Run to me. Run the race with perseverance. Throw off everything – EVERY THING – that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. Throw off – with forceful motion to gain greatest separation. Not just toss. Not just remove. THROW! Use EVERY OUNCE of your energy and put it behind that object – that […]

I have to be honest. For quite a while, now, holidays and I just haven’t gotten along. My family is fractured and spread out and I’ve just struggled w/ holidays ever since Mom & Dad divorced. Being the only one in my household to attend the church I do only magnifies it when I see […]

Well, I can certainly say the last couple of weeks have been QUITE the roller-coaster ride. There’s been enough change going on that a person could get whiplash watching the calendar and emotional barometer change, sometimes on an hour-by-hour basis. First it was my birthday. For a number of reasons I wasn’t feeling exactly celebrated […]

I’ve been thinking a LOT about God’s faithfulness lately. But I think I’m being taken to a new level – a deeper level. It goes like this: 1) God is faithful. 2) Even when I don’t understand it or like it. 3) Even when it makes absolutely no human sense. 4) Even when it seems […]

This has been quite the year with a lot of personal struggles and challenges. It started the first week of January and hasn’t let up yet. God speaks to me a lot through music. For a while in my foundational years it seemed every major turning point in my life came at a Christian rock […]

Ever come across one of those verses in the Bible that holds the mirror up to you and you don’t like what you see? You know – those ones that ‘hit you where you live’ and make you pull the log out of your own eye before you dig for the splinter in someone else’s? […]

Been re-reading my posts. Scroll down to August 3, 2009. Read that one first. Then come back to this one. I’ll wait. This past Sunday our mission team to El Salvador shared about their trip this past June. It was bittersweet for me – sweet because it’s my heart desire (missions). Bitter because I’m still […]

So I was talking w/ someone this morning & she mentioned a blog she does. Made me think…”hmmm….I have one. Haven’t done anything with it in a while, but I have one.” So I said to self: “Self – I think it’s time you look at your last blog post.” Was a little surprised to […]

Just read a segment of Arthur Pink’s article on election (point 1) http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/Miscellaneous/god_of_jacob.htm  Found myself praying & having a convcersation with myself that went like this: ‘why me?’ Answer: because He has a plan to use me. ‘What did I do to deserve this?’ That’s just it, Sue – like the article said, He chose […]

We’ve all watched and laughed as a gerbil or hamster runs in their exercise wheel getting nowhere. But do they really know it? They don’t seem to get discouraged at that fact. I just found out I’ve been a gerbil the last 4 months and the question becomes ‘how will I respond?’ I read an […]
