The Courage to Take the Gift…

Glen and I are enjoying some time on the tip of Florida at Hollywood and Miami beach.  Lot’s of time to catch up on some reading and particularly on a devotional we should have finished by the end of 2009.  It’s “Abundant living” by E. Stanley Jones. Here’s an excerpt that’s speaking profoundly right now. [...]

Knowing God by Heart

In the process of developing the ‘new’ God’s Money Heart Ways, I’m reveling in fresh insights regarding what I think of as God’s marvelous intentions for us.  I’ve never spent time memorizing God’s word; I know what I know by heart. This morning I read from a new devotional given me by a new friend.  [...]

The Will of God

During the prayer class we’ve been talking about praying according to God’s will.  It’s interesting, every time I take one of our courses He magnifies the truth I’ve seen “through a glass dimly” even more.  Here’s a small excerpt from one of my recent journals.
And how bold and free we then become in his presence, [...]

You Can See Me

Today while reading the assignment from my daily Bible planner the following passage stood out so I paused and waited for Him to inform me:
Jesus said, “Don’t bicker among yourselves over me. You’re not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me—that’s the only way you’ll [...]

Heart Recovery

I was following my heart as I visionwrote or journalized this morning and look what came out!  I hope it blesses you as it did me.  (I’m in the Prayer Class with a group of wonderful ladies here in Abilene, KS.)  The Scripture verses for today were as follows.

One only is the Lawgiver and Judge [...]

The Tongue is Connected to the Brain

In class last night we talked about how the tongue is connected to the brain and the pen is connected to the heart.  We think, then talk.  We write to see what’s really going on in our hearts, for a revelation of our own heart can astound us.  God is after hearts; He says He [...]

What Journalizing Does For Me

Train me in good common sense; I’m thoroughly committed to living your way. Before I learned to answer you, I wandered all over the place, but now I’m in step with your Word.
Psalms 119:66-67 The Message

Have you ever tried to untangle a jumbled chain necklace and found that there’s no fast way to do it?  [...]

Take No Thought

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  Matt 6:34 (KJV)
I’ve always craved a reckless faith, say, like Abraham’s or Joseph’s or Paul’s, and I’ve wondered; what would a reckless faith look like in my life?
All we need is to look to Jesus for the [...]

The Future Is Unknownness

I admit it; I feel overwhelmed.  The world is changing.  Uncertainty fills the air.  Securities are threatened.  Anxiety is eeking out of people’s mouths.  No one knows if and when they will land on their feet.
During this time I am preparing to cleave to a new husband while letting go of everything I’ve  formerly known [...]
