Remedy
The world is a hot mess. The USA is a hot mess. Let’s see, just when I thought there was a light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel, it’s on a rampant surge in India. There’s finally some justice for George Floyd, but at least 6 more Black people have been killed by police. What is the remedy??
The world needs a GIANT intervention. I find myself crying out to the Lord with ever increasing…

Permission
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”Ephesians 4:2
The hard season of injustice seems like it may never end, doesn’t it? I’m giving myself permission to talk about it because I care about black people. I care about all people. And since Jesus cared about us enough to come down here and take the penalty We deserved so We could be free, And since I…

Pressure
This past year, like most every adult in the USA, I have experienced extreme pressure such as I haven’t experienced in 8 or so years. It felt like the world exploded as a perfect storm of pandemic, racial injustice, and the election all coalesced.
I did my best to keep up with all the details surrounding all the things. I advocated for people to wear masks on social media and in real life. I…

Gentle
What’s so good about Good Friday? I’m currently doing a one year chronological Bible reading plan. With the Lord timing is everything. I don’t believe in coincidence. I believe in the sovereignty of God. So today, on this Good Friday, I’m in Exodus (because I began this plan on March 1) and I just read how the firstborn of Egypt have died. I am a firstborn. I have a firstborn. I know a lot of…

Redeem
The day that I said yes to Jesus, there was an instant transaction that took place. He redeemed me before I even had a clue what that meant. The dictionary definition of redeem is to gain or regain possession of something in exchange for payment.
“You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.”1 Corinthians 7:23
Before I knew Jesus, I didn’t really know what life was for. All…

Possible
Do you believe in the possible? When someone discourages you and says you can’t, do you believe her or do you rally and think, I’ll show you?
Before Jesus, I fell into the first camp more often than not, simply because I didn’t allow myself to do much dreaming. Mine was the voice that would say, you can’t do that because it’s irresponsible, because you have kids, because what would everyone…

Enable
I am a helper. More specifically, I am a rescuer. The Lord has enabled me to be this way.
When I was a child, the story of the good Samaritan resonated with me deeply. I wondered how anyone could witness another human being in distress and just pass them by? Not me! I have lots of examples of incidents that I was able to come to someone’s rescue. I’m not talking about feats of heroism, I’m…

Observant
A list of observations because I have observed I like lists. 😉
The world is filled with miracles, like the day I was born again. You just have to look for them.If you watch the sunrise from the beginning, you will see most of the colors of the rainbow. walking on trails brings me into the presence of the Lord.Birds are everywhere. The plain birds have the most beautiful voices. The colorful…

Once
What are the once and done things in your life? Mine tend to be very small things, like brussel sprouts or liver (except mom kept feeding us liver over and over for all my childhood, but you get what I mean.) Then there are the things I thought would be once and done, like childbirth, but that was twice, or even backpacking (I had a terrible first experience).
What I have found over the years is…

Sunrise
It’s my favorite. I love waking up early. Like 4th watch of the night early.
My first memory of waking up that early was at Christmas time when I was a little child. Mom decorated the windows with Christmas candles. The soft light from those candles was so comforting. She would leave those candles up for ages. And on nights when it would snow? Those wee hours before sunrise were pure magic to…

Design
‘You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid…

Fix
Hello! My name is Michelle. I am a fixer. I am a surgical nurse. If you break it, I will be on the team that fixes it. You broke a bone? I got you. Your appendix is on fire? Got that too. God made me for this surgical role. I have always been drawn to fixing broken things. What I do is necessary and good.
But what do you do when you can’t fix something? Some things we face in life aren’t…

Fresh
The calendar says it’s a fresh new year, but it sure doesn’t feel like anything fresh. To quote a surgeon I worked with this week after I said, “happy new year”. “Happy New Year!? Don’t you know it’s December 41st!?” Her words made me chuckle. “But,” I responded, “we can’t lose hope.”
Friends, I would submit to you that we can’t wait for the turning of the year to look for freshness. We aren’t…

Time
Time. What a concept. It is past, present, future. If you watch it, it seems to drag on endlessly. I’m always amazed at how much I can get done in 3 minutes. If you don’t pay attention to it, days, weeks, months, years slip by so rapidly you can’t believe how fast the time went.
Remembering the past reminds you how long ago the past really is. Did I really live those moments? They feel dreamlike…

Repent
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 3:2 ESV
Biblically speaking, repentance is absolute and ultimate unconditional surrender to God as Sovereign. In repenting, one makes a complete change of direction (180° turn) toward God.
In order to repent, you need to recognize you are lost and need a Savior. This is what happened in my life on that day 15 years ago. I couldn’t take one…

Love
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.1 Corinthians 13:1
After my dad died and before I met Jesus, I wanted love. I wanted it really badly. There was just one small problem, I didn’t really know the full scope of the word love.
When my dad died, my sense of love died with him and so did my “relationship” with God. I lost my…

Conclude
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
The longest year of our lives will end in 13 days. But has it been? The Longest year? It hasn’t been for me or my family. I’m so thankful. Coronavirus is beginning to makes its way through the people I know and love, but, so far, we haven’t lost anyone.
I keep…
