Encouraging Women to Passionately Pursue God
I sat at the wheel, “throwing clay,” dreaming of the vase I would create. My mind’s eye knew how it would look: the height to accommodate roses, the diameter to allow air exchange, and the gentle curve of the lip, just thick enough to withstand an accidental bump. Round and round that wheel whirled, spinning…
“For He will command His Angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” Psalm 91:11 While vacationing with my family in Washington D.C. one summer, we did a vast amount of walking. At certain times, it was necessary to carry our youngest child. One such moment as I carried her in front of…
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.16 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:…
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day. 6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. 7 Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you. 8 Just…

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 Tired? I bet we can all answer that affirmatively. The mental stress of living in a pandemic wears a person out, body and soul. I need rest. I bet you do too. We all need…
How’re you doing? Really. Are you shocked, confused, bewildered? Trying to stay positive for those around you, knowing maybe, (like me) it’s an uphill battle to keep a sincere smile upon your face? Late one afternoon I sat in my room, just having closed my computer for the day. The ‘official’ workday ended; time to…
5:00 am: the birdsong wakens me. The sweet chirping is so innocent. The birds have no concerns as they chorus to welcome another day. They are not worried about the world, about a virus plaguing the earth, instilling fear, stealing joy and claiming lives. The sky is still dark and my eyes cannot see the…
Are you tired of staying in the same place, with the same people (or lack thereof!)? Are you wishing to go somewhere, anywhere, to do something, anything! Most of us are bored of staying home, waiting for this too, to pass. I wonder if God ever watches us, wishing we would stop staying in the…
“Mom!” A common call as my daughters filter through the door after school. Sometimes, that one word is carried in a tone of distress, said slowly, indicating it was not a great day.
