Hello! Welcome to my blog! I have recorded past journal entries from devotional journaling as well as nature and travel photos. It is my aim to pass on the encouragement of the Lord to other sisters in Christ.

    • A sling and a stone

      I hear the Lord say: A sling and a stone – not the usual weapons of warfare. The shepherd boy, David, used these as his weapons of choice to fight and defeat Goliath. He had to ignore the derision of his older brothers. He had to reject the advice of King Saul to wear his…

    • Hope

      I hear the Lord say: Hope is more than wishful thinking. Hope is a seeking, a longing, a conviction, that a brighter future is coming. Hope is trusting in Me when life’s circumstances look bleak. Hope is standing in faith and in the promises of My word for today and for tomorrow. Hope is restful…

    • Put on gentleness

      I hear the Lord say: Be gentle. Be gentle with yourself; be gentle with others.

    • My heart

      I hear the Lord say: I know your heart. I hear your pain. I understand your sorrow. I know you inside and out. Come to Me and unburden yourself. Tell Me all about it. Yes, I already know, but it is good for you to share your pain and grief so you can get release…

    • Steady On

      I hear the Lord say: I call to you “steady on.” When all around you is shaking ground, steady on. When the ocean waves rock you to and fro, steady on. When violent storms swirl around you, steady on. When gales and gusts pull at you, steady on. When clamor and strife rises to a…
