Worship Wednesday.

 (Think I’ll have to call it “Finish Up Friday” as I kept using this day as my catch up day 🤓)

God, I thank You for Truth, true truth, Your unchanging truth and that we can know Your Truth from Your Word to us, written down for us in the pages of scripture! I was reminded afresh of the priceless value of Your written Word as it’s made crystal clear throughout Psalm 119 when we read this week in our Daily Bible Reading plan.

“With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes!” Psalm‬ ‭119:10-12‬ ‭

When I was an AWANA (renown Bible learning & memorizing program all my boys grew up doing) leader, I would review Psalm 119: 11 with them every week to remind them of the reason & importance of what we were doing in “storing up HiS Word in our hearts that we might not sin against our beloved Creator, Sustainer & Savior!

A few other great verses to remind us of the power & purpose of His written, to lead us to a knowledge of, reconciliation with and a live lived to glorify Him!

“For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans‬ ‭15:4-6‬ ‭

“but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” John‬ ‭20:31‬ ‭


“So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word(reading, mediating on, memorizing, being transformed by & living out His written Word!) you are truly my disciples (His followers, His adopted children), and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”...Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin....So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John‬ ‭8:31-32, 34, 36‬ 

God so graciously showed me this week through the reading of His Word areas in my life where I was enslaved by lies that I was believing & living out...& set me free with His truth!! Amen! PTL!! I am free indeed!

God is Good!

 Well I’m finally back. I have written SO many mental posts with updates and what’s God been teaching me!! Then when I finally get a minute to actually take them out of my mind and onto the screen, my mind bottlenecks and gets overwhelmed with all I want & need to write...it exhausts me & I end up concluding that I’m too tired and don’t have time to transcribe all that’s in my mind onto digital paper. But as I sit here alone at the Denver airport on a long layover en route to Atlanta to celebrate my sisters 50th, I’m starting! We both have September birthdays, hers being on the 10th. We decided to save the celebrating til my chemo was complete, hence the delayed timing of the trip. My younger sister who lives here in Colorado is on her way to meet me and we’ll fly this leg if the trip together! And my parents are traveling from Michigan to meet us as well! How crazy (& sad!) that we are all spread out across the country, coast to coast, north to south- we are so close r...

Song in my Soul

  Song in my Soul by Phil Wickham A dear friend sent this to me with her daily encouragement & prayer...I loved it from the first time I heard it! I hope you will too! There's a song in my soul ( how music goes deep into the core of who we are!) And I feel it stirring in me ( springing up from the well of His Word to satisfy the thirsty, he who drinks the Living Water will never thirst again!) This I know for sure ( faith is the assurance of what we know but don’t see) That Your love is like a flood ( washing & washing over me ! And Your mercy never ending ( “ The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” ‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬)  I give my song to You ( “ Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants...Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the coastl...
