The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews

I love a good read! and this book keeps you guessing. The style of Andy Andrews leaves you wondering how much of this story is fiction and how much really happened. Considering the pictures we are shown at the end, I choose to believe there is more than a little fact to the tale of romance. I also enjoyed learning about the history of a period of time in America that we hear little about.... definitely a story about second chances and faith redeemed!

Loving You

Today is my awesome Husband's 49th birthday!! We have been together forever! He has been with me through my very worst and is truly God's greatest gift to my life. He LOVES when I write him poetry. Below is his birthday poem! Before I knew what love was, You saw me. Before we ever held hands, You knew me. My soul- Your soul forming together So near, completely unaware…. Unaware that God had a master plan. In shaping me, He thought of you…. He gave me eye...

Be careful who you tell your dreams to!

I went with my son recently to see a production of Joseph and the Amazing Coat at a local community college. As I sat in the dark theater and watched the young men in the production, one of the lessons in the first part of the story hit me fresh and clear. Joseph told his dream to the wrong people at the wrong time. In his naivity, he thought his brothers would rejoice with him when he shared his dreams with them. Instead, it caused their jealous to turn to hatred of him and the favor of the father on his life. Many times in my own life, I have been too quick to share what God is showing me about the future with others. The truth is not everyone is called to share your dreams. There are circumstances and life issues people deal with that get in the way of their ability to 'rejoice with those who rejoice'. Just because you are there for other people does not mean they are capable of being there for you. Wisdom teaches us to wait and be careful about our conversation and 'the...

A Cry for our Prodigals

When we see those that we love wandering into the path of destruction, we want so badly to stop them. We want to grab them, shake them, wake them up. But God has given each of His children a free will. He is watching. He is interceding. He won’t leave us alone in our worry. He offers each of us the peace of God in the middle of each mess. He knows the helplessness we feel. Only the Holy Spirit can give us the peace that passes understanding. Holy Spirit, move today. Come and fill each parent who is suffering for their wayward child. Breath peace upon each husband pleading for a prodigal wife. Pour in the oil for each grandma hurting for the straying grandchild. Hold the wife worn out from crying for the lost husband. We need you. Your word teaches us that you bring the Prodigal home. Today, we bring our prodigals to you. We trust You with them in the mess. Even as the father in Luke 15 allowed his son to leave, we know he wat...
