Are you wondering if God has forgotten about you? He hasn't. Not ever.
If God were to send you a message, I think He’d write something like the words in this note.
Swimming Against the Waves
Swimming against the waves? God is ALWAYS bigger than our situation. He draws us out of the deep waters.
Fit, Fun, and Fabulous
So I joined a Get Fit Boot Camp at my local YMCA. Good grief. I must have really been feeling motivated to kick some butt when I did that! And now that motivation needs to turn into action. Ooftah. When I work out on my own, or with a trainer, I think I’m doing quite well. How do I know? Everything hurts and I thank God for every breath I’m still able to take. And I’m only horizontal when the trainer tells me to get on the
God’s Strength – A Place to Relax
I watched the mother carry her young daughter down the sidewalk. The little girl’s legs were wrapped around her mother’s waist; pink leggings and white tennis shoes dangling in complete relaxation. Her tiny soft arms curled around her mother’s neck while her chin rested on the strong shoulder of the one who had carried her since conception. It was a picture of strength and relaxation. I want someone to carry me like that. Today it would feel good to not be responsible, to not make decisions. I don’t want

God, Help My Unbelief
God, I don’t understand random acts of violence. I don’t understand people shooting other people because they disagree. I don’t understand children bullying other children. I don’t understand cancer. These things make me angry. And sad. I know you are Trustworthy. And I know I should and can trust you. Today it is harder to do that. God, please forgive me for my lack of trust. Please forgive me for my unbelief. For those in our country today who lost loved ones in the senseless shooting in Arizona, For those
Watch for JOY
Sometimes I just make life too hard. And making it too hard steals my joy. Not a good thing. It’s so easy to get caught up in the busy-ness, crazy-ness. and messy-ness that’s part of living in the real world. Can you relate to this? That’s when I need to remember that Jesus came to give us life – a full life, a rich life, a joy-filled life! (John 10:10) So today… Let’s look for joy. A giggle… A smile… A warm word… A thank you… A memory from
A Prayer for the New Year
I love January 1st. Everything about it says new beginnings…dreams to be fulfilled…aspirations to be realized…love to be shared. I found the devotional below on a website called Appleseeds. It’s my prayer as we enter 2011. Thank you for sharing the journey with me. “A Morning Wish” by W.R. Hunt. “The sun is just rising on the morning of another day, the first day of the new year. What can I wish that this day, that this year, may bring to me? Nothing that shall make the
“What if I had Given Everything instead of Going Through the Motions?”
“What if I had given everything instead of going through the motions?” (Matthew West). What if there is more to life than the rut? More surprises. More risks. More big deep breaths that remind us that life can be big and God is even bigger.
Psalm 23: God is my Shepherd, so Nothing Shall I Want
Today I celebrated the life and legacy of my friend Ann’s mom. Angeline Yelich was loved very much. Her husband, children, and grandchildren shared stories, laughter, and many tears as they reflected on who she was. During the Funeral Mass we sang the 23rd Psalm. The words were a little different from the versions I’m used to, and they were just perfect for the day. Perhaps you are weary, sad, or feeling lost. May these words bring you comfort. God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I
Living with Purpose (And Getting Healthier): Learn from Those who Live It
Spending any time in the kitchen is not usually a good time for me. But in my commitment to getting healthier, I spent an hour this morning cutting up fruits and veggies. (I count this as “cooking.” Steve says it really isn’t because no water was boiled and the oven wasn’t on.) I can read, and have read, a lot of books and blogs on getting fit and staying healthy. I love buying cookbooks – just don’t know what to do with them. I love listening to CDs,
