Friday Faves

This week's Friday Faves centers around relationships. Women especially need to connect with other women. We need to laugh together, to talk, to learn and grow from each other. A recent church ladies fellowship provided one of those special times, to listen, laugh and learn.


Our ladies meeting centered around the Titus 2 concept where the older women share godly wisdom from life experience and bring encouragement to the younger women. We learned every woman is 'an older woman' to someone! This is one of our church's Titus 2 women.  We had a wonderful time listening to her share from God's Word and from her life, how to trust the Lord at all times.


A workplace in-service day brought together ladies who serve and minister in 2 locations for a time of reflection, purpose and direction.  Of course lots of food and fellowship followed.  I'm so thankful to be a part of a workplace filled with godly women with true hearts to minister.  


My youngest son, now a teenage driver!  I'm getting used to being chauffeured around and the changes this age brings.  He has always been a country boy, boots, jeans, t-shirts and caps.  Since starting on the golf team, he is incorporating some shades, khaki shorts and visors.  I think it is just adorable!


Of course we are approaching my favorite time of the year - fall.  Finished up the decorations for my house and am loving being surrounded by vibrant colors, candles and pumpkins.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Word-Filled Wednesday

I love participating in Word Filled Wednesday . This is hosted over at 160 acrewoods and is designed to share God's Word with verse and picture. Go over and take a peek - you will be blessed! The verse I chose for today is one of my favorite verses. A while back during an intense trial of watching a loved one struggle with addiction - ready to lose everything over the addiction, I read this verse and it spoke to my heart clearly. Without God - there is no hope, the things of this world will leave you empty and void. Chasing after the things of the world is like chasing the wind, you just can't grasp it. But in God there is hope. Even though the trial may be tough and challenging, God is hope and He will fill you with peace and joy as you believe in Him and you will abound in hope. May your day be blessed and filled with HOPE!
