Praise for Ordinary Days

Hello friend, it’s Shellie dropping in for a visit with news from the parental front, but first, a reminder.  Do remember, that I only remind you, because Father God has first had His way reminding me. 

That said, our ordinary days are not a postscript or a place keeper between more important events. And they aren’t side notes to what God is calling us to do. ⁣All the moments of our lives are His, and all of them are holy when lived before Him and to Him.

Ask the right question and find The Answer

…How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. Matthew 23:37

Those words were with me when I opened my eyes this morning and they were still circling in my thoughts as I took my coffee to the back porch and sat down to pray. I recognized them as the mournful lament Jesus once spoke over the holy city of Jerusalem, but honestly, I felt like He was repeating them to a whole shell-shocked world of people who have denie...

A story to help you hang in there and not give up!

Hey friend! I’m knee deep in writing on the Gospel of John study I’ve mentioned to you before. My deadline is late August to turn it in to my publisher and I would love your prayer support as I write. But right now, I’m stopping to encourage YOU. Meet me in the video below and invite a friend to join us. God loves you and so do I!

Hugs,
Shellie

Resurrection Sunday — Jesus Keeps His Word!

I’m back, true to my word. But of exceeding more earth shaking life-changing eternal significance, Jesus kept His Word! He’s alive! Praise Him! What’s more, Jesus continues to keep His Word to us this day and everyday. Somebody needs to help me shout!

It’s Saturday evening in my corner of the world. I’ve got the kitchen smelling up nicely for Easter dinner, and someone (all fingers pointing back at me) needs to do some light housekeeping before guests arrive tomorrow. No worries. It’ll get done,...

A Salad Shout Out and a Promise to Return!

Hey folks! It’s an absolutely beautiful day here in northeast Louisiana, after a stormy night. I hope you’re well in your corner of the world. Between parents and grandchildren and my writing deadlines, this full-fledged member of the sandwich generation is meeting herself coming and going. But, I haven’t forgotten you! Case in point, it occurred to me that y’all might enjoy my Bodacious Broccoli Salad on your Easter table. I’m on the way to see a grand play in her first tennis tournament, but I...

A Salad Shout Out and a Promise to Return

Hey folks! It’s a beautiful day here in northeast Louisiana. I hope you’re finding it so in your corner of the world. Between parents and grandchildren and my writing deadlines, this full-fledged member of the sandwich generation is meeting herself coming and going. But, I haven’t forgotten you! Case in point, it occurred to me that y’all might enjoy my Bodacious Broccoli Salad on your Easter table. I’m on the way to see a grand play in her first tennis tournament, but I have a lot more thoughts...

On Good Things and Hard Times and How to Hold onto Joy

Hello friend, 

I hope this finds you well! I’m always thinking of how you might be feeling and what you might be facing. And when my thoughts and prayers line up in a way that I think can help you, I’m prompted to reach out. Which brings me to today’s note… 

The last few days have overflowed with good things, God things.

The last few days have overflowed with tragic news and ongoing heartbreak.

Oh, the tension, right? 

It feels insensitive to post a joyful moment when so many are facing devast...

Secret Stuff and Jesus Stuffies!

Hello Dear Reader! Here I am back with another missive. It’s literally feast or famine with me, isn’t it? What can I say. Sometimes I just think of y’all and I know I’ve got to share. So, how about it? Wanna read some secret stuff? I haven’t cleared this with anyone (as in publisher and agent type people) but I’m gonna drop a few words here from the next book I’m writing! It’s that study from the gospel of John I’ve been wanting to pen for so long, the one I mentioned in our last visit. Each cha...
