Shredded heart

Things are happening that I absolutely am not ready for. My heart feels like it has been ripped to such mangled shreds and scattered so far that no piece is salvageable. I’m numb yet the pain is so piercing. I’m hurting and yet my spirit feels almost void of emotion. I can’t think. I can’t find any words to speak. I’m completely at a loss right now. I am not ready for what is coming. I knew that this day would come. I have imagined how I would feel when it did. How I would handle it with such grace. How brave I would be. How courageous I would stand. Nope. Not handling it gracefully. Not one ..read more

My sister and I were sitting in what used to be her art studio. The place she used to create beautiful paintings. The place where she once designed and crafted beautiful jewelry. We were sitting in the room where her creativity had no boundaries. Her mind and her hands had at one time worked together in a gorgeous harmony that resulted in exquisite works of art whether on canvas or in a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. As we sat there in the quiet, just enjoying a moments peace before her day of doctor appointments began, her sweet voice broke through the silence. “You know that if I don’t get ..read more

OVERWHELMED?

It was my first Easter in 36 years not spent with my husband. My first Easter that I wasn’t with any of my children. My heart was heavy with a little loneliness. A little sadness. A little weariness. The worship time in song was gorgeous and it filled those places in my heart that were wanting. The message was powerful and it filled those places in my spirit that were needy. And then… The church body sang the beautiful words of “Because He lives”. The music then stopped, but the singing continued. All that was heard was simply the sound of a multitude of voices lifting much praise toward heav ..read more

A four-letter word..

Who doesn’t need this little four-letter word in their life? Who doesn’t need the POWER that this word denotes. The ENCOURAGEMENT that this word ushers forth. HOPE It is foundational for our faith. It is necessary for our sanity. It is imperative for our spiritual walk. It is what gives us motivation to move forward when we feel like we are at a standstill. It fills us with ANTICIPATION of things to come. With eager EXPECTATION of what God has purposed for us. HOPE is trusting Him in all things. HOPE is full confidence in our God. HOPE is in Christ alone. Things may not always go the way we h ..read more

How deep are your roots?

Have you ever felt like this little plant? Trying to grow and thrive when there is very little soil. Virtually no water. When there seems to be no life-giving sustenance in sight. Have you ever felt like you were just clinging to life by a thread and that thread was unraveling quickly? Have you ever felt like you were just thrown onto a rocky path with nothing to grab hold of? We will all experience this at some point in our Christian walk. We will all feel like we are just barely hanging on. Barely drawing breath. The truth is, if we are going to survive those times of drought in our lives ..read more

It’s not about me

I love the call on my life of missionary. I love the call that God has placed upon me to do work for Him in Nicaragua. I absolutely love being able to do enjoy doing what the Lord has commissioned me to do. There are times, though, that it has been extremely hard to leave home. Times that it has taken every ounce of my strength to get on the plane and leave everything behind. There have been many times that I have left with things very unsettled. Very chaotic. There have been times that I have left when so many things back home have needed me and my attention. There have been times when I have ..read more

Unleash His power…

Why do we get so complacent about the Lord? Why do we fail to see who He really is in our lives? Why do we reduce Him to a ‘convenience’ that we turn to only when we need help? I have been convicted of this very thing only to go right back to that same mindset time after time. When the truth of it is that our spirits need to be tuned to the workings of God at all times.  We need to be ever mindful of His power and of His presence.  We go about our daily lives doing what we want to do and we get so busy doing what our flesh desires that we neglect to factor God into our life’s equation. Inst ..read more

Nicaragua. Beautiful country. Beautiful landscape. Beautiful people. They are humble. Hard working. Poverty is evident at every corner. The people here are tired. Weary. Hurting. The economic situation in this place is suffocating to most. People are suffering. They are hungry. Some are destitute. They have no one to help them. No resources to aid them. Food is hard to come by in many areas. The rain didn’t fall as usual. The crops didn’t produce as needed. Prices are high and money is evasive. It is overwhelming to see the many needs all around us and yet feel powerless to help everyone in ne ..read more

Feeling destroyed? Burdened? Confused? Lonely? Do you ever have one of those days? Weeks? Months? Or even years? Those days that we just want to give up. Give in. Give over to the forces that come against us. Those days when nothing seems right. Nothing seems good. Nothing seems manageable. Those days you can’t see any light among all the darkness… Don’t give up. Sometimes it is in the midst of all the chaos that God is working. Sometimes it is in the eye of the storm that we begin to SEEK Him most. Sometimes it is in the confusion of life’s circumstances that we find our WAY. It is in the tri ..read more

So many times those of us who profess Christ as our Savior suffer persecution of sorts from those around us. From friends, acquaintances, and even people who don’t really know us at all. We are held to a higher standard. Our every word and our every action is placed under a microscope. We are made to feel as if we can’t even have normal emotions or reactions to adverse situations. We are made to feel like we can never have a ‘down day’ or feel depressed. Like we can’t experience the ups and downs of life like everyone else because it shows a lack of faith and trust in God. Truth is, our Christ ..read more
