“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.

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?

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

I love how Luke 12:27-28 encourages us to “look to the lilies” in reference to God’s care for us. Learn how He’s mindful of you!

How can the direction of a cat’s ears tune focus upon the Lord? Lend me your attention and I’ll explain. 

Have you noticed that gardens evoke a sense of peace? Could it be because we experience the Master Gardener’s presence where all time began?

A toy and Tilly looked almost indistinguishable. How might spending time with our Master make us appear more like Him to our world?

If I asked you what your greatest need is today, what would you say? Did you know that the Lord wants you to call upon Him for it?

1 Peter 5:7 will come alive to your mind with a fishing illustration to “cast” your cares upon the Lord. Check it out!

As I knelt to take a photo, I treasured the insight that God gave animals “garden patches,” places to rest and play much like He does us.
