I have been listening to a series titled “I thirst” it is a 3-part audio message. Two phrases touched my heart deeply, I’d like to share them with you today. “Run to me when you fall.” “Unburden your soul.” Isn’t the last place we tend to go, to the arms of our loving Savior? WhyContinue reading “Soul Pieces”

Pieces of Forgiveness
I have struggled personally with the act of forgiveness. Some resentment harbored over 30 years of my life. Imagine. Withholding forgiveness to another human being when Jesus forgives ME every day, sometimes many times a day. I am not without sin. How did it ever become my place to judge the actions of another? ItContinue reading “Pieces of Forgiveness”
Pieces of Discernment
Oftentimes we are given a scripture or thought to spend time figuring out. Maybe it was easily understandable — but other times, we can’t make heads or tails over the meaning, or if it’s even a message for US. This is when spiritual discernment steps in. Find a trusted advisor, someone who is spiritually sound,Continue reading “Pieces of Discernment”
Questioning Pieces
(From my personal meditation journal) I spent decades asking God why my mom had to die. I finally – let it go. There are circumstances we will not know until we meet Jesus in person. I don’t know how to pray when “I” have pain; so I say The Lords Prayer and it comforts me Continue reading “Questioning Pieces”
Pieces of Purpose
One of my favorite Christian authors is Dr. Charles Stanley, in the March 2016 monthly devotional was this lovely paragraph on March 8th: Whatever the circumstances, we should be evaluating what God is doing in us. Like a gem polisher, He will work off our rough edges by running us up against tough experiences andContinue reading “Pieces of Purpose”
Stronger Pieces
Happy 2016! This year our focus will be on strengthening our faith, looking at challenges with different eyes and learning that God is always, ALWAYS there. No matter what. Romans 4:20 But Abraham never doubted. He believed God, for his faith and trust grew ever stronger, and he praised God for this blessing even beforeContinue reading “Stronger Pieces”
Overwhelming Pieces
Today, a prayer was answered that came from a very heavy heart. I believe when we intensify our prayer time, come to Jesus with everything we have, and all that we do not, with a pure heart and true honesty, when we lay down the hurt, grievances, heartache – God desires to free us fromContinue reading “Overwhelming Pieces”
Pieces of Pain
Pain; whether physical or emotional can be incredibly exhausting. Both take from us what we normally are able to handle. We can pray through most of our heartache, we can take medicine that heals our body or mind, we can even crawl into a cave (literally or figuratively) and hide for a few hours orContinue reading “Pieces of Pain”
Pieces of discontent
There are many times in our life when we are annoyed with others. We feel justified. The world keeps spinning on its axis no matter what is going on with us. God expects us to be patient and kind and loving. ALL, not most of the time. We are not justified, and we all tooContinue reading “Pieces of discontent”
Pieces of Safety
Having traveled through horrible rain and wind for almost 7 hours today, I was thankful to have my faith. I was leaning on the protection of Jesus. He is there for us, however and whenever we need, we just have to remain calm. Calm in the storm. Not all storms are emotional, some really areContinue reading “Pieces of Safety”
