Used to Useful

John 4 The Samaritan woman at the well is remembered for having many husbands and Jesus calling her out on it. She is never named or described, but she had to have had some use to others because five men had married her, and she currently was living with one…

Good Morning

Good Morning God, You are more than my words can express. You are higher than my thoughts, and my mind cannot envelop You. You are boundless. You are perfect. You are creative. Time does not limit you; You created time, and Your timing is perfect. Nothing can be added to…

Sorrow For My Sin

I’m not sure that I should say this out loud, but sin has been something I know I should not do, but the gravity or seriousness of sin I had not dug into. I know sin, or disobedience results in a broken relationship with God, the same as if…

“Go Out and Be With God”

Sometimes, somedays, for weeks, months, I feel so very alone. People may surround me, even loved ones, but there is a burden I carry I cannot identify. I carry it alone, and in return, I feel alone. The funny thing about this burden is that I don’t know…

Sheep and Valleys

(This is a repeat, but I believe it is a good reminder and I do enjoy the video. Love in Christ~ Mia) “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want” Jesus is personal. He knows me.   He keeps me and protects me. He provides for me.      “He makes me…

Used? Or Useful

John 4 The Samaritan woman at the well is remembered for having many husbands and Jesus calling her out on it. She is never named or described, but she had to have had some use to others because five men had married her, and she currently was living with one…

Chew Over

Most times before a meal, I stop and give thanks to God. After so many years and so many meals, this ritual has become something done without much thought. Yet, still, a tradition that, if left out, guilt temporarily sets in. I began to ponder the purpose of the mealtime…
