Facing the Giants

Wow! I saw the movie Facing the Giants today. It is a movie for anyone who loves football and is filled with the truths of God. I cannot express how much it touched my heart and revived my spirit for my God. Of course, all day has been wonderful. I was not alone in the prayer room during service today and it was a real blessing to have another join me there to pray for God's hand to work His will in the hearts and minds of those in the service and the children and preschool in their areas. We prayed and we cried out to God together. What a sweet time. I thank God for including me in His work...I'm humbled by the evidence of His use of my life and awed by how awesome He is to be able to use my life. A life that is nothing without Him. A life that's been redeemed and made a holy vessel for His glory. How great and mighty is the Lord our God. How great and mighty is He!

Surgery Needed!

I’ve spent years wanting to write words that will bring life and encouragement into the lives of others. I’ve not written for fear of writing the wrong words or being misunderstood. I’ve lived a life of disobedience. I’ve used other “good things” to procrastinate and justify myself. I’ve allowed dead works to fill my days and ease my conscience, but… Last weekend, I read a verse that caused me to pray a prayer that has rocked my world. It turned me upside down and has shaken me so hard that everything of no value has been exposed. Just this morning I was given the reminder that I was delivered and called to a life of holiness for God’s purposes and not my own (2 Timothy 1:9). So, I’m guessing you want to know what Saturday’s verse was. Here goes… The verse was Acts 3:26. So it is to you first that God has sent His servant who He has raised up, so that He might bless you by turning each one of you from your evil ways. FYI: I am currently reading from the Compl

In The Garden...The Flower Walk

Our family has a tradition we call the Flower Walk. It's an early morning stroll around the garden looking at all that's changed since the previous day. There's nothing like the quiet stillness, broken only by the singing of the birds. The dew is heavy and the air is cool. Our Flower Walk is usually done alone, but I do the Flower Walk with Momma or Daddy whenever I'm back home. We carry a cup of hot drink and amble around the yard and talk about what we see. We don't whisper, but there is a hush to our words; we speak with a quietness to match the morning air. We usually settle on the porch and talk about life as we've talked about the garden. We talk about the things past and dreams for things yet to come. There is an intimacy in the time we spend together. There's the lingering of many past walks; the hope of future walks. Gardening, for me, is not about the work or even the flowers that come and go with the seasons. It's about t

In The Garden...Tools

Spring beckons us outdoors and invites us to stroll around our gardens. We see the new growth and we take stock of what needs to be done to keep all our plants as healthy as possible. For the next few weeks, I want to compare the work of tending our garden to tending the garden of our hearts. Gardening requires tools , and those tools must be taken care of properly. They must be cleaned and many must be sharpened. Items needed will vary by tool, but we all need rags, alcohol, and oil. Some of you sharpen your own tools which adds sharpening devices and knowledge of angles to the list of things you need. Other tools need things like electrical cords and batteries. Not everyone would agree, but I consider gloves and sunglasses as must-have garden tools. Gloves protect my hands and ensure a firm grip. S unglasses keep me from squinting against the glare, and help me see what I'm doing. I don't want to lop off the wrong branch or uproot plants instead of weed
