Daily Bread

Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, I am asking for your hand of protection on me.  I’m asking for direction.  I’m waiting for you to reveal your plans for me.  And I am praying for a heart that can forgive.  I’m praying that you will lead me and that I can make it through this day without tears, [...]

Christmas Time Is Here

Most people love Christmas….well, I think they do.  Lots of shopping and presents and fun parties.  Family traditions and travel and being with the ones you love.  That’s what’s on the commercials, right?  Happiness and Cheer?
I have a hard time with Christmas.  Two years ago, on Christmas Eve my husband told me he wanted a [...]

Room to Grow

I’m already calling it MY house – we actually close in a few weeks.  But anyway – we know it’s ours and we’re ready to make it ours.
Anyway – my point is…  This is the biggest house we have ever owned.  It’s also the most expensive.  It costs more than our first and second house [...]

Daily Bread

When I started this blog I was sharing my day and then also writing out my prayers.  I haven’t done that in a long while and I know that when I don’t make time to pray or reflect on God’s purpose in my life … I begin to grow far away from him.  Today I was a [...]

The Lord is AMAZING!

Life is soooo good….The Lord Is totally in control of things – and He meets so many needs!
On Monday morning I said to my husband “I think I’m ready to start my job search”.  So while we were out he stopped at a newspaper stand and got me a paper so I could look through [...]

Daily Bread

Today the devotional that I have sent to me via email challenged me to spend 10 minutes a day with God.  I try to pray every day but I know I’m not in the word as much as I should be.  And it’s that knowledge that lead me to get on here and thank God [...]

Friend in Need

My friend Dena just left the area, she moved to Nevada with her family.  On the way, she stopped in her hometown in California to let her mom dog sit for her.  With husband and kids it would be difficult to find a house to live in etc so it made sense to leave him [...]

Daily Bread

I just read my entry “How I Became Striking” and had to be reminded that I need to let go of things I can’t control.  I’m handing it over – I’m giving the stress and the drama to God.  Let’s pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, I ask that you take away my anger, my disappointment, my sadness [...]

Daily Bread

Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, you blessed me so richly this weekend – and during a time when I was tired and overwhelmed with all of the stuff I had to do – you reminded me that you are still on the throne.  Just that phrase alone was enough to change my perception of my day.
Thank you [...]

Daily Bread – A Narrative….

I looked back at a few of my ‘daily bread’ entries an I was really impressed with my prayers.  Is it bad to have pride about my prayers???  Anyway, I needed to read the prayers of praise and thanks.  And looking back gives me a calm and a peace – that I made it through some [...]
