timing is everything

God answers prayer.  The awesome thing about that statement isn't always the answer I receive.  It's the way He answers...and when.  
He knows the answers we need and exactly when we need them.  When the answer will speak directly to our hearts...when we'll know without a doubt this answer is directly answering a prayer we've uttered as a whisper of our heart...when it will surprisingly wrap around us like a hug from God Himself.
He is that good. 
All the time.

    This is so true. I love it when he answers a prayer I haven't even prayed, like he provides what I need before I even put together that I needed it. how faithful!

    Your words are a hug today...just what I needed to hear.

    This is a stunning photo. Are you using a macro lens?

    This post really resonates with me...I've been giving a lot of thought to prayer lately. Thank you for some much-needed hope and encouragement.

    Wonderful reminder. Sometimes it's hard not to get the answer we want, but in the end, it all makes sense.

    Seems like I have been saying this so many times this past few wks. I know a lot of people having issues that are saying "God is not listening to me." My mother in law was one of this people. I reminded her about the birth of my Schyler and my prayer during that time. It is hard and never easy.. but one thing is always for sure. God will provide a answer in his time, and in his way. Let thy will be done!

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here.  I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta.  The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart.  I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball.  Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...

Wednesday's Walk...Janis Lynn

In searching for a photo from my senior year in college, I was bombarded with sweet, sweet memories of one of my closest college friends....Janis Lynn MacLeish.  I met Janis in the fall of 1993 when she came to Taylor University Fort Wayne.  She was in my wing of Lexington Hall.  Although, I was her RA, Janis taught me so much about life and living in a very short time that I often felt she did a better job leading than I ever could.  Life was never the same for me after she and I became friends.  It was oh, so much better!  The room brightened when Janis finally awoke and entered through the door of one.  She befriended the likes of anyone and made no enemies...except for the girls who were jealous of her for one reason or another.  Her laughter echoed throughout the halls everyday.  One knew when Janis was away for the weekend for it was creepily quiet on campus. Janis ...
