I was honored to be chosen as a guest writer for a study called Pursuing Proverbs. Each day in August the Round Farmhouse Ministries had a guest writer share from that chapter in Proverbs on their Facebook page. My chapter was Proverbs 28. I entitled my devotion, Turning from Sin. Here is the link toContinue reading “Turning from Sin”

God has used my garden to teach me some important lessons this year. For some reason one side of my garden is beautiful and growing strong, while the other side is completely barren. It makes me think of the Parable of the Sower. The ground is soft, the seeds find a healthy place, and rootsContinue reading “Lord, Keep my Heart Soft”

I started gardening after my mom died to honor her because she loved gardening so much. God has used it to talk to me a lot lately. This last time it was about seeds and how to plant them. After planting my flowers, I discovered I was impatient and would go out every couple ofContinue reading “Planting the Seeds of Truth”

When you are gardening you learn the difference between weeding and trimming. I talked about wedding in one of my older posts. It was easy to think about, no one wants the bad stuff in our life. However, God has helped me see that even trimming of the “good” is required to keep our heartsContinue reading “Prune my Heart, O Lord”

When my mom was sick and had trouble breathing I use to pray for God to be her breath and provide her with the air she needed. Just as he breathed life into Adam I wanted him to continue breathing life into mom. Now I am realizing that should be my prayer for all ofContinue reading “Breath of Life”

I love how God paints a beautiful picture of His love for us in Scripture. Today when I was reading Isaiah 41 I couldn’t help but pause and reread verse 13.  When children get scared parents often reach out and hold their hands to comfort them. It is a way of saying, “I have you,Continue reading “Holding Hands with God”

Weeding my garden yesterday made me think about the importance of allowing God to search our hearts and weed out the thoughts and areas that may have started to steal our joy. Weeding is an important task to do in gardening. It is time-consuming, and no one likes to do it; however, it is necessaryContinue reading “Search Me, O God”

Sometimes in life, it is so easy to think what is the point. However, even when things are happening that you don’t understand when life feels like it is falling apart around you, God is there. He hears the prayers of his children. I cannot explain why things happen the way they do but IContinue reading “My Jesus”

Three steps, I will not say easy steps, but God promises to be with us through these steps. Step 1: Rejoice in HopeHope is ours for the taking. Our faith in Jesus will give us Hope. Hope for a better time, Hope for an eternity worshipping our God. Hope for a world with no moreContinue reading “Rejoice in Tribulations”

I am a recovering Control Freak. I say recovering because as with any other addiction you have to learn to fight it every day. I always would justify my need for control by saying I was just trying to make sure everything was good for everyone.  I was the fixer in the family. I thoughtContinue reading “Letting Go of Control”
