God is Near to the Broken-Hearted
Today I want to share with you a video that features some of the toys that are in my grandchildren’s playroom at my house. This may seem silly at first – these toys were played with by my children and now my grandchildren and have seen their share of wear and tear – but they […]
Just Say Yes (to Using Your Gifts)
Good morning, my Making Space for God friends! So often we are told to learn to say no. And to be truthful, I find my self telling women often to say no– No to people pleasing No to saying yes to someone because it seems like a good thing to do but it’s hardly the […]
God Delights in Us
How God delights in us, His master creation! When he created the earth He said it was good…. and then He created man and said that it was very good. The pufferfish in this video is trying to attract a female pufferfish. He goes to extravagant lengths to get her attention by using his fins […]
No Weapon Forged Will Prosper

Perfect Love Drives Out Fear
This afternoon, I want to share with you this entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet. This devotional is different than my 365-day devotional in the sense that the entries are specific to issues and emotions that we all face. This devotional is a compilation of journal entries from my personal quiet times with […]

Thought you all might like to explore some of these questions with me. I am intrigued by the two definitions I […]
