREAT and AWESOME He is. It was a 5…

GOD is Working in YOU!

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13 God is working in you (Trust Him!) God gives you desires and the ability to dream (Seek Him!) God gives you power to transform dreams into action (Claim His Power!) God’s number one goal is…

Called? or Qualified?

What’s the difference?  Most of us are qualified to do many things.  You could right now write a list of everything you feel qualified to perform and create a resume.  What about called to do?  Ever feel like you just fell into your current position, or once upon a time you thought, “this is what…

God is moving and working….

To all, These posts are unbelievable. They have truly been a blessing to me as I can relate to them. Oftentimes we go through trials and tribulations and we don’t even realize that the very people that are in our circle, are going through something in their life as well.

He is drawing us

The Circle Maker small group began last night.  Our leaders shared a profound spiritual beginning:  God is drawing you to Himself not challenging you.  As a back drop to the study they emphasized a drawing of God’s love and not a battle with Him in which we feel inadequate and exhausted. “I have loved you with an everlasting love;…

A Beautiful Life

An ordinary afternoon at Starbucks is a moving experience and they never knew.  Maybe I should have told them but how could you share something so deep with a stranger and expect them to stick around in such a public place to listen.  Sitting down in the brown chair and hooking up the laptop, ready…

A Marriage Made In The Garden

I’ve been married for 23 years, and dated Parish for 2 years.  We’ve been getting to know each other for a long time.  I’ve been to marriage retreats, read marriage books, watched the movie Fireproof, and attended marriage small groups.  I can quote you most verses on how the man is supposed to love you…

Stomach Issues

I’ve read a lot of Bible Studies on the Israelites wandering in the wilderness, and their number one issue was complaining.  They were never satisfied, and always grumbling.  Some studies I find are very “judging” in nature – like as if to say, “How could they complain?!” I’m in the Circle Maker book and the miracle…
