I was born seventy three years ago in Owensboro Kentucky - a pretty little city perched along the Ohio River. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother and I have a rich heritage in memories from which to draw. I recently began blogging true stories and incidents that have occurred in my life. I am now writing some stories of pure fiction glazed with truth. My desire is to gratify the reader and glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Lord gifted me with humor and I enjoy passing it along.

I have wandered through the Bible, and I have taken definite paths when searching. I have been on listening journeys, and asking tours when I traversed the Holy pages. There are times I read in the middle of crowds, or alone in my bed. Often it speaks a personal word to me, just for me. [...]

The title of my new venture (this series) is “Findings.” I thought it would be appropriate to start by mentioning how I arrived at that particular word to use as the series name, it did involve a bit of soul searching. I thought of my life and the paths I have taken; the good influences [...]

Will I ever get too old to learn? If you can believe it, I often have the nastiest taste in my mouth, and I only realized it after I take my foot out. It doesn’t seem to matter if I have my shoe on or if all of my toes are bare, polished applied, or [...]

In the style my Great-Granny (old Kentucky colloquialism) would have told it to me ~ So the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet had said, “A virgin will have a baby boy, and He will be called Immanuel,” which means “God is with us”! As told in…..Matthew 1:22 Begins the greatest story ever [...]

My friend was having a time of devotion and Bible reading the other day while longing for ways to pray for a particular loved one. During the course of reading the scriptures that she studies in a pre-determined manner, not just thumbing through and picking out a daily read, she came upon the answer in [...]

Mark 1:35 Very early the next morning Jesus got up and went to a place where He could be alone and pray. C.E.V. (I long to be like Jesus and to grow in my prayer life.) Personal prayer is such a guarded, private thing. I consider it “open heart” time I spend with my heavenly [...]

A revival of sorts has erupted in the blogging world ~ between Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts and Karen O’Connor’s Basket of Blessings: 31 Days to a More Grateful Heart, a community exists to daily thank God for His blessings. Practicing the acknowledgment of God’s gifts is pivotal to cultivating a heart of gratitude.
In my devotions in Common Prayer, one of the daily acknowledgments reads: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. I read over that every day, honestly quite flippantly. The Holy Spirit nudged me one morning to meditate on the Lord and not casually read over that prayer; encouraging me to give thanks to God for who He is, not only for what He gives.
Thank the Father for His love that reconciled us to Him through His Son; Jesus for being the faithful, ultimate sacrifice for sin; the Holy Spirit for His love that draws us near to Jesus; a love that cleanses, fills, and baptizes.
Each day we should rest in God and acknowledge Him for being God; seeking His face, not only His hand.
Giving Thanks,
Heather
