I began my run this morning just like every other day this week… iphone in hand streaming music into my ears, my “Runtracker” app on, ready to watch another gorgeous sunrise. It was a little warmer than the other days this week and definitely more humid, but off I went, out of my apartment complex… Continue reading Running With Purpose

BLESSED!!!
No words of my own right now, but a few from others I’d like to share. First, this paraphrase of Matthew 5:3-5: You’re blessed when you are out of options, and all you can do is lean on God. Because when you realize your need for God, it is only then that you… Continue reading BLESSED!!!

Vacations are for Detours
I come ‘round the last curve in the road. A smile grows on my face as contentment grows in my soul. If I wasn’t sure before, I’m now convinced that this impromptu detour down “J-Hill” road was a great idea. I can’t wait to get down the drive and park the car, quick turning off… Continue reading Vacations are for Detours
A Bold Prayer…
It seems that a couple times a year, I stumble upon this prayer that I once read in a book. And this morning, as I glanced back through some journals, I read it once again.

Bodies of friends lay asleep in the living room buried under blankets, pillows, and other remnants of last night’s sleepover. … Continue reading Unable To Count That High

Gracious God, We bring before you the people of Haiti and pray that you would provide HOPE. In a country that has needed so much help for so long, we continue to see devastation after devastation… an earthquake, the cholera outbreak, and now a hurricane on it’s way and those are only the “big” things. … Continue reading Hope {Day 22} – A Prayer of Hope for Haiti
Hope {Day 11} – “The Rest of the Story”
I remember moments sitting in the car as a little girl when mom would suddenly reach over and change the radio dial from whatever station it was on (normally one of the Christian radio stations) to KFDI, the country station in Wichita. She didn’t turn the station because of the music really;rather, mom knew that… Continue reading Hope {Day 11} – “The Rest of the Story”
