But God I Don’t Want to
But God I Don’t Want to
“Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.” Psalm 100:2
The phone rang. I was busy. I glanced at the number of the person calling. I didn’t pick up. Here we go again. Years of this. In and out of my life. Sometimes like a raging tornado. Other times quietly. Often a nightmare. Always disappearing. Weaving in and out of my life. Heartache. How long had I dealt with this? How much more? Six words came to me. Prompted by God’s Spirit. I am a ser...

Say Goodbye to Self-Love
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2
“I’m totally willing to sacrifice for others,” a man with whom I had crossed paths through the years told me one day. He was undoubtedly and unden...

Tale of Two Billboards
Tale of Two Billboards
“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16
Sunday morning. Driving home from church. A good distance away not because there aren’t plenty of churches close by. Because God sent me there to be among the homeless and others in need. Not to be served. To serve. Walking with the Lord isn’t about comfort, ease, and what’s close by. It’s about...

I Am Grieving
I Am Grieving
“Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.” Psalm 119:136
“I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.” Psalm 119:156
I know grief intimately. Up close and personal. How gut wrenching, heartbreaking, unfathomably hard, how awful, unwelcome, debilitating it is. I once called it the “grief monster.” What a vehement, unrelenting, fiery, consuming rampage it has taken on my life – so many times. How many times it took me...

To Write Our Own Obituary
To Write Our Own Obituary
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith…” Philippians 1:21-25
My Dad, a retired doc...

Ow! I Got Stung!
Ow! I got stung!
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not fo...
I Am a Mother, Bridesmaid
I am a Mother, Bridesmaid, & Midwife
“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” 2 Cor. 11:2
Some may look at my life and pity me given all I’ve missed in a typical American woman’s life. I am 48 years old and never had children. I was abandoned by two husbands. I have never been asked to be a bridesmaid. I have never hurried to the hospital to hold a friend’s hand as she gave birth. I have never...
