Goodness of God

Posted in Devotional Thoughts on August 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »

The children of Israel.  It is so easy to be critical of them.  Those of us with the advantage of knowing the whole story sometimes lack empathy for their situation.  We are just amazed that they would have the audacity to complain when they’ve just been rescued from slavery in Egypt. 
God has brought them out [...]

The Wilderness Way

I have read the story of Moses leading the children of Israel through the wilderness many times.  Now, I’m reading it again.  As I have been reading through the Word, I have continually prayed for new insight.  I don’t want to just know the stories the way I did as a child.  I want God [...]

The Baby in the Basket

I feel like I am currently wrestling with God. 
I think God is leading me in a certain direction, but I struggle with not knowing all of the details.  I’m afraid to commit without knowing the long term plan.  I question whether or not I am understanding God correctly.  Every time I think I know what [...]

It is 5:15 on Saturday morning.  What goes on in your house at 5:15 Saturday morning?
Well, in this house…

That is my Emily…my early riser…the one who wakes me up at 5:00 in the morning whispering in my ear…Mommy, Can I play on the pooter?  I don’t know where she gets this attachment to the computer…

Hmm…who [...]

In the Waiting…

I’m waiting.  Something I just am not good at doing.  I have no doubt that God is trying to teach me patience and increase my faith in Him.  Still, that doesn’t seem to make the waiting any easier.  I get frustrated so easily. 
Five years.  Five years of praying for one specific thing and it seems [...]

Gratituesday: My Darling Hubby

Posted in Gratituesday on August 5, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Today I am very grateful for a husband who truly loves me. 
For a long time, I thought I would never be married.  I saw too many marriages full of anger and pain and it just didn’t appeal to me.  Oh, but God was smiling the whole time.  He knew he had someone for me and, [...]
