Thank you for beginning this blog. I am blessed to be a woman at GCR and tremendously honored to be able to participate in the spring break trip to Kenya. Pray with me as we move towards our visits of encouragement.

Faith Words: What’s Next?

-
From the beginning, God has pointed us toward what is next. One step leads to another. That step takes us further. One thought leads to another and that takes us in this direction or that.  When God directs our steps, our future is secure - no matter what happens. The Lord doesn’t misdirect us. He has our best interests in mind. And what are our best interests?  His will.  To know His will, we need to know His word, commune with Him, talk to Him. We can walk so closely with Him that our will is completely aligned with His, moving us toward the ultimate goal God has always had planned.  That’s what I want - to be in sync with the Lord and feel Him guiding my every thought, every step. Which step will we take next?   Patrice Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭23‬ ‭NIV‬‬ The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;… ‭

Faith Words: Scars

-
It's been almost 3 years since I had surgery on my shoulder.  I used to think it began that day in March 2013 when I fell off the treadmill and shredded what was left of my rotator cuff, but I've come to know that it started long before that. Over the years, other falls, overuse or misuse worked on that part of my shoulder, weakening it little by little till the fall finished it off along with the bicep muscle that had been attached to it. Then, suddenly, I was in pain and I couldn't raise my arm or extend it fully.  I couldn't lift what I had been able to.  I'd pushed it beyond its limit and it snapped. I consulted with one doctor who wasn't too concerned. After all, I was nearly 60 - ready for a rocking chair on a porch somewhere, I suppose. When I asked him what he'd do if he was in my position, he laughingly said he'd probably have surgery, if it affected his golf game.  His golf game.  Thanks for caring. So, I talked to my sister-in-law who...

Faith Words: Focus

-
Sometimes, it’s hard for me to focus. To be honest, it’s more than sometimes.   I sit down to read something and as I read, I realize that instead of paying attention to what I’ve read, I’ve been thinking about my grocery list or something else I need to do and have little to no idea what I’ve been reading.  This happens whether what I’m reading is a novel, a post or the Bible. This happens when I pray, too. And I’m so ashamed. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I keep my focus on the thing in front of me for even two minutes?! I think part of it is me but a large part is our hurried world. So many things screaming for my attention all at the same time and me not being able to shut out the noise and give my undivided attention to whatever is in front of me.  I particularly want to give God my undivided attention when I’m praying, reading or studying His word, or worshiping Him. He deserves that and more.  I’m thankful that He knows me and He knows my world. He understan...
