I loved finding this “shooting star” during the Christmas season. Let it lift your eyes toward God—in prayer. 

When the luggage came out, our cat, Jeepers, knew we would be traveling. Getting the bag out was like a “sign” to her, and she wanted to go along. What “signs” does the Lord give us in His Word, and how should we respond to them? Are you getting ready for His return? Are your heavenly bags packed and ready?

Mary declared Christ to be “God my Savior.” Her magnificent goes on to describe the Lord as “mindful” of her. I am always humbled to know that He is mindful of you and me as well. Let this prayer become your own. 

How can we find God in hidden beauty? How can we find His light in our darkening world? Let’s discover how He’s present in the ordinary events of life to show His extraordinary majesty and power.

To me, snow is God’s way of creating a wonderland and making an invitation for us to know Him through His wondrous works. See how I’ve used bridal imagery to draw you to our Savior’s love for your soul.

I loved how an encounter with a deer in the forest became an analogy for how Jesus draws us near. Will you look Him in the eye and accept His invitation to love and grace?

How did “Holy, Holy, Holy” (the hymn) become words of instruction to our cat, Tiger Lily? Tune in to see.

“Longing”. What fills your mind? An emotional or physical need? Or the desire to know the Lord? Did you know God fills every need that you have?

The beautiful shades of Autumn hold a message of God’s love and faithfulness for your soul!

Have you ever felt invisible? Like your life or thoughts didn’t matter or had no value to those around you? Hagar had some experience with that! However, like Hagar, God has His eye upon each of us. We have His love and attention 24/7. El Roi, one of God’s Hebrew names, will come alive as you discover this personal promise to your soul.

We see our world in terms of light and shadow. But God’s perspective? He is the Light! See how His children live in the refuge of His love.

If I were to caption our kitten’s pose, it would say, “Please God”. What’s your greatest request today?

If you saw God meeting your needs from an eternal supply—would you trust His earthly provision and care more? 

I noticed the boundary of the sand & sea while at the beach one day. Did you know Scripture details this as God’s staying hand on creation?

Molten and burning lava appeared like ashes. How might this form an analogy as to why/how God uses pain/hardship in our lives?

Elohim—means Creator. Why is this important to your life? To knowing Jesus? To understanding His love for you?

A morning shower had completely drenched a hibiscus flower. How can we see this in light of God’s mercy, grace, and care?

Want to know some of the ways in which God wants to use creation to speak to your heart?
