If you look up the definition of the word “wait,” it says to “stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens.” We live in a society that values activity; therefore, waiting is an unnatural activity—or lack of activity. However, isn’t most of God’s word—aren’t most of His […]
This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 What a day it has been! This morning as I turned on the news, I learned of the crash of a medical helicopter. I watched in horror as the pictures of the mangled and burned machine flashed […]

The point in waiting is to enjoy To love and worship God In act of your life Including the waiting. And in the waiting Remember His nature That He is the Giver of every perfect gift That He desires to lavish on you with such treasures Treasures that are worth the wait Solely because He […]

I know I promised more on waiting for God, but I think I am going to take a short break for some light-hearted moments from the life of a single mom. I will return to the subject of waiting in a few days. For now, I would like to introduce you to my children. I […]
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. Be still in the presence of the […]
Have you ever heard God speak? I have never heard an audible voice, but I know without a doubt that He has spoken to me many times. Sometimes He speaks directly through His word. Sometimes I hear a still, small voice whisper in my spirit. Sometimes someone says something that just causes my spirit to […]
When I first separated from my husband, I was angry with God. I couldn’t even open my Bible or pray. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue walking with Him. After all, following Him hadn’t worked out so well for me. When I finally recovered enough to open my Bible, I somehow landed in the book of Job. I’ve […]

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32). In the days following Hank’s death, I prepared myself for the funeral. I had reintroduced myself to the church, […]
Have you ever been so distraught that you literally cried before God? Most of us have probably experienced that type of anguish. Maybe our first instinct is to turn to God in our hurt. Maybe it is our last resort. God loves us so much that His heart is moved in our distress. He hurts […]
