Lost Letters

  During my quiet time this morning I was journaling -turned to the happenings of the world. I wrote-‘well, seems there may be no question of us being near or in end times.’ When I was younger and having babies I would wonder if I or my children or grandchildren would be the generation     that would experience what’s been prophesied and speculated as the “end times.” Speculation of when, not if.   Honestly, I can’t say I’m anxious about it all, more of an anticipatory feeling. While I’ve said I’m unsure of what we may endure leading up to His return, I have to say I love the anticipation of Gods Word, once again showing us all (believers and non believers) that He said what He said and He has promised all of this and well, just look! While I hear most say “but I’m not ready for this life to be over or I’m not ready to die. Well, is anyone ever? It may be that some of us will not have to endure that journey of death and dying, we may just have the absolute blessing o...

Discard- the act of getting rid of something or someone that is no longer useful, or desirable.  Every summer, while I’m off, i have big plans to have a huge purge of all the    things that clutter and fill my house. Twenty-two years living here and I’ve collected   so much. Honestly, it’s overwhelming, and a task that I definitely procrastinate tackling every summer. So much so, that it’ll be August 1st and I may have just cleaned out the garage or a closet but that’s about it. If I’m honest I have a hard time letting go…of things and well, even people.

If you know me, like really know me, you know I love big and deep, and people that I love are held really close. Ironically, I find myself loving “things” the same way and have a really hard time with discarding things because these things are ...

“ Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”~Hebrews 13:2 I’ve always been intrigued by this verse, always at the back of my mind when I meet strangers. And I’ve definitely had some encounters with strangers that I feel very sure have had wings under their sweatshirts, scrubs, suits. I’m definitely a believer in angels, their protection through God, and I definitely believe that I’ve encountered many in my life. Sweet. In reading this verse I was also reminded that if we entertain angels unawares, how often do we entertain demons unawares? How often do we entertain the evilness of Satan not only through strangers but through people we encounter daily even? How often do we allow ourselves to be in the satanic realm by choosing to be with those we actually know nothing about but thinking we know everything? We may see the outside (looks, status) and we may see what we want to see (going back to my last...
