It was hard to lose Crickett, so I thought that getting some kittens would help. They were adorable but they weren’t mine to keep. God knew best. After I had the kittens for a week, God made it very clear to me, through a number of circumstances, that I was to find a new home … Continue reading When It Hurts to Obey

Help Is Here!
I guess I will talk some about the summer. There were many lessons to learn and it’s good to reflect. On June 30 it was 105 degrees. I had to move out of two places (that story is too long to share) and into one, and the AC in my new place chose that day … Continue reading Help Is Here!
My Sweet Crickett
I knew Crickett, my cat didn’t have much time left. She hadn’t eaten for a week and had barely eaten before that. Several times a day I gave her a saucer of Ensure and she took a little but that was it. I was grateful for each minute with her, but at the same time … Continue reading My Sweet Crickett
Too Stretched to Write
I created this category of my blog to write about my journey during this year that I asked God to stretch me. He stretched me so much that I couldn’t write anymore. It was a difficult summer. I wouldn’t repeat it for anything; but I wouldn’t miss the growth and the closeness with God, either. He … Continue reading Too Stretched to Write
Meltdown Monday
Happy Monday! I had a meltdown today. I woke up this morning, feeling a little overwhelmed. I have finally found some balance and some downtime in my schedule … and then something unexpected came up over the weekend. So I woke up a little flustered. I was away from my house the past two days, … Continue reading Meltdown Monday
Thank You for My Meltdown
Today I had a meltdown, God. It didn’t last long, but it was real. Through it, I was reminded that You are real too. I want to thank You for my meltdown and for the things You showed me through it. Thank You that You’re always here. Thank You that I can always cry out … Continue reading Thank You for My Meltdown
Dog Fear … Gone!
When I got home tonight, I discovered I’m no longer afraid of the dogs. I rent a beautiful apartment on the property of a wonderful family. They have three dogs. One is very docile and always greets me with a friendly tail wag when I arrive. He never seems to bark. The other two always … Continue reading Dog Fear … Gone!
Holding onto Peace
I felt so tired tonight and I asked God why. Why should I be this tired on a Monday? He gently reminded me of my meltdown this morning. He’s told me that a lot lately. I lack energy for no apparent reason. I’m healthy. I’m resting. I’ve resumed my spiritual disciplines. I’m taking regular sabbatical … Continue reading Holding onto Peace
God’s Lessons
I've had a few tough lessons over the last few weeks. Or I should say ... I've failed a few tough lessons. God's lessons. My reason for failing these lessons was lack of trust in God, which in my case translates to "stinkin fear!" My lease was up June 30 on a place I love. … Continue reading God’s Lessons
Stinkin’ Fear
I had a wonderful and relaxing evening at home. When it came time to go to sleep, I let fear in the door. Outside my bedroom window is a motion sensitive light. It goes on if a cricket sneezes. Nevertheless, the fear center of my brain always suspects the worst. Last night it went on … Continue reading Stinkin’ Fear
