New and shiny pieces

This blog is still a blog, but it’s now a website too!  I will be doing a lot of tweaking in the next week to make it easier to read with biblical resources.  If you ever want to guest blog here, please let me know.  (dawnhuberty@yahoo.com) I wanted to write about “all that glitters isn’tContinue reading “New and shiny pieces”

Icicles

Out my window I see a very large icicle, dripping.  It will likely be gone in a couple of hours, for today – the temp is heading to 40.  But it is winter here in the heartland and tonight it will get cold enough to freeze drips, turning them back into icicles. Icicles remind meContinue reading “Icicles”

Pieces of Thanksgiving

While exploring the various celebrations of Thanksgiving in the U.S., I discovered I didn’t know actual facts.  If you are interested in the true meaning, read on:  Why we celebrate Thanksgiving Tomorrow many people will sit down with family and friends and share in the gifts of food, laughter and conversation.  Some are serving ourContinue reading “Pieces of Thanksgiving”

Location pieces

You’ve heard it before: Location, location, location.  Where  your business is located, or your home, the school your children attend, walking distance from here to there — depends greatly on location. I have finally after 52 years, GOT THE LESSON!!!  It does not matter where you worship; it merely matters THAT YOU DO!!! Yesterday IContinue reading “Location pieces”

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”

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”

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 Contentment

Are we ever really content?  Do we go from one thing to the next?  Is our calendar perpetually filled? Do we believe that tomorrow will be better instead of focusing on what is good today? Psalm 39:5-6  My life is no longer than my hand! My whole lifetime is but a moment to you. ProudContinue reading “Pieces of Contentment”

Pieces of Attitude

An attitude to chase after what is good and right, is an expectation that God has for us.  I offer all that I have, up to you, Father – please teach me. Philippians 3:15 All of us who are spiritually mature should have this same attitude. But if some of you have a different attitude,Continue reading “Pieces of Attitude”

Pieces of Calm

We do not have to sit idly by waiting for the storm, it’s okay, really; perfectly okay to have periods of calm, without expectation of the hammer dropping or circumstances changing. Psalm 107:29  He calms the storm and stills the waves. Daniel 10:19  “God loves you very much,” he said; “don’t be afraid! Calm yourself;Continue reading “Pieces of Calm”
