The other day, I was freaking out about something that happened at work. I wasn’t even aware my breathing had become shallow. My co-worker gently touched my arm, looked me in the eye and said, “Just breathe.” That was some good advice I really needed. The next morning, I woke up to the same words rolling around in my head, “Just breathe.” The Holy Spirit was reminding me of some really good advice, even before my feet hit […]
Living a Life of Love
I have been very frustrated lately. Frustrated with a particular situation in my life that does not appear to be changing, frustrated at work, frustrated with my family, just downright frustrated! Have you ever felt this way? Today, I would like us to look at what we can learn from this feeling and how to move passed it.

It reminded me of that verse about God making all things new. Which leads us here, to this blog. God amazes me how He is always connecting the dots. God is making all things new. From eggs to chicks, […]
