“The Harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2 It’s Thanksgiving 2022 and a cold snap has gripped parts of the US with a lot of snow, rain, cold and gloom. Definitely not my favorite kind ofContinue reading “Workers for the Harvest…”

I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free. For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

So today I thought I would write about myself…oh wait…I do that every time! Seriously though, this time I want to bare my soul and talk about self esteem. Do you struggle with that too? All my life, as far back as I can remember I have wanted to create things. When I was 8Continue reading “Self Esteem & Art & Why Am I Amazed?”

This post has been swirling around in my mind for weeks. My emotions are all over the map these days because it is time to move again. Sigh….. It’s been a short 5 years since we moved to Central Texas to plant a church. I’ve written a lot about being the wife of a churchContinue reading “Here we go again…”

I’ve probably written about this before. If I have…just scroll on by. My life as the spouse of a church planter is never dull. Exciting, stressful, painful but NEVER dull! Let’s talk about the exciting part first. The realization of seeing God at work is the most thrilling thing I can think of…next to gettingContinue reading “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up….”

Finally….we were able to take much needed vacation. Life has been so busy lately, with no time for extended rest and relaxation. I believe we all tend to put aside the time for real rest…soul rest, maybe not even realizing how important it really is for our spiritual and physical well being. So…a week atContinue reading “Vacation Clarity”

So today I started a new post…and then I reread the last one I wrote called “A Mumpy Dumpy Day” https://whyamiamazed.com/2021/06/22/a-mumpy-dumpy-day/ and instead of rewriting I will just repost. Same thoughts today as it continues to rain…(definitely over it!) I hope this encourages you to turn to scripture on those days that you feel “downContinue reading “Repeat…And Why Am I A Slow Learner?…..”

You’ve heard me say over and over that I look to God daily to amaze me with His grace and glory. I do look for Him daily….but today I do not feel the amazement. Have you ever just been down in the dumps? Nothing seems to be going right…or wrong…just nothing. Maybe you are waitingContinue reading “A Mumpy Dumpy Day”

So, a few weeks ago I had to have a minor surgery…gallbladder removal to be exact. Y’all are probably thinking..no big deal….right? Well for me, it was a big deal. I have not had many surgeries and was a little proud of that, not to mention that I really have a huge fear of beingContinue reading “Surgery…and why God still amazes me!”

I am still basking in the glow of Easter. A much anticipated celebration after the reverence and contemplation of 40 days of Lent. I have to admit that sometimes I am anxious for it all to be over and by that I mean all of the extra church practices of the season (you know…special music,Continue reading “He Is Risen!”
