refocus

Refocus

VineWords Devotions and More

Timmy could still feel the twist and the turns as he gently planted his feet on firm ground again. It was bright, and as he tried to refocus His eyes to the light, he looked back, peering at the dark tunnel he had just come through…

hidden in the darkness

Hidden in the Darkness

VineWords Devotions and More

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me and lead me in the way everlasting! ~Psalm 139:23-24 ESV   SECRET The night was dark and stormy. All the power was out, so I immediately searched for my flashlight, which was hidden in the darkness. I had lived in this house for sixty-two years. I should have known the floor plan and each item in … Continue reading →

feeling like chopped liver

Feeling Like Chopped Liver

VineWords Devotions and More

Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39 NIV Chopped liver is never on the menu at our home. And neither is feeling like chopped liver.        The Journey We love burgers, tacos, ice cream, and mac and cheese. We plan our meals and enjoy the conversations we have while eating. And hugs and clean jokes … Continue reading →

Humility Explosion

VineWords Devotions and More

It was a humility explosion for me, and for William Smith, but God would need to intervene for this to happen.

Throw Away the Idols

Throw Away the Idols

VineWords Devotions and More

I have a confession: I am a people-pleaser and perfectionist. I needed to throw away the idols. Making mistakes makes me feel less than valuable in others’ eyes. But one week, God allowed me to feel as if mistakes overwhelmed me. I forgot an appointment, I was rude to a waiter, and I had writing errors on a document. I felt embarrassed and shameful—cringing inwardly, knowing friends had seen my imperfections. Until I read Isaiah’s words. This is the way; … Continue reading →

nourished by faith words

Nourished by Faith Words

VineWords Devotions and More

If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. ~1 Timothy 4:6 NKJV Paul wanted him to remember when he had been nourished by faith words.  The table is loaded with an abundance of food. Family get-togethers, holidays, or Sunday lunch brings out our best dishes–the turkey or ham cooked to perfection, creamy mashed potatoes, and … Continue reading →

Forgetting the Past

Forgetting the Past

VineWords Devotions and More

I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. ~Philippians 3:13-14 NLT To work on forgetting the past, I carried sentimental gifts, collections, and other accumulations to my garage for a garage sale. My dark and threatening path through divorce brought me a God-appointed mentor. I had joked with … Continue reading →

What to Do in the W.A.I.T.

What to Do in the W.A.I.T.

VineWords Devotions and More

If you’re anything like me, sometimes waiting can be very difficult. Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick. “And if I’m honest, even though I know God has a greater plan for our lives and His ways are better than anything we could ever imagine, waiting for the things our hearts longs for can at times make us feel like God has forgotten about us and that our dreams may never happen. Yet in faith—we still must wait…

Prepped and Ready

Prepped and Ready

Hurricanes Ian and Nicole hit the Florida coast forty-three days apart in 2022. Since I experienced both, I quickly learned the importance of being prepped and ready with multiple backup plans. Pre-prepping for a hurricane requires collecting shelf-stable groceries, buying a large supply of safe water, fueling vehicles, and stashing some cash. Additionally, we needed all life’s important paperwork gathered and near us.  As an actual hurricane approaches, we move the outside furniture in. Dining umbrellas can become javelins. We … Continue reading →
