Experiencing God’s Presence Daily
Isaiah and David demonstrated a remarkable depth of understanding about God—an intimacy that often eludes us in our fast-paced, distraction-filled lives. Their declarations in Scripture, such as “God is ________,” were not merely words but heartfelt affirmations born out of daily encounters with God. They understood God as their strength, salvation, song, and provider, depending…

Oh Peter
It is the season of focusing on the journey to the cross. But today I find myself thinking about Peter. Peter, the source of such faith. Peter, the man who understood who Jesus was and still denied him. Peter was called to follow Jesus and become fishers of men. (Luke 5:3-11) We find him fishing…
Missing In Action…
October 2018 was a trying time in my life. My mammogram came back with something abnormal. This is nothing new for me, but things seemed different from the start. I wrote about it for weeks on end (or at least it seemed that way). Wait six months and start the process over. Six months of…
Chasing God
This is the last week of a Bible Study that started in January. The study was “Chase Study, Chasing after the heart of God” by Jennie Allen. In wrapping up, it asked the question, “what has most convicted you while studying the life of David?” As I read the question and the ones that came…
My Aunts
My Mother had two sisters, she was the middle child. (She had that middle child mentality too). My Mother was definitely different than her sisters. All three had a strong will about them, we called it the Barfield effect. Adoration of a child is the best way I can describe my feelings for my aunts.…
Judas
It is Lenten time. I am reading a book for Lent this year. It is designed to help you focus on Christ, not just during Easter. We do that, don’t we? Only focus on Christ during the two major holidays surrounding him. My reading for today was John 12:1-11. This is where Mary anointed Christ…
Glimmer of Hope
Have you ever thought a situation was hopeless? Did you lose hope in reaching someone? I have and my response to it was not like I wanted it to be. I prayed about it, but without hope. I prayed without much faith. Me, the person of great faith, had little faith and little hope. Why…
A Marathon Weekend
I openly claim my ADD. Most of the time I am not hyper, but every now and then I become excited and then the hyper shows up. This past weekend is a good example. I got to Orlando and headed straight for registration for the Half Marathon on Sunday. Having never been to a runner’s…
Mental Illness…suicide awareness
Those two words make everyone stop in their tracks. No one is willing to admit they suffer from mental illness. I do. (Yes, I can hear all the jokes, so stop doing that.) I suffer from depression. As a teenager I did not understand depression. I was bullied by a person I considered a friend.…
Unforgettable
Have you ever met someone who you connect with instantly? Or someone who stirs trouble continuously? Or is just unforgettable? Yes, we all have. But what is the reason that certain people leave an impression on us? I met someone several years ago that I connected with and developed a friendship. I noticed that when…
