  Writing for the Lord fills my heart with SO much joy---although I will admit that I sometimes try to be too technical & that can totally ruin my creative process.  I live for the moments that can be used for His glory.  And tonight, I have a little story and a thought that the Lord placed on my heart to share.  Now, I know this is the question that everyone has on their minds as they're seeing this random photograph of a pair of broken glasses.  Why would I choose to share that?  These aren't my glasses....but I did manage to break my own last night.  Those glasses have sat on my head for a total of six years (I am way past due for an eye examination.) but I will honestly admit that I had been careless with them long before this ever happened. I lived with the worst habit of leaving them lying around in random places, never remembering where they were on any given day.  Until finally, I sat on them and *snap*  It was a clean break. (Com...

I have kept this thought on my heart for a while now (honestly even before Christmas celebrations ever began) & I have pondered over where to even start with it but I do sometimes make writing for the Lord too technical. The best of what He has given me has only ever come from the heart. ❤️ Have you ever dealt with a laptop that just won't cooperate?  I cannot begin to tell you how many seasons of laptops that I have lived through in the four years of college and 10+ years of writing. They all eventually meet the exact same fate:  Pages won't load as efficiently. The battery won't keep its charge. The smallest task becomes its greatest challenge.  However, the most agonizing death for a computer is to have a virus absolutely consume the entire operating system, effectively rendering the device completely unusable.  At that point it becomes necessary to attempt a factory reset. It essentially wipes your operating system completely clean & provides it with a mu...

 Three days stand between the world and the happening of another Christmas. I truly LOVE everything about the month of December, and I find the season of gift-giving both exciting and heartwarming. Nothing compares to the beauty of a well-decorated tree and precious time spent with loved ones.  So much about the season is wonderful but the commercialism surrounding the holiday so often leaves many hearts forgetting the actual reason for the season. That reason would be the birth of Jesus. We celebrate Him on this precious day (and we should honor Him with each day that we live, but that is another thought for another time) I have thought a lot about gift-giving. I love to buy practical gifts; items someone uses daily and something that they truly need.  As the word 'practical' has continually swirled around in my thoughts, I couldn't help but remember Isaiah 9:6; the sweet and powerful reminder of who Jesus is and how exciting and amazing His birth was.  I can imagin...

 Everyone who follows me knows how much I LOVE Scripture Writing & the month of November carries the theme of gratitude. 🧡 I always enjoy reading through and studying the entire passage of Scripture that includes the verse that I wrote out for that particular day. I had the opportunity to read through all of Psalm 136 yesterday evening and it was such a blessing to my heart! It was a wonderful account of God's enduring mercy throughout several different challenging situations. I thought of every circumstance where God has given me the victory; every battle of mine that He has fought ever so graciously. The strength of His unfailing mercy is what truly carried me through it all.  I have also had the song "No Need to Doubt Him Now" on my heart for the past few days & I just wanted to share a little reminder with you today:  Your current circumstances may seem overwhelming but you can trust that Jesus is near and that He will never fail in fighting for you. He has c...

The Lord initially placed the desire on my heart to write about the journey of change throughout the month of October. I never imagined that another installment would follow into November or that I would love its phrasing even more than the first. It was the greatest blessing to be able to share the story of my journey with PCOS and it was even more wonderful to see Him apply it metaphorically through my discussion of salvation and all of what it entails. Romans 8:28 will forever be my favorite life verse.  While the first installment touched on reflections of change, I couldn't help but remember the briefly mentioned low-carb diet that I was instructed to begin shortly after my diagnosis (and I can tell you it lasted all of three days before I caved.) I didn't possess enough self-control to stick with it.) The foundational bones of today's message revolve around the requirement of change .  While physical dieting is necessary in order to maintain a healthy body, the stat...

There's SO much joy to be found in allowing the Lord to use those little life stories of ours all for His glory.  Writing out devotionals and short stories will forever be my favorite...but I love sharing the few fun parts of my childhood. And it's on my heart to talk about my beloved trampoline.  I spent six summers on it & loved every minute of it. I bounced from daylight until dark. I think I must have only stopped for food or bathroom breaks. It was so much fun.  I truly believe that level of exercise is what kept me from growing up into a wheelchair. What was built into my leg muscles was a foundation of strength that has carried me through every season of life that my heart will forever be thankful for.  My body still struggles with cerebral palsy, of course, but I am thankful that my legs are as strong as they are. I can still comfortably walk over a mile on my treadmill on days when I'm in the mood to really push myself. My legs may be wobbly on those oth...
