The ‘now’ moments are where we are most alive.

Welcome in the winter season for it is a time to reflect and refresh the soul.

We are in a Season of Love and Faith to Unite with God Against All Odds with Feasts of Dedication.

Our perspective changes when we open our hearts more to God and embrace His love in all we do.

An autumn adventure to the countryside of the Carolinas revealed a masterpiece of fall foliage created by our Heavenly Father where the red rose became the centerpiece of many encounters.

Did you ever have a moment when you wondered to yourself, “Is this a sign from God? Is he speaking to me with a special word or message to guide me through my day?” What are His “signs and wonders” anyway?

As I sipped on my tea in quiet meditation, I heard our Heavenly Father’s voice: “Shelter in my love.”  Why has he put these words on my heart?

A few weeks ago we had some work done on our home. After a couple of days of informal conversations and sharing, Rafael asked if he could share a story with me. My conversation with Rafael led me to a story about pink carnations and God’s love for us.

How do we stay in the life-giving expression of God’s word throughout our day-to-day lives while preventing the shadow of distractions from invading the purity of our hearts?

This is a perfect time of year to take a step-back and give ourselves permission to stop, slow down, take a deep breathe and discover the simplicity of beauty and life that surrounds us.

Stretch and try something new. You never know what an , open heart will lead to!

Even when we may stumble in doubt, if we turn our hearts back to Him, He is there to comfort us with open arms of love and forgiveness. He never hesitates to gives us “a fresh start.”

As we walk through our daily lives, God’s promises and miracles of yesterday are still very much with us in action today, if we are willing to open our hearts to trust and believe in Him.

Inspired by the new season abloom in our garden and our surroundings, my husband and I decided to take a road trip to explore Sonoma County, California.

God opens doors for all us, even when we may feel as though we are living in a season of uncertainty.

Give yourself permission to slow down and embrace the times that call for our patience.

Spring is a season of refreshing one’s soul with hopes and dreams.

He has, is and will always be with us, blessing us with his promises if we choose to Trust in him for all things.

I believe that is important to share with everyone that prayer does work if you believe. If you’ve ever asked ‘how’, my hope that you will find encouragement here.

Creative moments force us to stretch ourselves and take a leap of faith to express what is truly on our hearts.
