Yes, there was a season of spiritual drought I took you through. I walked alongside of you. Without the drought, you couldn’t understand or appreciate the significance of the spiritual abundance that is coming. A drink of water doesn’t mean as much in a rain forest as it does in a desert. - Your loving... Continue Reading →
In His Hands
As a child I learned the song "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands". The song was fun to sing, easy to remember, and made me feel better about God watching over me. Too often, though, I understand God in my head, but not completely in my heart. Not completely, that is, until something... Continue Reading →
Step It Up!
Due to the depressed agriculture market one year, my company's sales had been down. My territory manager’s boss gave the lowest earning scouts two years to reach at least $150,000 in sales. If they couldn’t, they would be let go. Now let me tell you what $150,000 in sales meant at that point in time.... Continue Reading →
Stretching Contacts
There have been many times my heavenly Father has provided for me, especially in the last five years. However, nothing has left me as awestruck as the summer of 2018. I've mentioned before in previous posts that I worked as an agronomist. In the Sandhills of Nebraska, many days are windy and because of our... Continue Reading →
A Circle Y
My heavenly Father has protected me for years, even before I knew him! I would love to know the number of times he has protected me or helped me avoid a dangerous situation.

When we got there everyone greeted us warmly, and I said hello to several acquaintances who attended church there. We sat down to pray and then stood to sing... Continue Reading →
Discipline
When I write these posts, I try to use a picture that would depict what I'm writing about. I want to find really good pictures to convey, as best as possible, what I was feeling during my experience with the Lord. However, this experience was so real that when I looked for pictures of spiders... Continue Reading →
The Teak Wood Path
My husband is a very intelligent man. He likes to think about things, figure them out, and understand what is before him. Oftentimes he asks me how I know a dream is from the Lord. There is a huge difference between a regular dream and one from the Lord. If you've ever had one, you... Continue Reading →
Distracted
Growing up I was taught how to pray. I was encouraged to pray. We prayed before meals, before bedtime, before church, before funerals. There were prayers for confession, prayers for protection, prayers to saints, and prayers for seasons. I had my own little book of prayers I could read in case I couldn't come up...

Yet…
Do you ever have one of those days where you start off walking tall with a spring in your step, and by the end of the day you're hunched over, and thinking "I'm getting too old for this"? I know this feeling all too well. In fact, when my ex-husband left us I think I... Continue Reading →
