Jesus, thank you for helping us see You in all things and remembering how very much you love us. Below is a response from a reader as she reflected on seeing God in the ordinary, and how He connects the dots for us! The most amazing thing I’m seeing through reader’s responses is how He…
Two verses with a stirring in my heart…..
Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Philippians 2:2 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them.” Jonah 2:8 I have no physical energy to write what God has placed on my heart with these two…
God’s Blessings in the Ordinary (a reader’s response)
Remember my post on God’s blessings in the midst of chaos? That seemed to strike a chord with a lot of folks and I’ve been getting responses. Here is one from Char.

God’s Table of Blessings
Rushing around cleaning house and my table stopped me in my tracks. God said to my heart, “Stop and notice.” I could either race around in a feverish pursuit or stop and be thankful. On my table with food crumbs underneath and dirty dishes in the sink, I purposefully choose to see what good things abound…

Homemade Bread
Having access to Panera, bread machines, and grocery stores we have forgotten the fun of making home-made bread from good old-fashioned yeast and flour! Twenty years ago, my husband and I started making bread from scratch after ordering our free cookbook from Fleischmann’s Yeast Company. Below is a link for bread recipes that includes Fleischmann’s…
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…
