Journal the Journey

While reading through Deuteronomy, I am seeing two major arteries, two sources of life without which death is imminent. These arteries are running so exposed throughout this Old Testament book that holds so many hidden treasures. The people, God’s chosen ones, are being instructed by Moses on how to worship, what laws to follow, and other Continue reading

Midnight. Lately I have been so burdened by the pain being felt by so many innocent children as the result of the brokenness of this world. I even feel like it’s my job to do something huge regarding the orphan crisis and malnutrition and preventable diseases all plaguing Africa. I try to figure out in Continue reading

Why are you here? What are you living for? What’s the meaning of this life, what are you meant to accomplish? When I looked up “purpose” in the back of my Bible, I was surprised by the lack of scriptures that reference this word. And even more notable was the fact that the times it Continue reading

I almost forgot to “muse” tonight, but thankfully that wonderful husband of mine reminded me. I’ve had a lot in my mind and on my heart lately, but I struggle with which thoughts to try to share in just 15 minutes. I honestly knew this would be hard, this faithfully blogging each day, but I Continue reading

That’s my nickname for her. We sat there at the ice cream stand, enjoying the first warm day in March after week upon week of freezing temperatures and dreary, rainy days.

“When I feel inadequate and like a failure… I must be careful to not equate that to mean that God sees me as an inadequate failure. I’m so tired of living my life all too aware of my shortcomings and my sins, and my inability to keep my promise that I will be a better Continue reading

I love to write. Most of my writings are contained within the pages of various journals I’ve collected throughout the years. Some of my writings are saved in Word documents, or in the Note app on my phone, or on random pieces of paper throughout the house. I am so disorganized when it comes to Continue reading

It is way past my bedtime on this beautiful Wednesday night and I have spent far too long trying to make my internet connection work again. It worked perfectly all night until now. But I’m not going to let that stop me… So here I am, my fifteen minutes ticking away, with burning eyes and Continue reading

“This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.” – Isaiah 30:15 (NLT) I sat here in silence staring at my computer screen, waiting for at Continue reading
