Finding Joy in God’s Presence
The promise, “You will fill me with joy in your presence,” perfectly captures the heart of worship. When we intentionally pause and draw close to God, He pours out His love, hope, and peace—gifts that bring true and lasting joy. This relationship forms a sacred, unbroken circle, but it depends on our willingness to enter…

Giving Up
Ever had the overwhelming desire to just give up? I have those moments all the time, more than I care to admit. But why? I grew up hearing a lot of negative things. So, after hearing it so much I began to believe it. So, my “tape” played the negative whenever I thought I could…
My Plans
I recently had hip surgery. The week before Thanksgiving to be exact. In May, I invited my daughter’s sorority sister to join us for Thanksgiving. I have looked forward to cooking for her for months. I don’t always get to fix a large meal, there’s usually just two of us unless my daughter is home.…
Stress
I’m not very good at catchy titles for my blogs. I type the first thing that comes to mind. Today I’m writing about the stress I experienced yesterday on my way to the She Speaks Studio. It all started out great. Left at the time I wanted. Had packed the night before, even went to…
Disappointed
Since June I have been training for a half marathon. Since April I have been trying to get answers about what is wrong with my hip. I can’t move certain ways. Last week while on vacation I got my answers. I am now facing hip surgery. I have struggled with motivation for years. I am…
Fall with a chance of Snow
It is no secret that I love Fall. The colors of the leaves make me extremely happy. Someone showed me a comedian who was talking about people like me who love the Fall leaves. He was making fun of us loving dying leaves. So, yes, I love to watch the dying leaves morph into such…
Saying Something Stupid
That’s my life in a simple three-word sentence. I heard most of my childhood “Put mind in gear before putting mouth in motion.” I hated that saying because I heard it so much. But at times I have no filter. If I think it, I say it. And boy do I get in trouble when…
WELL PLEASED
Matthew 3:17 “and behold a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’” This first time I ever heard that scripture, it was written on my heart because it was something I longed to hear. As a child, we receive correction and sometimes praise. In my life, encouragement…
Fear of…
My devotion this morning was on fear. When I read it, I thought, “I don’t have a fear that is gripping me, paralyzing me.” But I have experienced it. I had a fear that grabbed me and shook me to the foundation of my faith. It was so bad I had panic attacks when I…
Expectations
I recently went to the beach with the expectation of writing. That was my plan. Apparently that was not God’s plan. His plan was to shower me with gifts so that I could feel Him. He was distracting me. Wonderfully and beautifully distracting me from writing. I had expected to have time to write my…
