This is our last faithful Friday of the year. I look back and see God’s faithfulness. While I have a long way to go, I have come far in a year with my health. We saw new diagnoses, more changes, and much adjustment to new ways of living and navigating even very mundane life tasks.…

To be honest, Wednesday this week had me ready for Friday! God faithfully helped us make it through until the actual Friday! How have you seen God’s faithfulness this week? As we talk about faithfulness, let’s watch closely for sightings of God’s faithfulness throughout this holiday season. He loves us so much and has promised…

Isn’t it amazing when we have tangible glimpses of God’s faithfulness through the years? Recently, God has reminded me of how He prepares us even when we don’t realize what He is doing. In the past few years, my allergic reactions to very common things has made navigating life a challenge. It has meant using handkerchiefs…

Isaiah 28:16 “16  Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, A tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: He that believeth shall not make haste.” Our God is a faithful God. He is the foundation for our life. I love this verse as it…

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good! No matter what comes, we know our God is in charge. Yesterday, I had four hours to drive. This is exciting, but also a bit nerve-wracking as I am just getting out again. What I held onto as I started out is that…

In a Bible study I am doing, I have been learning about lament. Our faithful God is not just a God of the “mountaintop” when all is well. He is also a God who is there when we are in the valley. One passage in the study is Lamentations 3. (See below.) I have quoted…

How did you see God’s faithfulness this week? It has struck me the past few weeks that God is faithful through the various seasons of life. God simply is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Are you feeling weak today, weary? God is our strength. He loves you. Are you having a good day? God knows;…

To be honest, the last couple weeks were a bit rough. They involved pain, disappointment at a flare, some fear, and weakness/fatigue from the illness and the meds. It is easy to get discouraged in these tough times. Yet, our God is a faithful God who does not abandon us during these times. We just…

Our God is faithful! Will we praise Him when we do not feel like praising Him? Will we trust Him? This week, after many weeks of wonderful health, I am in a health “glitch.” It is making days long and difficult. Yesterday, I was on the 7th floor of a medical building waiting for an…
