Graced For This: Contingency
“…And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others]” Genesis 12:2c AMP One of my favorite past times is reading. Books have always been my means of escape… as a child when I could not physically remove myself from unfavorable situations, was in need of a challenge I’d pick up a…

E way
The writer in me hasn’t exhausted her pen. The woman in me hasn’t expired in the wait. The worshiper I am is expectant of His glory, greatness, goodness and grace.

“Just Let Me Cry” ~Violet Burns Crosby
My niece Violet was crying and her mother was trying to help soothe her by asking an assortment of questions and offering possible fixes or alternatives to what she thought/felt would appease her.

Shall We Pray
Back in the day, old time church we prayed until things changed…we did not let up or ease up when it looked better…we prayed until it was better. Somewhere along the way we lost the art of tarrying. We bought into the whole name it and cliam it phenomenon. I get it human effort doesn’t…

When God Says No
Someone asked me to pray the other day and I told them “you might want to ask someone else”. Needless to say, they looked at me like I lost my mind. Not disturbed or bothered by their response I bowed my head and closed my eyes and waited for the prayer to begin. After a…

Knowing Love
How I see/view you greatly affects how I interact with you. This can be/ work to the positive or negative based upon my filter/previous experience with others. I must get to know you before I can trust, have faith in, depend on or put any weight on the things you are teaching/communicating with me. At…

Praying the Promise
Surveying the land and all I see is mounds and mounds of dirt in no particular formation. The land appears to be dry, damaged, desolate, destitute, and dead. I’m tempted to look away, to pretend not to notice what’s surrounding my purpose, sorrowing my person, and swaying my passion. Indifference, indignation, and intelligence scrutinize its…
