You number my wanderings; put my tears in Your bottle; are they not in Your book? Psalm 56:8 Those words, long ago penned by David, speak a beautiful truth of our loving God…our tears matter to Him.

The-LORD-Will-Provide
I was looking through some of my old journals the other day. Moments in time, marked on paper, of heartfelt cries to the Lord as well as gracious words of hope and encouragement from His heart to mine. I came across a couple of my entries that stood out. They were entries regarding our dwindlingContinue reading “The-LORD-Will-Provide”
When You Only See The Weeds
I enjoy taking pictures of the often overlooked, everydays in nature. I find God’s creation absolutely fascinating and I often marvel at the intricate details He has made. Even something as simple as the morning dew on blades of green grass or the way the sunlight shines through a tree, I find wonderfully beautiful. TakeContinue reading “When You Only See The Weeds”
Asking God to Sign His Name
When I was a child, I longed for God to tangibly reveal Himself to me. Every once in a while I would leave a piece of paper and pencil on my dresser at bedtime and ask God to sign it. I wanted physical proof that He was indeed real. When morning came, I would eagerlyContinue reading “Asking God to Sign His Name”
The Goodness of God
“Forgive us, Father, when we take our lack of understanding and use that to perceive You as indifferent.” This was a simple prayer written in my journal back in 2009.

No Soliciting
In our neighborhood, we get a ridiculous amount of solicitors. There seems to be a steady stream of people knocking on our door trying to convince us to buy solar, buy magazines so they can win a trip, switch over to home delivery dry cleaning, or even buy meat from their truck. Ew. They areContinue reading “No Soliciting”
Slowing Down
Our new dishwasher arrives tomorrow. I knew something was amiss with our old one when halfway through the wash cycle it got very quiet. You see our old dishwasher was never quiet. When it was running, it was like the rumbling of a freight train going through our kitchen. So, because of this, I wasContinue reading “Slowing Down”
Free indeed
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36 This verse came to mind as I sat in my car the other day. I was in the parking lot at a local shopping center waiting on my son when I took notice of the American flags flying in the breezeContinue reading “Free indeed”
