The inspiration this week started with a prompt from a friend who shared with me how last week’s poem was a “holy echo” with what he was experiencing in his life at that time. The term “holy echo” made me smile…and got me pondering a new poem! So I started prayerfully writing. And this is…
There are times when I wonder if God is listening…does He really hear me? But when I remember those piercing moments of peace, or those timely moments of clarity, or those unexpected and unexplained moments of calm, it’s then I’m convinced He’s with me and He hears me. I tried to capture those thoughts in…
Last week I focused on legacy…shining God’s light and sharing His love…and this week I’m focused on God’s promise to generously provide all that we need to live out the legacy He desires for each of us. When I think of that promise, I’m deeply grateful…for His provision, His protection, His promises, His presence, His…

The peace we long for can seem way beyond our reach as we struggle alone with the apprehension or frustration or irritation of things happening in our lives today. Thankfully, God’s Word assures us that when we seek Him, we find Him, and when we release our burdens to Him, we receive His peace: “Peace”…
There are many moments I forget how close God truly is. But the more I seek, the more I find His presence everywhere and His fingerprints on everything – in creation for sure; in that unexpected moment where someone calls at that perfect time with the perfect comment; in that reminder of what God has…
