Oh, dear Jesus, keep me connected to you, fully ingrafted, all the fiber of my being mixed with yours so that we are one as You and Your Father are one.
Strengthening our “bones” - both physically and spiritually
I was at the grocery store a few days ago and saw this petite, elderly woman trying to shop. She had to walk almost like she was doing the limbo, kind of side-saddling to get into the cooler compartment where the eggs were kept, and then she kind of maneuvered herself to bend very far forward to get something further down on a different shelf. I felt for her. And honestly, I said a prayer, asking the Lord to please strengthen my bones so I wouldn’t become her.
Looking back, looking forward
I find myself wondering about the lessons that God wanted me to learn this past year, and whether or not I learned them well. Did I listen to His still small voice? Not that He is ever small, but in His tenderness and kindness, He speaks to me gently. Did I heed, or brush off His instruction, help, correction, or needful truth?

Pain in the Sunshine
I wrote this piece during the most painful days of my breast cancer journey when I was healing from the cumulative effects of five weeks of radiation therapy.
I See…
God encourages our hearts at just the right time!
My piece titled, “I See…” was something that came to me one fall several years ago when we were deeply in the thick of our kids’ chronic illnesses. It was a time when my son had to pull back from his homeschooling classes —again— and I had long cries with God over scary symptoms and so many not yet answered prayers.

The story behind “Yellow Buttercup” — a piece featured in my book Journey into Trust.
I got off the phone knowing that the conversation I just had was a gift from God Himself and we stepped out in faith to follow this nurse’s generous advice. For our son, it turned out that UVBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation) was a game changer. The seven treatments he did allowed his immune system to finally see the stealth infections that had haunted him and gave his body the boost it needed to overcome. But it was the gift of that small flower with its gleaming yellow petals that gave me the hope and strength I needed to press ahead and keep fighting the good fight!
