God's Godness in the Rain

Hello Friend,

We often say "God is good" when the sun is on our shoulders. But recently, I've been thinking about His goodness in life's rain.

Perimeter of Praise

Hello Friend,

The other day, the boys and I helped with a Cub Scout service project. As we raked the perimeter of our small town's baseball fields, clearing away winter debris, a prayer came to heart.

Have you ever prayed through a job or a chore?

Here's the link to my recent post at Guideposts:

Thank you for being here.

Wishing you a weekend filled with peace and grace.

The 'Even If' Prayer

Hello Friend,

I've been wrestling with worry. I've been fighting fear.

And do you know what?

I'm learning to hold God's promises in trying times. You can read about it here:

I'm forever thankful for a God who is so very personal with us. For a God who holds us in His hands. For a God who will never, ever leave.

There is comfort in Truth.

Thank you for being here with me. May His light shine on your day, too...

Lovingly,

Shawnelle

The Beauty of Serving

Hello Friend,

Anger. It's consuming. It spreads and grows. It's a slippery slope.

The other day, I had the opportunity to help a son work through his anger.

And guess what?

With the Lord's guidance, his anger shifted to something else.

Wishing you a beautiful day. May it be filled with grace and love.

Where the Broken-Hearted Go

Hello Friend,

Last week I went to worship service with a heavy heart. As I looked around the sanctuary, I understood that I wasn't alone in my brokenness.

Then I witnessed something wonderful.

Together with my church family, worshipping the Lord, the healing began.

Where do you go to experience His presence? His kindness and grace?

Easter was almost a week ago. As I work through an ordinary day, I begin to think about the extraordinary blessings that Easter brings to our lives.

Wonderfully Made

Hello Friend,

I've been thinking about how the Lord made us, knit us together, knew us before we were yet born. And as I'm stretching and growing both as a mother and as a woman of faith, I'm growing more and more comfortable with who He made me to be.

May you find JOY today in who He made you to be, too.

Song of Grace

Hello Friend,

Isn't a wonderful thing that we can to go to the Father for comfort - but also for forgiveness?

Gabriel was in a piano recital last week, and a small mistake made me think of God's amazing gift of grace.
