God’s Sovereign Grace
Thursday, June 21, 2012 Looking back at an old journal, [...]
Traveling Internationally
I just returned from my first international flight alone. My heart squeezed in sadness and memory as a couple held hands and the husband kissed his wife
Lessons Learned
My future on this earth is uncertain, but my eternity is certain and the best is yet to come. This I know for sure: I am not alone, for I have that same risen Savior walking beside me.
More Steps Moving Forward
I needed to process things for a time, then decided it was time for a change. So I did it.
An “Aha” Moment
The method I like takes you through on a slower path. Each day you read a certain section of the Bible
Cleaning and Organizing–A Different Kind of Grief
Moving forward in life and even in my grieving process has its highs and lows.
Let’s Remember
We can trust in the God who loves us more than we love each other or ourselves.
The Key
I really enjoy looking back sometimes. Looking back usually shows you how you’ve moved forward. I write a blog, keep a journal and write down prayer requests. Then I can look back and see how God has worked in my life. It’s amazing, actually.
Nineteen forty-six
I thought about the various zero milestones in my life. I remembered each one of them. Some were more special than the other. Others were really difficult ones and with not much joy. I clearly remember the one ten years ago....
Face Your Fears

Sleepless Nights Turned Into Joy!
Grief happens to everyone at some time in their life and in the grieving, there is work.
A Bluesy, Blah-like, Sort of Day
After twenty-some years of treasuring it, alas, when opening the storage boxes, I found it broken! “Oh no!” I wailed.
Time–You Cannot Stop It
When I get those stop-the-time feelings, I remember Who’s in control.
Another Change, Yet Blessed Hope
A sob caught my throat as I realized, yes, this is Marian, the last link to the previous generation.
Music Can Soothe Your Soul
Maybe you don’t feel like singing. Then listen to music.
So Many Blessings
We also get to travel and when we come home, we give a sigh and wonder why we would ever want to leave our cozy home with all of its familiar comforts.
It’s OK to Mourn……
Dear friends, if you are in mourning, give yourself permission to do just that. Mourn. Remember the person you've said goodbye to. Weep. Forgive your forgetfulness.
Old Hymns and Thanksgiving, too.
May your Thanksgiving Day be filled with wonder and hope, as mine was that day nine years ago.
