The Heart of the Matter

In November we set aside time to be thankful. This requires reflection. Personally I’m not a fan of self-analysis to discover my feelings. In counseling, I understand the importance of doing so for therapeutic purposes. Yet I tend to be driven more by logic and just want my emotions to stay in their box whereContinue reading “The Heart of the Matter”

How to Inspire When Uninspired

I endeavor to create an article for my blog, “Author Inspirations,” at least once a month. In October, I would ask myself “What inspiration do I have right now?” A thought or two might flitter across my consciousness, but nothing I could latch on to. That ball effectively dropped as the month expired, I’m leftContinue reading “How to Inspire When Uninspired”

What Are You Waiting For?

There’s a lesson that The Holy Spirit keeps returning to me over this past month. Let me first confess that the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22&23) that I most have to strive for is patience. Often, if I am not moving forward I become apprehensive. My husband bought me a spa pamper session forContinue reading “What Are You Waiting For?”

The Favorite Child

Anyone who has more than one child knows how they can become jealous of each other. Often I would ask my littles which of two meals they would like for dinner. Inevitably one would choose one and the other the second. I would ultimately have to make the decision and it would sometimes result inContinue reading “The Favorite Child”

The Hands of My Father

Since my father’s passing I have not been sure what Father’s Day will hold for me as far as my experience. Although, now that I think about it, I’ve never quite been sure what to do with this “holiday.” The circumstances of my broken family meant that I spent most of my life separated fromContinue reading “The Hands of My Father”

Spiritual Mail Carriers

Oftentimes the Lord uses His people to carry His words to others. Either to someone far from Him spiritually, or who are in a circumstance where they are not open to hearing from Him directly. Perhaps it may also be that the Lord knows certain people who can get across to others with a voiceContinue reading “Spiritual Mail Carriers”

The Godhead

The idea of the Trinity is a difficult concept to grasp, and therefore explain. As Christians we have a monotheistic faith in that there is one God. However, when we break it down into the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, it seems like a polytheistic belief. How does one express how they areContinue reading “The Godhead”

When to Say When

Let’s be honest. At the restaurant, when the waiter says those two words “say when” we have all thought let’s see how far I can take this. It’s a test of limits between how much we really need to be satisfied, and how much they are willing to dish out. Sometimes in our pursuit ofContinue reading “When to Say When”

Great is Thy Faithfulness

“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him’” Lamentations 3: 22-24   When I wake in the morning I do my best to catch myselfContinue reading “Great is Thy Faithfulness”
