Worrying is Not an Option
What if worrying were not an option? What if we had only two options: 1. Trust God 2. Let go of control. Actually, as part of humankind, we all worry at one time or another. It’s in our nature. But wouldn’t it be fabulous if we could not worry; if we simply could not access […]
Desires of Your Heart
So many women share with me that the question they are most often asking is “What is my destiny?” The post below is an entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet. As you may know, this devotional is a compilation of journal entries from my personal quiet times with the Lord. These writings come out […]
Unless the Lord Builds The House
The last few weeks I have been meditating on Psalm 127:1. Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. This Psalm is ascribed to King Solomon whose great wisdom was widely recognized. The verse could read this way: Unless […]
Letting Go of the Old
When God is leading us to take a step out in faith, it can be scary. But when we follow God’s lead, we get to join Him in the new thing that He is doing in our lives. Sometimes embracing that new thing can mean letting go of the old thing – even if it’s […]

What is Your Story?
Everyone has a story to tell. Don’t you just love it when you sit with friends and share funny stories? I did this the other day with some new friends. We were asked to do a promotional video for a musician (no I was not playing an instrument or singing). The promotional was for a […]
Peace and Joy are Not Options
Today’s subject on Abiding Space Blog is based on the Scripture Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. What strikes me in this Scripture is that as believers, a part of God’s kingdom, we cannot opt out of kingdom […]
Faith Moving Forward
This past weekend I was the speaker at an annual Anglican Women’s Conference. My topic was Faith Moving Forward and I want to share with you some insights that I gleaned as I prepared for my time with them. The definition of faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. In Matthew 17 and […]
