Taking the time to appreciate all those that are working diligently and faithfully for this country. They have exceptional jobs. The benefits are amazing yes, but what about the time that is invested here. They work holidays, weekends, birthdays, anniversaries, or through many life events that pass on by. But they have to do the job. They willingly signed up counting that cost. A sentence that would leave them VERY little room for just life itself. This is pure dedication and commitment. So for the veteran…. We honor you. We celebrate you on this day. We appreciate all that you do. Continue reading

For The Veteran
Restore The Years
So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

Joel 2:25-26 NKJV

Create IN Me
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
~Psalm 51:10
I got up this morning and started my breakfast… coffee, cereal & hard boiled eggs. I love Sundays. Church is at 4:00 pm so I have the entire day to rest, have my breakfast, read, write, pray and worship. It is my best day and least chaotic from the Monday through Saturday madness. As God rested on the 7th day, I take that concept well too.
As I began prepping my breakfast and peeling the eggs I thought of transparency in us as individuals. I thought this one we would call, “Peeling” because no one really enjoys that part. If you don’t cook the egg well enough it is hard to peel. There is this clear layer of skin you have to catch to the shell in order to peel the entire coating off egg without breaking it. This clear part is the most sensitive to get to the inside. This is the part in us that we least desire to remove. But if we did remove this layer and become transparent then maybe it will be the best thing in order for us to discover who we really are within. Continue reading
