Just me trying to be honest with God.

Some people drown in the depths of God's mysterious ways, others swim, float, even play in the very same ocean.

I am content. I may not understand many things that God allows to happen in this place, but I bow not only to His wisdom, but His goodness. I am learning to trust Him, even if I do not understand His ways.

“Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.” Job 11 Conversations Within” ts Oct 20, 2026



“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust

 I am so grateful for the ability to see. I realize that being grateful, not just for sight, but for what I see, transforms what I see. Grateful eyes change the way we see the world. I can hardly look at anything without waking to God’s presence.

“I pray that...the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.” Eph.1.18 Conversations Within” ts Oct 19, 2026



“A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.” Donna Roberts

 Friends help friends stay the course, but only if the course is good for them. The love nurtured in friendship knows that the wisdom of God will not only help us stay the course, but to discern if the course is worth taking. 

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.' Is.30.21 Conversations Within” ts Oct 18, 2026




When God covers it, it's covered.

 It comforts me to realize that God has always provided for our needs and abundantly so. I love the post resurrection story of how Jesus not only provided 153 large fish (real fishermen keep count) for His disciples He made sure the net did not break when they hauled them in. Rest assured, God will cover your needs down to the last detail.

“So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.” Jo.21.11 Conversations Within” ts Oct 17, 2026



“Child,' said the Lion, 'I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own.” C.S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy

 Time and again I am reminded by the Spirit of Jesus to stop paying attention to the performance of others, and stay focused on my own. It is not for me to judge or compare myself to others. It is my responsibility to keep my eye on the hem of His garment and follow.

“Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remains until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” Conversations Within” ts Oct 16, 2026
