Looking Back-Looking Forward

Looking back on this past year, I see lots of progress regarding my writing. I can't really say it's a "writing career", it's not that at all. However, I can call it a "writing ministry", it's that for sure.

Writing this past year has been an experience that has and still is changing my life day by day. The words I've written have ministered to my own heart. And now I see God working the truth found in each of the articles out in my heart and in my life.

As a teacher for over 10 years now, I know from experience that people learn at different levels. The spiritual truth you know and live today, you will learn again and again on a deeper level in the future.

As I look ahead to the future, I'm excited about the spiritual truth I am learning how to live. Who knows what tomorrow will hold for each of us, except God the Father. He knows exactly what we need day to day, week by week, and year to year.


My Prayer:

Jesus continue to be my compass each and every day. Teach me your ways. Mold me into what you want me to be. Thank you for loving me.

Come Soon Lord Jesus

Come soon Lord Jesus
Come soon to our rescue.

Send your angels to be close at hand
As we travel through this barren land.

Be our compass, show us the way.
Strengthen our hearts as we walk through each day.

Fill us with Your Spirit; go before us in a cloud.
Part the waters with Your Word; save us with Your shroud.


A shroud is a rope which gives support to the mast which supports the sails on a ship. The shrouds allow the mast to withstand the strain of the weight of sail in a fresh wind. They hold the mast up against the wind.

What a beautiful picture of God's love and power. His hand reaches out to each of us like a shroud, steadying us, holding us up against the wind as we sail on to the place He has prepared for each of us.


Dear Jesus please help us to hold on to Your hand; help us to not be afraid.

National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week

Have you heard about National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week? I thought you all may be interested in knowing about September 10-16, 2007, a week to share about the challenges and prevalence of living with invisible illness or pain.

I live with Diabetes and am so glad for the opportunity to help others understand about invisible illness. If you'd like to know more, I invite you to visit www.invisibleillness.com.


My Prayer:

Jesus please touch the hearts of those who suffer with an invisible illness. Help each of us to trust in you to give us strength and courage to face what's before us each day. Help us to reach out in a loving way to help others to understand and be supportive.
