Everyday conversations with Jesus
I start my week by bringing my concerns to God. This particular week I was weighed down with remembering what didn't go well last week. For example: I raised my voice when my daughter gave me a sassy reply and I didn't do well providing nutritious meals for my family. These failures weighed heavily on... Continue Reading →
This morning as I watched the sunrise, I was all bundled up in a cozy blanket. I warmed my hands with my cup of coffee, which had just the right amount of cream in it. On the outside, everything seemed right with my world. But on the inside, my mind started to wander. Sadly, it... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I wonder about what I'm not praying about! It seems like my daily prayers are so narrow and hit only a few things (subjects). For example: I pray about my family's safety all the time, I pray for wisdom for everything going on in my week, and at certain times of year I pray... Continue Reading →
Sometimes living with someone who has ADHD and/or other special needs can be frustrating. OK, it is frustrating! Some days more so than others. And I'm really frustrated! It's been one of those weeks. Do they need a different medication or just a dosage change for the same medication? How can I be more consistent?... Continue Reading →
I'm taking care of the family you have entrusted to me. It's no easy task, Lord! But thank you for them. Thank you I have something so special to care for: my family. It is normal for my 8 year old daughter and I to be together all day. I've noticed that near the end... Continue Reading →
I just read the article "What is the Perfect Age?". I've actually been thinking about that lately. On the west coast of the USA people are saying 47 is the perfect age.

I am trying to "Be still and know you are God." I sit there knowing we are both waiting for things in my life and in our world to work out. You are Lord of the universe and you've got this. Heaven is your throne, Earth is your footstool which means everything I'm dealing with... Continue Reading →
Here I stand before a new year, oh Lord. Please let me remember you are close by and I can depend on you for anything that comes up. This morning I’m feeling especially foggy brained because of the anti inflammatory diet I started right after Christmas. When I cut carbs and sugar from my diet... Continue Reading →
You know my thoughts and actions. I’m so glad I don’t have to explain them to you. If I were in a talking mood, you would gladly listen. Today, I’m just not. Know my heart loves you. I just want to be close to you. That is my heart. God’s word to us: Sometimes I... Continue Reading →
It saddens me to see my family members picking on each other. The younger antagonizes the other members of the family, and the older says hurtful things. We have a pause button on the remote and use it all the time when someone wants to say something while we're watching a movie. Last night, one family... Continue Reading →
