Relinquishing Control
It’s Another Favorite Worship Song!
This song takes me right to the heart of God. I’d heard the song before, but hadn’t ever really tried to play/sing it. But, when I decided to work on it for worship, the words came alive. It begins with the proclamation, “I love You Lord, oh Your mercy never fails me”. Simple yet so …
How Has Your Faith Been Deepened?
It's been said that God works in mysterious ways, and I certainly believe this. My devotional this morning took me back to a blog post I recently wrote about keeping your eyes on Jesus. The writer of the devotional said that he believed: ...that experience deepened Peter’s faith and made him willing to take great …
Keep Your Eyes Fixed Upon Jesus
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me?" Matthew 14:30 Life's going along just great!

Mornings on my deck with God's beautiful creations before me. I love it when the mornings are cool enough to go on our back deck and read the Scriptures for the day or write on my blog. I am surrounded by woods with the birds singing and being buzzed by the hummingbirds who come for …

What Do You See?
Don't be anxious about anything; but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
