Seed & Lush Greens
Seeds have been sown in the garden of your heart. When God looks at you He sees a lush field of evergreen trees, vines with fruit clusters, hope divine and glorious blooms specifically designed to besot you.
God has plans for your life. Are you trusting him completely? Are you more reliant on common sense than His Power And Goodness?
God’s got you. Allow the luster and shine of His heart for you break through.
You have been earmarked for Glory.♥️

Someone Is Bragging On You. . .
Someone is bragging on you…
Affirming words are my primary love language. Encouraging and sharing with people the positive I see in them is just a natural extension of who I am. It is a wonderful thing, edifying to the soul, to know you’ve played a role on some level in making another person feel wonderful…feel special…to know how much they matter, are cared for and not overlooked.
Verbal Edification and Encouragement Equals Empowerment.
Last night is a night I loved.
It was an ordinary Monday night, but I

Custom Fit
Cut from a different cloth…
I love textiles. I am particular about tapestry and textures. I touch everything. I love all forms of design. When I buy a new journal I don’t just observe the outward appearance. I open it up and touch it. I feel the texture of the paper as I glide a stroke of my hand across the page. All of it- a part of the experience of writing for me.
My favorite garments aren’t always my most beautiful articles of clothing in my wardrobe, but those

Hidden Treasures
Have you ever met someone who appears to do all things well, carried themselves well, just extremely polished? Excellence—everywhere excellent.
There is a regal quality to a person who carries themself well and does well. There is an added luster to their Shine when they handle themselves well in all of their well doing. It is human nature to compel toward pride and the pride of life. So when you come across one who does well and has room and reason to boast, but chooses the path of kindness and generosity

Elevate
Yesterday I came across a photograph of my boys that was maybe from 7 years ago. Kids change so much so quickly, it’s beautiful and painful at the same time. Bitter sweet I guess you would call it. I just sat drinking in the picture. They were all huddled up close to one another, laughing, the baby on my 2nd oldest son’s shoulders—they were so happy. I am so grateful that their early and middle childhood years were happy years for them.
When my kids were really little we would sit on

Spirit Move
God does things His own way…
Who could possibly know the mind and methods of God? He asked a man to build a boat without knowing what a boat was—there had never been a need for such a vessel. He asked a people to carry a box around the Middle East full His Presence, but they were not aloud to touch it—known as The Arc of the Covenant. He asked a young girl to birth a Savior, because of her purity she was selected, and because of

New Atmospheres~
Eagles are incredible.
I was once again reminded of a beautiful gift I received many years ago—to watch from just above an eagle leave her nest and cascade her wings across a New England valley. I had to be less than 20 yards from her on the side of a mountain trial. It was picturesque to watch her glide over the valley as the breeze caught her wings and carried her. I knew in that moment, to be able to watch an eagle that close and from above, not

When Love Walks In . . .
There is the world we see and then there is the spirit world we don’t. We are spirits with bodies. Who we truly are resides in the soul. And everything about us exudes from there. Who we are on the inside is what makes us beautiful. What we are on the outside is what can be seen immediately. It’s important to care for our bodies and present well because first impressions matter whether we want them to or not. But getting to know a person is when we find out

The Sky Is Sprinkled with Hope
I have felt the presence of God with me my entire life. I think I just didn’t realize what it was.
God speaks to the darkness inside us all. Then He illuminates us, heart, mind and soul.
There is something so beautiful and intoxicating to me about the night sky. The velvet black backdrop paints the canvas of night so the celestial planets can dance about and sprinkle light. It glitters along with the moon so bright and catches my eye. I love the moon. I love to look at it, I
