I came across an interesting title in the book of Isaiah while doing some “Biblical wandering” this week. It is Chapter 40 and it reads “Comfort for God’s People.” A whole chapter in the Old Testament on comfort? That’s not what I was expecting when I think of the book of Isaiah. Judgment? Yes. […]
Happy Anniversary Busy Blessed Women! Exactly one year ago today, I published my very first blog post. The gifts from God have been extraordinary! From the beginning, I told myself that even if only one person took something positive away from this blog, then it was worth all the work. It took time

I went to my first writer’s conference last summer, and one of the things that stood out to me was their plea to start/keep writing. They told us that we were desperately needed. Why? Because we had no idea how many lonely people there are in the world. They need hope and the love of

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the verse “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” Finding it in a remote place reminded me that even a small expression of faith could have big results. It reminded me of the parable of the mustard seed of faith.

When I write blog posts, I always find myself trusting in the Lord for inspiration. I found this shell in Haleakala Park Headquarters on the island of Maui. It’s a remote little building set at 7000 feet above sea level. The shell had been placed on a table in plain sight but tucked behind another
