Abba Father Heavenly King Creator Healer Sustainer Savior The names for God are as endless as His power, His love, and His grace. Kind of by accident earlier this week (though I'm starting to believe not an accident at all!) I stumbled upon the idea of focusing on the various names of God during my… Continue reading My Hope, My Comfort, My Life

The Lost Art of Snailmail (With a Giveaway)
In our world where condensing life down to 140 character messages sent instantaneously to whomever you want wherever you are is becoming the norm, there is something about snail mail that brings me intense joy. As I hunt for a favorite pen and search through the card stash to find the one "just right", I… Continue reading The Lost Art of Snailmail (With a Giveaway)
God-Sighting Saturday
A new worship song penned by a high school youth boldly asking "Use me, God"! And He does! God works through people. Women gathered in a slightly older one's home. Chocolate chip pancakes and an evening in the Word, in sharing, in tears, in joy. God gives rest. Beautiful peach roses delivered amazing new neighbors.… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday
God Sighting Saturday (on Sunday)
So with being at a conference all week and then moving yesterday I've sadly neglected my blog this week including God sighting Saturday but here we are on Sunday with many sightings of God at work to report.

I’ll Love You Forever!
I was just wandering through Dollar Tree trying to find the something I needed when I heard the conversation. They were just two twenty-somethings co-workers trying to pass time as they restocked the shelves. "Oh did I tell you..." one asks the other as if she's simply going to state some random fact about her… Continue reading I’ll Love You Forever!
Prayers for Friends
A beautiful prayer for our friends and family members. I have some friends for whom I'm praying this today. I bet you have some friends who could use some prayer too. "Father, when we hear how much You love us, that You'll always be there, how constant and consistent You are, it's hard for us… Continue reading Prayers for Friends
Where “joyfullyblessed” came from…
People often wonder where the phrase "joyfullyblessed" came from and why I write it as one word. For the first answer, check out the right sidebar of my blog site. As for why it's one word... basically, back in January of 2009 when I was making a journal to list the blessings and joys in… Continue reading Where “joyfullyblessed” came from…
God-Sighting Saturday
At some point during the last week of 2012, I got thinking about the concept that many bloggers use where certain days of the week are dedicated to a specific blog post type. We have: 5-minute Friday - five minutes (and only five minutes) of unedited writing based on a weekly prompt Weird Verse Wednesday… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday
Sticky Faith
A while ago I started reading the book Sticky Faith. I've picked it up again now that we're through the busy holiday season and continue to love what I read. This book is based on the results of a 4-year longitudinal study (which, for those of you who may not be as passionate about psychology,… Continue reading Sticky Faith
