April 23, 2022 As I sat in my car after church, the question came to mind: why were we always told to pray secretly? The reason given is that Satan would hear and that he would answer especially if it’s outside of God’s will. Essentially we don’t want to give Satan ammunition to tempt us. …
I Love You to You and Back
April 23, 2022 So a weird thing happened early this morning. My phone rang. My phone goes to bedtime mode early in the evening and is on vibrate even when it is not. But I awoke to my phone vibrating with a call from California. I did not answer it. Then I saw a …
The Tired Questions of Life
April 22, 2022 The sun hasn’t even set yet and all I want to do is crawl into bed. But I also have to put on new sheets and I’m sitting here contemplating life. And not even major life events. Questions like: Do I truly have to let go the dogs? Do I have …
Another Side to Any Story
April 22, 2022 There is always another side to any story. What I heard and perceived. What you heard and perceived. What they heard and perceived. And what Yahweh knows. One of the things I’m learning to do is ask, “What does this mean to you?” or “What did you see?” Because you and …
Robes of Restoration
April 22, 2022 It will take a dozen lifetimes to truly study every scripture from the Bible and study it and divine every possible meaning from it. Scripture is un-endingly complex. But so is its author. That’s why he wants us to spend eternity in his presence: our short lifespan won’t allow us to …
Perspective of a Familiar Story
April 21, 2022 I am always shocked when I see another perspective of a familiar story ( smh, why am I shocked? I need to stop being surprised at being surprised). I’m not a great study theologian. At times when I study, Yahweh reveals something new to me. Other times he uses others to …
The Craziest Thing: Walking Forward Despite the Fear
April 21, 2022 The craziest thing happened today. I signed up for an Instagram account. Like what? No lie. I’m scared. I’ve stayed out of social media for so long and in one week signed up for two. The thing is, when Yahweh asks you to move – you move (just like that). Yahweh, …
A Million and Two Ways of Restoration
April 21, 2022 You are the God of restoration. You discipline, correct, teach, plead with your people when we go astray (as we seem prone to do). We may (may?!!) have to go through the consequences of our disobedience, but in every instance, despite our hard-headedness, once we turn our face to you, you …
The Way We Deserved
April 20, 2022 Yahweh has never treated us the way we deserved. If he did, he would not have even created us. He literally loved us before we were formed. The truth is though, so many years have been focused on Yahweh’s judgement that it’s what so many of us see when we look …
The Learning Curve
April 20, 2022 Yahweh, why does everything have to have such a learning curve? But I will learn. Be my strength Yahweh. Deep breaths. Truthfully the morning was okay and I’m thankful for that (despite the mango and the snake). Thank you for your help. Yes it’s still weird to think of you as a …
