Girls Night Out

Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other.
- Carol Saline

Getting a few days off combined with girlfriend fellowship is just the best! My suitcase is almost packed. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I head out to Phoenix with the girls. Joyce Meyer is coming to town. You know what that means: a lot of hoopin and hollerin and a lot of Word! I can use some Godly encouragement. I wonder what Joyce will be speaking about in her conference this weekend. I hope it is about the Love Revolution. She's great at that. Whatever the topic, I'm all ears.

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance
that thou stir up the gift of God,
which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2 Timothy 1:6


We're challenged in this verse to use the gifts given to us and be bold. In doing so, we inspire and encourage one another to keep on in our journey of faith and gain the victory! I'm sure there will be a lot of faith and inspiration this weekend both on the stage of the meetings and in our hotel rooms!

Some of my favorite Joyce quotes:


"Our joy does not have to be based on our circumstances."
— Joyce Meyer

"Have God make a message out of your mess."
— Joyce Meyer

"There are no drive-thru breakthroughs. Breakthroughs take time."
— Joyce Meyer

"Satan can control you if you let outward things determine your security."
— Joyce Meyer

    Yes, the time has come to be bold. May this conference bring you a new word of encouragement, and may you come home emboldened to serve the Lord even more courageously!

Spiritual Sundays ~ Flamboyant Love

I was shopping for a birthday card during my lunch hour last week when I overheard an elderly woman in the card aisle talking to her niece, a woman about my age. Here is what she said: “ I threw out all my cards. They never meant those words anyway .” Lots of laughter followed. How sad I thought to be unable to receive the love sent to her in the sentiments of a card. This incident got me thinking about the love of God and resolving to embrace it when it is offered to me. It doesn’t matter if I think I’m worthy of such extravagant love; He thinks so! In contrast, just a day later I received one of those gorgeous hand-crafted cards in the mail from my friend, Kay, who loves paper crafting. It was so pretty and love and joy just oozed out of it when I opened it. This is a sample of her designs at Creativity is Good. Kay wrote a beautiful note to me in the card reminding me of God’s tender love for me. She ended her thoughts with “The God of the universe loves us more than we can ever f...

Holiday Movie Comes to Life

It’s uncanny when a new holiday movie comes out and resembles your personal life.   I came clean to my husband on that drive to the Harkins in Sedona confessing that the movie got bad ratings.   It isn’t the type of movie that he would choose to see in the first place.   Rotten Tomatoes gave it one star.   My prince charming replied:   “ Let’s see what we think of it and rate it ourselves.”   Yes!   High five to his palm! It started out as a fun afternoon date.   It would have been perfect if the lady directly in front of me didn’t have on super-strength perfume.   Smells can be troublesome when you’re prone to headaches.   I stuck my head in a big bucket of buttered popcorn; you know-- to alleviate her fragrance, because popcorn smell is less offensive.   What else is a girl like me to do? We named the genre “drama with comedy.”   Cast of characters acted like the typical family scene at Christmas tim...

Abba's Lap

I noticed a behavior pattern in little Amy, twenty months old, that I want to imitate.  She moves fast engaging in one toddler activity after another spinning like a whirlwind from one room to another.  Yet, she pauses,  intermittently , long enough to get refreshed.   I want to be like this grandchild of mine because she knows where to go and how to get comforted. Amy moves at record speed, putting more miles on a pedometer in one hour than my accumulated weekly workouts at the gym.  She can build a skyscraper so tall, I wonder why those bright pink Lego’s don’t topple to the ground as she continues to stack just one more piece on top. I learned never to leave the room to get another cup of coffee.  Once, when I returned, I found her climbing past the couch with hands and feet reaching for the living room drapes. She has a consistent habit that I admire.  In the midst of her activities, as she moves robustly from one play...
