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.

But God has given us his Spirit. That’s why we don’t think the same way that the people of this world think. That’s also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us. 1 Corinthians 2:11-13 It is early evening; the long lazy summer has arrived. God has laid His gentle, warming hand [...]

“But so many people were coming and going that Jesus and the apostles did not even have a chance to eat. Then Jesus said, “Let’s go to a place where we can be alone and get some rest.” They left in a boat for a place where they could be alone. Mark 6:31-32 (CEV) It [...]

In preparation of Easter, I have been reading the passage in Luke 18:31-34 where Jesus reminds his disciples of his coming death, and I think, “can I bear to read this again; it is so hard.” I dread the guilt I feel and pain I experience when reading of the cross; it is torture, agony, [...]

The LORD is near the brokenhearted; He saves those crushed in spirit. Psalms 34.18* It was Sunday morning as I headed up the aisle toward my seat; my husband who always arrives first, was waiting. I settled in and prepared for the rest of my family to appear. You know how it is, pleasantries, and [...]

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 [...]

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-10
Do you ever feel like you are in a season when the winds and rains of trouble and difficulty are hitting you from all sides? Times where it seems that every time the winds die down, you find that it is not the end, but only the eye of the storm? Stormy seasons will come. But we have a treasure, a great and mighty treasure ~ the all-surpassing power of God. During difficult seasons, this power gives us the ability to say, “I am not crushed; I am not in despair; I am not abandoned or destroyed!”
Thank you my sweet Jesus! You are my treasure. May your life be revealed in me!
Grateful even in storms,
Nicole
