Psalm 23:4 is so comforting. It let's us know who is protecting us. It brings comfort not just on our death bed or the death bed of a loved one but through out life. The things we fear, like death, have no power over us. Things like death are all around us in this … Continue reading What Or Who Do We Hire To Protect Us?

The Search for Perfection
I just want to be.... I just want to be a good housekeeper. I just want to be good at redirecting the kids. I just want to be patient. I just want to look like a super model. When I was rattling all of these I just want's to my husband the other night I … Continue reading The Search for Perfection
Restoration
Just like the rest of this Psalm the sentence He Restores My Soul can't be removed from it's place. It needs to be looked at right where God intended it to be. Two weekends ago I as able to attend a conference put on by Christ Hold Fast. If you have not looked at their resources … Continue reading Restoration
Dew and Provision
No I don't mean a Mountain Dew to start off the morning but this time of year if someone showed up on my front step with one I would probably drink it. (I promise one day spring will be over and I will stop talking about how tired I am...haha.) I learned something about sheep … Continue reading Dew and Provision

The woman is speaking in these verses about her life working for brothers who hate her and also about … Continue reading To Do List’s and Rest
Wanting
I am tempted to separate these two phrases. 'The Lord is my shepherd' and 'I shall not want'. Last week I wrote about The Lord being my shepherd. This week the plan was to write about 'I shall not want' however, I am finding that impossible. I can talk about the Lord being my shepherd … Continue reading Wanting
Buttered bread
"I WILL NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT WHERE MY BREAD GETS BUTTERED..." "I WILL NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT WHERE MY BREAD GETS BUTTERED..." "I WILL NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT WHERE MY BREAD GETS BUTTERED..." This is the phrase I repeat to myself from April till October. Spring brings the reminder on strong that my husband is not my everything. … Continue reading Buttered bread
The Shepherd
It is the beginning to a familiar passage from the bible. The Lord is my shepherd. What does that mean for us? What does it mean that the Lord is our Shepherd? If we have a shepherd does that mean we are the sheep? Psalm 23 speaks about things that our Shepherd does for us. … Continue reading The Shepherd
