I’m in Exodus in my daily Bible reading, and to be honest, it’s not the easiest passage to get through. God is giving Moses all these instructions on how to build things like the tabernacle, table, and the ark. But then I began thinking….it is very interesting when you do some comparison. God tells Moses… Continue reading Mercy Seat
Doubt
When I started writing this blog, I told myself I was always going to be completely honest in everything I wrote. With that in mind, sometimes it is hard to write things. This is one of those times. I don’t know about you, but there are times when I doubt. Sometimes I doubt people, things,… Continue reading Doubt
Weary
As an empty nest mom now, I look back on the years of raising two girls and wonder how I made it sometimes. Maybe you think about it sometimes too, or maybe you’re still right in the thick of it. Maybe you’re saying to yourself most days, ‘How am I going to get through this… Continue reading Weary
Hope
Hope. What do you think of when you hear or see the word hope? I think there are two definitions for hope. The first I would consider a worldy one. Dictionary.com defines hope as (noun) the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best and (verb)… Continue reading Hope
Banquets
There are many occasions for a banquet. Banquets are mentioned in the Bible several times also. Jesus’ first miracle was at a wedding banquet. Jesus’ feet were washed at a banquet. Jesus told several parables using a banquet. What is it about a banquet? It’s essentially a party. We still have banquets today. We have… Continue reading Banquets
Wait for it…
Waiting is hard. Sometimes it’s the hardest thing we have to do in our lives. I think we spend a lot of our time waiting. We wait for people, for that job promotion, for our food to be ready, for 5 o’clock. I’m sure you can think of many more. For what or on whom… Continue reading Wait for it…
Countershading
The other day I ran across the term countershading. It is defined as a method of camouflage in which an animal’s coloration is darker on the upper side and lighter on the underside of the body. I couldn’t help but think that we do this in our lives sometimes. We ‘put on our best face’ so that people will… Continue reading Countershading
Feet
Those of you closest to me know I do not like feet. I don’t like even my own feet! I’m not sure why. Maybe I’ve seen so many nasty ones in the past. But feet are a necessity, aren’t they? We need them to walk and get us places. We cannot wait for our babies… Continue reading Feet
Rocks
Ever wonder why rocks are mentioned a lot in the Bible? Rocks are hard, cold, misshapen things, but they are useful in so many ways. In Exodus 33 Moses wanted to see God’s glory. God tells Moses if he saw Him, he would die. But God granted his request somewhat. He told Moses to stand… Continue reading Rocks
