“Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God […]
We were made to be Courageous!
Look at this beautiful dog, please no petting working dog his harness said. I was traveling back from Texas earlier in the month when this little fella’s obedience and alert watch in service for his owner moved me to capture a photo as I waited in the airport. There was a hustle and bustle surrounding […]
Pause to Praise
If you read my testimony on our website at Heart Uplifted, you would find I personally have had to “pause” repeatedly over the course of too many years recently. My citation there is from the book of Matthew, Chapter 26. “Watch and pray” Jesus asked his disciples. A consideration this morning, insight into watch. It comes […]
Fingerprints
The beauty and majesty of our world is astounding. We are extremely blessed to live in the Adirondacks located in upstate New York. If you have not come to explore this region of the country, do come visit. You will not be disappointed. Mountain views, pristine lakes, forest wild, call of the loons, the balsam […]
Treasure in the Ordinary
“Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden] which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.” Jeremiah 33:3 Transformation. Why are we always looking for the dramatic? It is rebuilding, reconstruction, remolding, redoing and reworking. […]
You Matter
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the waste land.” Isaiah 43:18-19 I am not certain when or if it has always been this feeling of […]
Bring on the mud!
“But those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for and hope for Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; they will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.” Isaiah […]
For ONE
“walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,” Ephesians 4:1 There are so many times the Lord confirms His presence and let’s you know He hears you. There are times I talk as a child for sure. The domino pictured here represents just such a time. They were given […]
Let Him In
“for with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37 Can you rest in that message from the scripture above? No fear, no worry, no pain. And a big one no doubt. When we each can “Let HIM in” how much we gain. Our focus is removed from ourselves and on to the importance of what […]
What is with the fork?
Pin designed in memory of Greg “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived—the things God has prepared for those who love him” 1 Corinthians 2:9 NIV There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to […]
Hummingbird
Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.” John 4:14 MSG The background of our blog design gave us reason to pause. A […]
Waiting for God
Every fall, when the painted turtle senses winter coming, she dives to the bottom of her pond, burying herself in the muck and mud. She pulls into her shell and goes still: her heart rate slows, almost stopping. Her body temperature drops, staying just above freezing. She stops breathing, and she waits. For six months, […]
Heart Uplifted
For a time I was a teacher, then middle management in the corporate world and now an entrepreneur. My absolute best role is Mom, which is work I love and adore. Where I started out in my career and what I thought was intended is certainly not where I ended up. But each opportunity has […]
