Journey of focus

The day before Independence Day, I was preparing my house and yard for guests for our July 4th BBQ. While I was spreading out mulch and pulling weeds, my granddaughter wanted to know why I was doing so much. I told her that I was having a party to celebrate Independence Day, to which she…

So often people talk about or ask, “what is your testimony?”, like what happened, and when did it happen, that brought me to a knowledge, trust, faith, belief, surrender, etc. in Christ? I have written a basic testimony before, but lately it’s been greatly on my mind and so I wonder…. Was it when: Was…

Holy Spirit You are welcome here. Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere. Your glory God is what our hearts long for, to be overcome by Your presence LORD….   This song…specifically these words…. played over and over in my head and heart this evening while we prayed together as a church (Matthew 18:20).…

So on my journey of focus I find myself being continually convicted to “Rejoice in the Lord always, Again I will say, rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4).  I have the choice to be healthy – praise God.

Seasons…Chapters… to some people those two words mean the same thing~life changes. My own journey continues and stagnates and continues again, like most. This is in all categories ~ spiritual, physical, emotional, you understand. Since my last post I was told I will be a Granny again this Fall from one daughter, another daughter got…

As Christmas (and the end of the year) approaches I’ve been looking back on this year’s journey….. many ups and downs.  I started this blog in part to encourage myself along the way, that’s one of the downers.  I’ve been reflecting on where my priorities have been. Unfortunately I must admit I’ve been mostly selfish.…
