When We Need To Be Reminded Of The Personal Relationship With Our Heavenly Father
Sometimes when I just want familiarity I put aside the shiny new things and reach for the old torn worn and written upon.

I Believe; Help My Unbelief
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 This verse keeps going through my mind lately.

First and foremost is God's love for us. If I can live, work, rest, create, love others, essentially do all I do from this center of knowledge -that I am a beloved child of God; I believe then I will realize and fulfill all that God so lovingly and carefully created me for. I know… Continue reading You Are Beloved

Sense of Smell
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place, for we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 We are the aroma of life.… Continue reading Sense of Smell
