His Grace, My Journey

I tell you, we were framed! Stepping Into the New Year 2024 “Tag you’re it!”  As we sit in the New Year’s Eve hours of 2023 and await our New Year 2024 to arrive… please know that my life has been forever changed by each of you through time.  May we each continue to “Love Each Other Beyond Worms” and may God blossom the butterfly from each of our chrysalises.  Forever humbled & grateful.  My prayer for us all as we step into this New Year 2024 is: Dear Lord, Thank you for going before us to make a way.  My heart realizes that the journey has contained so many valleys for those that I am blessed to call my family & friends.  It isn’t a year I would have signed up for, but it is a year that you drew me ever so deeper & closer to You.   I have seen the unconditional love of Christ in my family, my church family & friends.  Each of these are gifts beyond words, because our journey is a spiritual journey.  I ask Lord that you...

  Merry Christmas to all my family & Friends both near & far.   Whom can or have  you seen the reflection of Christ in this year?   Who have you been or will be the hands & feet of Christ for?  After all,  this is His sacred season.  He came to offer us all a new hope, which we are to pass on. Reflections of December’s Storm 2023 The storm came Every thing went black; Would the power Ever come back?  It seemed to be, A good time to reflect; And count our blessings, That we sometimes forget… ‘Twas a few days before Christmas, And all through the town, Some lights were twinkling, And some were not found. Then the trucks all arrived, To put Hope in the air; That there would be power, For Christmas  this year. May we pray for the linesman, Who showed up each day; For God’s mighty protection, In every way. Many have “God stories” Of what has been done; You could see kindness, Though others Christ-like love. Please never forge...

At this time of the year, Christmas evokes many memories and deep, heartfelt emotions.   We all really do get visited by Christmas Past & Christmas Present just NOT Christmas Future as Scrooge did.  It is a blessing that God gives us one day at a time.  The feelings that come with this season have a multitude of intensities and as many ranges as all the mountains combined in our world.   Sometimes our emotions seem to be like “shape shifters” as you never know what form they will take or when they will occur.  They can be triggered with a scent, or a memory that hits you at the most unexpected time in the grocery.   Thank you for Joy for doing my grocery shopping today.  It is amazing how God brings people along side to walk with us through all seasons.  I am truly blessed to have the family, church family & friends who do & have done life with me.  Each of you have impacted my life in inexpressible ways With ADD I ...

  Went for a walk with my honey, Jamie Matthews today, thanks to the heart-felt motivation of Heather Roth!  So grateful  .  It was 33 degrees & spiting snow but made 2 1/4 miles.  Thank you to those of you who are praying, as energy is a prime commodity on this journey.  Yes Heather is one of the people I asked you to prayer for.  Please continue to pray for Heather, Aubrey Fasulo & Anna Beck as they continue their health challenges and journey.  Yes you know, “LOVE THEM BEYOND WORMS!”   .  Below is the update I did a few days.  Hope you have a nice warm drink, as you step back into my journey through some scribed words. Love God’s sense of humor!  How can you practice gratitude & thanksgiving today? Pet Rocks Remember the fad of “Pet Rocks”?  As adorable as they were, I would not want to become one.  However it is fun to imagine the rocks with those sweet faces.  And today, to find a painted ro...

Meet Heather Roth , Aubrey Fasulo & Anna Beck.  Can you love them beyond worms with me?  No that is NOT a typo.  Come & sit with me for a few minutes. Happy Thanksgiving to You & Yours.  It is so important to count your blessings every day.  Today I’d like to pay it forward for some of my treasured friends that I made at Hope4Cancer.    Love You Beyond Worms!!!  (Hey Anna are you in?) Sometimes serving God doesn’t look like anything you ever imagined. We have one set of ideas, but God has another.  Would you believe that serving God can blossom from an honest, heart-felt texting mistake? Well, I have one infamous between my friend, Mary & I.   We’ve walked a lot of miles together, as we raised our children together.   The good news is the kids survived.  You might want to curl up with a warm cup of tea, as I take you on a journey of how one simple texting mistake can take on a life of its own for God....
