Time for Winter to be Done!
Although I have enjoyed playing with my iPhone and taking pictures this snowy winter, I am ready for spring. The last few days the weather has warmed up and my daffodils are peeking their little green spikes out of the ground. I am ready to feel...
Help! My Refrigerator is Radioactive.
I have developed a new talent. Well, actually talent isn’t quite the right word. Just to be clear, this is a trait that I seem to have honed to quite a skill.
Let me show you a peek at my new artwork.
This lovely picture is not paint…can we just leave it at that?
Well, maybe I should back up a bit. Step out with me to the garage, home of the…
EXTRA FRIDGE…or icebox as I used to call it until my husband finally broke me of the inherited, outdated term. (Just in case you’re wondering, I still use the word pocketbook…)
I would have put this in my Kitchen Battle series, but this is clearly a garage issue.
Yes, today, I decided to tackle a job I have been putting off…
For a long time.
Apparently a very long time.
So now you you’re getting a clearer picture, so to speak, of said art. Whatever it was, it is a piece of work. Not sure exactly what this used to be…yes it is that far gone. I think this may have, at one time, been the last of a chicken dish that no one really liked. Or possibly it could be part of last year’s science fair project. You know how kids are bad about leaving stuff laying around…
So anyway, I opened this container. Oh mercy.
I decided I needed a little gear, as I nearly passed out from the smell.
Just so you know, the Hubb’s sleep machine is a multi-purpose piece of gear. You can put that on Pinterest if you like–just the sort of Go-To Tips that make life worth living in the Pin-o-sphere.
Armed and ready, I returned to the disaster zone, or scene of the crime (depending on what kind of house-keeper you are), and got to work.
Once the first specimen was taken care of with hot water and a mighty whirl of the disposal, I decided I might as well do all of them. Really, procrastination is one thing, but even I have a limit.
Staring procrastination in the face.
Eventually even us reluctant house divas must say enough’s enough! Let’s just say this was not exactly a Proverbs 31 Woman moment.
If you have an out-of-the-way fridge, you can save this task as a rainy-day activity when the kids are good and bored. Just take away all electronics for a few hours and your children will be so stir crazy that they will do anything for a little entertainment.
In fact, when I was growing up, my brother and I sometimes played a little game called, Find the Oldest Date in the Freezer. My mom, having a full size extra freezer in the basement, had taken this skill to a much higher level. Our biggest find was pork chops from 1974.
Quite possibly, this talent could be genetic.
When it comes to things our mother’s do, have you ever said, “I’ll NEVER do that?” Well, let me tell you, it is just best not to say that…
Here’s a look at another treasure I found.
Can I just say this…not proud.
A gentle reminder here, this is not a petrie dish. Not sure, but this just might be radioactive. But at least I can identify what this was before the unfortunate attack of the mold–cranberry relish made last Thanksgiving.
The recipe stated that the relish would keep for a long time in the fridge, but I guess that 3-4 months is pushing it. Better make a note on the recipe–use by Christmas.
And then there was the chilli.
The last dish that I did away with was far more recent. Just a few weeks old. In fact it still looked quite tasty…until I lifted the lid of the tupperware. Unfortunately, I cannot show you this, because digital technology has not yet developed a scratch and sniff app.
Let’s just say that white bean chill, as good as it is when it is fresh, smells MUCH worse that petrified cranberries.
Really.
And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
So what’s your refrigerator look like?
What My Eyes See This Winter
Winter days slip by cold and quiet. There is a beauty that covers the mundane when air is crisp cold and ice crystals reflect light.
Trees stripped of the majesty of fall color, medicine show off the bare-boned, stark splendor of twig and branch.
For the one who looks closely, the wonder of winter is magnified in the intricacy of a single snowflake–one in millions, no two are alike.
Stopping time at my fingertips, it is a joy to live the art of capturing glory. It is time to hold in my hand the miracle of a day, the splendor of light and glimpse of God that is all around.
To stop and look. To appreciate these moments in time, releases the art within and around. Seeing becomes worship and creativity is the joyous expression of God within. Asking God for eyes to see, really see, the wonder of this day…
Pour out the beauty God has placed within you. Can we open our lives in praise to the One who creates beauty all around, inside and out?
“In Him was life and the life was the light of men.”–John 1:4
Rejoice that God is good. His creative artistry rings all around. All creation sings His glory, just as sunlight splinters in ice.
“A man can receive nothing unless it is given him from heaven.”–John 3:27
An excerpt from a book that has meant a lot to me:
“Release your art into the world, for the glory of God and the benefit of others.
Because you were also made to live art.
It’s time to rescue our beautiful design from the dark grip of doubt and discouragement. It’s time to remember the Spirit of power and love and a sound mind who lives within us. It’s time to live as though we believe we have something to offer.
It’s time to release our authentic selves to the world.”
Emily Freeman, A Million Little Ways, p. 17
How to Make the Most of Each Day: When Waiting is Hard
We often struggle when waiting is hard. Difficult circumstances, discouragement, impatience, and doubt are a few of the challenges of waiting. Learn to make the most of your wait by resting in the Lord, tips on waiting with faith from Psalm 37.
Today the pressure of the wait flattens me against the floor, feeling like it is going to push the heart right out of me.
Wait patiently for Him.
This waiting word, chuwl, is not a pretty word. It doesn’t sit easy. The Hebrew essence of this word can make your hair wild and your eyes run like rivers with tears that come from deep places. To wait patiently holds in its meaning the angst of a woman in labor: twist, whirl, dance, writhe, fear, tremble, travail, be in anguish, be pained.
No, this is not a word for wimps or cowards.
I fight against the discouragement of a seemingly long season of waiting for lots of things. Questions for the future, life transitions, and work that seems to fly into the abyss of the internet. Heart pressing through the rhythm of fingers on a keyboard. I feel stuck…like a teacher with no class, a preacher with no congregation, a loner with no sidekick. Yet still this passion stirs and grows and I cannot stop.
I hope it is a holy passion, but I question myself.
The day I wrote these words in my journal, I wanted to throw in the towel and quit. Perspective blurred by discouragement, the work of years seemed pointless. None of this is true, but emotions can be a powerful force. Too often I feel like I am marooned at my computer and there is little encouragement of response or community that I can see.
Nevertheless, I know in my soul that quitting is not an option.
God reminds me that in all of our struggle to wait patiently, He is bringing forth something of value–the gritty, beautiful strong stuff of life– character, dreams, plans, callings, healing, growth, victory… At times, this wait-word is translated as to bring forth or to hope–and this points us in the right direction. In the waiting we can choose to believe that He is faithful.
Friend, are you discouraged in a waiting time? Does the distance of the wait tempt you to forget that God is for you?
We have to learn this hard thing called spiritual perseverance.
It is in seasons of waiting that faith grows strong as we continue to dwell and trust and cultivate and do and rest. Every step for making the most of each day is intended to fill up those waiting times.
Discouragement may pound on us at times, but waiting can be filled with many good blessings.
Trusting God in the wait means letting go of the what if’s. Believing God enables us to rest and grow while we wait rather than pacing the floor with restless frustration. How many times have we mistaken not now for not ever?
Strength for the wait:
Truly, if we wait without resting and trusting, the waiting closes in like iron bars of a prison. When God writes wait on the calendar of our plans, He is always working. He never wastes a good wait.
Maybe it is time to remember that I am waiting with God.
When emotions get us down, we have to be intentional with our soul talk.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I have hope in Him.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him… Lamentations 3:20-25
So, where does the spiritual meet the practical in all this?
Today I choose to wait with God as I make the most of this day…
- Let go of fretting
- Trust God and do good
- Dwell in the land
- Cultivate faithfulness
- Delight myself in God
- Trust Him for the desires of my heart
- Commit my way to Him
- Believe He will do it
- Rest in the Lord
As I wait patiently for Him.

How to Make the Most of Every Day: When we Hate to Wait, Part 6
Dressed for summer heat, I shivered in a cold office as I waited for the doctor to come in. I waited. And waited. My stomach growled, reminding me it was lunchtime. Finally giving up, I peeked my head out the door and went to find someone–only to find out that the staff had left for lunch. Who does that?
This brings me to a couple of my least favorite words–especially when they show up together: wait. patiently.
Aghhhh….waiting is hard, and it seems we spend half our days waiting on something or someone. Waiting is uncomfortable, often filled with unanswered questions, frustrations, and uncertainties.
Waiting is what we do in the gap between now and not yet.
Waiting for things to change.
Too often, I have equated waiting with a powerlessness and inactivity–we can do nothing now but wait kind of thinking. There is a lack of control in waiting that can drive us nuts if we are make-it-happen kind of people.
Then there are the dark days of discouragement in which waiting looks and feels a lot like failure. Sometimes we interpret waiting as failure on God’s part to answer our prayers, to give us what we needed. We do all kinds of crazy spiritual and mental gymnastics when we’re stuck in the waiting rooms of faith.
Waiting can seem like lost time. However, in God’s economy, waiting is never a wasted opportunity. <Tweet this.
He is using the wait for His purposes.
What are you waiting for?
The better question is WHO are we waiting for? Too often, I’m not waiting for God. I’m waiting for a situation to change, something to happen, a time to come. I’m all wrapped up in the moment, and I forget that God is in the waiting.
When waiting makes us feel forgotten.
Think about many characters in the bible–waiting was significant portion of their lives. Joseph and Paul spent many days in prison–it probably seemed like God was never going to answer. Without patience born of faith, it would have seemed that God had forgotten them.
Remember David? Knowing that he had been anointed as king of Israel, he spent years running and fighting for his life…waiting on God.
Just waiting…
All of these things–ourselves, other people, our situations, our hopes–they are all wrapped up in God. They are in His hands; He is sovereign and it is in Him that we live and move and have our being. He is the One who sets the boundaries and sustains all things.
When we learn to wait patiently for Him, we grow in faith. We begin to believe that He has a reason, a plan, a purpose. Patience is nourished by faith, and this makes all the difference as we learn to wait with purpose.
You can’t wait patiently if you’re not resting in Him. And you can’t rest if you’re not trusting in Him. The clear instructions in Psalm 37: 1-7 are all life strategies to make the most of every day, even in the waiting days.
Especially in the waiting days.

Why You Need to Rest in the Lord
What kind of rest do you need? Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted? Learn why you need to rest in the Lord as you include various kinds of rest in your lifestyle. Trusting God brings a kind of rest that brings life and peace.
Rest in the Lord.
Now that is one of those statements that is easy to say…but so hard to do. You see, I like to be busy. When I am busy, I feel productive. And when I feel productive, I feel valuable, like my time on earth is being well spent.
Then there are times when there are just too many tasks left over at the end of the day. The day lasts too long and morning cracks open too early. Exhausted.
Ever feel this way?
We are busyness addicts, compulsively filling our lives with work and commitments, as well relationships and activities. Sometimes because we want to; sometimes because we have to. Others jump on board, adding even more weight to a schedule with no room to breathe. Then there’s the peeps we love and all that they need-can’t say no to that…
[tweetthis]We say yes and yes…and yes ourselves into a frenzy.[/tweetthis]
A worn-out whirl of a frenzy.
We need to rest.
A recent Gallup poll states that 40% of Americans don’t get enough sleep. And yet, sleep is only one form of rest. In reality, we have a variety of needs that call for rest, that sweet, sanctified time given by God for infusing energy back into tired lives.
Different kinds of rest we need.
- Rest from doing: physical and mental rest from too much activity and the problem of overcommitment. Even good things can become too much.
- Rest of body: commit to get enough sleep.
- Rest from work: misplaced priorities can get us stuck in the tyranny of the urgent.
- Rest from conflict: remember that God goes before us and is a mighty refuge.
- Rest from social interaction: take time to come away with God and pray.
- Rest from noise: turn off all the buzz of radio, TV, and iPods. Quiet is good for the soul.
- Rest in being: resting in our identify rather than striving to make ourselves who we already are.
- Rest in faith: believing God frees us from the work of worry.
What is this crazy-wonderful-strange thing called rest?
The word rest contains a variety of meanings including the following: to be silent, be still, and wait.
Here’s my favorite rest stop:
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29 NASB).
Take a weight off your shoulders as you read this same verse in The Message:
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
Rest in the Lord, those unforced rhythms of grace that come when we live light in the embrace of faith.
Sweet friend, don’t let life overwhelm you to the point that you are falling apart at the seams. In a tight, hard spot, exhausted by anxiety and overcome by uncertainty, I once heard God speak to my spirit in the deep of the night:
Child, lay it down before you fall down. Rest in me.
[tweetthis]Lay it down before you fall down. Rest matters.[/tweetthis]

Live Love This Valentine’s Day
Loving others well can be challenging. As we focus on love this Valentine’s Day, be inspired to receive God’s love for you. When we have God’s love within, we can love others with a pure heart. Be inspired this Valentines’ Day with reflections on Agape, God’s kind of love found in 1 Corinthians 13 and other passages. Don’t miss my Valentine’s Gift available in my Subscriber Library at the end of this post!
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and love is at the heart of this holiday:
“If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal… and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ” (1 Corinthians 13:1-2).
Okay, let’s be honest here. This just doesn’t go down easy. Sure, it’s easy to get all holy-ed up, kind of like getting gussied up for a ball. Dressed in glitter and satin, it’s easy to feel great about singing with the angels.
But all too soon the ball is over and our good intentions about loving others fade into the ordinariness of life. Life where folks get on your nerves (every last one of ’em), say things that hurt your feelings, and sometimes do things that are just plain wrong.
This is where grit and holiness collide and we have a choice to love.
Motivation comes down to choice when it comes to doing what we do with love. Or not.
If I take this passage at face value, and I am, love is what infuses value into my actions. Most of us won’t speak with angel tongues, and we probably won’t move mountains with bulldozer faith. But even if we did do these spectacular feats, without love we might as well be singing off-key in the shower.
Without love, the best of our doing is just noise.
Like I said, this just doesn’t go down easy. Whatever it is that I can do for God, I am just going through the motions if love isn’t at the heart of it.
If I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere and my best work is nothing more than rubble at my feet. Oh, this is a hard thing.
“No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love” (The Messgage).
So how do we live out love God’s way?
God’s definition of love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-9 is a well-known Bible passage on love. In reality, it is a powerful description and definition of Christian love. How do we put the attributes of God’s love, agape, into practice in our relationships? Truth is, this is easier said than done.
You can read 1 Corinthians 13 in three versions when you click this link. Reading a variety of translations can help us go deeper into a passage. Three versions I like to read together are NASB, The Message, and The Amplified Bible. As you read, you’ll see what I mean about the challenge of loving others God’s way.
More challenging words from 1 Corinthians 13, God’s love manifesto:
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Ouch.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Oh dear.
Love…
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Can we stop now?
Love…
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything…
Really?!
Love…
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Last time I checked, my love didn’t quite look like this. Overwhelmed, I want to give up and stay in bed, throwing the covers over my head. I feel discouraged when despite my good intentions, my selfishness barges in, and I blow it…again. My heart is willing and wanting to love others with the purity of agape, the Greek word for perfect love. When I rely on my own, limited and often self-focused ability to love, the outcome falls short.
This is when I need to remember what true love is.
These famous words are a description of God’s complete love. This is the love He has for each one of us, whether or not we love Him back…or even believe He exists.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16 NASB).
Same word, same love in both of these passages (agape), and it is gift wrapped with our name on it.
If this is God’s love defined for us, the way He loves us, then is also a picture of how His love can work in and through us.
When I bang my head against the wall of my sin, I must remember that I can’t produce this kind of love by myself.
It is not in me.
- I can’t just reach deeper in my pocket and pull it out of a heart gone wild with self.
- I won’t find this kind of love sitting on the shelf in the grocery store.
- I can’t borrow it from a neighbor like a cup of sugar.
- I can’t fake it.
- I can’t dress it up and pretend.
God isn’t fooled, and He sees right through all of this effort.
This kind of love is only found in one place of hope:
“….and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who was given to us” (John 13:34).
Here’s the truth of it:
We love
BECAUSE
He first
Loved us.
(1 John 4:19)
So when it’s hard to love others with this complete God-love, I come back to this:
” …God is love…” (1 John 4:16).
And the best part is, He’s willing to share. He is willing to dwell within our hearts, growing love from the inside to the outside. Blossoming forth from motivation to action, Christ expresses Himself as love.
So here’s my prayer for you and for me:
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
and that you, being rooted and grounded in love…
Ephesians 3:16-17
This Valentine’s Day, receive the love that fills up and overflows. Then turn around and give what you’ve got–true love that never fails.
How are you showing love this Valentine’s Day?
My Valentine’s Day gift for you!

How to Make the Most of Each Day This Year: Let God Bring it, Part 4
Let’s continue diving into Psalm 37 and God’s simple instructions for living life full out. Choosing and releasing, learning and letting are all tangled up in the bare bones of Psalm 37:1-5:
Don’t fret
Don’t envy
Trust God
Do good
Dwell
Cultivate faithfulness
Delight in God
Commit your way to God
Keep on Trusting Him
When my focus runs like a wild thing, searching in a million directions, the world seems way too big. I feel too small to make a difference. I give into worry, fretting about people and situations, as problems grow bigger than God in my skewed emotions. When my selfish desires strong-arm my good intentions, I wonder, Why in the world would a holy God spend His time on me? These are the moments, the days when I need to keep working on these simple habits of faith. Trust, dwell, delight…
Footsteps of faith
Making the most of each day has everything to do with taking these daily footsteps of faith, realizing they are all different ways of trusting God.
When we keep putting one foot of faith in front of the other, choosing to trust God today, to do good today, to be all there today, to delight in God, the hardest of days will become a most-kind of day.
Here’s the key.
What we do matters.
What we choose matters.
What we believe matters.
I started out this year with an unsettled restlessness, unsure of my path as I keep passing my days with heart trying to work its way out through the clacking of my fingers on a keyboard. Trying to measure what I cannot see, I ask God, am I really doing what I am supposed to be doing? Am I faithfully following Your plan, the God-given desires You’ve placed in my heart? Or am I stubbornly, determinedly trying to fit into a mold of my own making?
Overcoming self-doubt
As I lay my heart open in these words of Psalm 37, God presses in with a whisper, Trust in Me with your whole heart. Commit your desires and concerns, your fears and failures to Me. Dwell where you are…which is in Me.
Cultivate faithfulness by feeding on truth. Digest it and it will nourish your life. Work hard, but don’t let the work take My place. It is part of your life, don’t let it become your life. It is something you do, not something you are.
When we trust and dwell…
God does the heavy lifting, transforming our hearts and bringing out the best in us.<Tweet this.
Concentrate on the simple things, these dwelling things, and I will bring you where you are going. Delight in Me, not in your way, not in your doing. Now is the time to live it out. Now is the time to make the most of each day, and I will bring it.
I am seeing anew that these footsteps of faith, these daily habits of trusting and delighting in God, place me right where I need to be–secure in the circle of His arms. Letting go of myself, I can receive what He is doing, the transforming stamp of God on a life.
He will
bring forth
your righteousness.
The work that bogs down a soul comes when I try to make myself right. Forgetting that God is the only one who can and will bring out His life in me, I run the treadmill of try harder and do more.
It is God’s way of doing and being right that our souls crave. This bringing forth is His work in us and it is righteousness that is received rather than achieved.
How crazy-backwards we mix up the work of this faith life. The only work required is to trust Him, to live life believing. He is the one who brings it.
And when God brings it, we will truly experience the most and the best of each day.< Tweet this.
How are you learning to let God bring it in your life?
If you would like to be part of God bringing it forth, share this post on Facebook. Thanks for sharing!
How to Make the Most of Each Day This Year: Commit Your Way, Part 3
How to make the most of each day? We find it all spelled out in Psalm 37. Welcome back to this series. Part 1 and Part 2.
Commit your way to God.
Ever thought through what it means to commit your way to God? In reality, this is our life journey, and it includes our direction, manner, course of life, and moral character. Needless to say, our way covers a lot of personal territory.
All your ways.
Are you a morning person or a night owl? Is your personality extroverted or introverted, or somewhere in between? Are you a list maker or a “go where the wind takes me” kind of person? Do you struggle to curb your tongue, complete tasks, or keep your house clean? Have you committed these things to God?
Whether your journey has been smooth or filled with bumps in the road and unexpected turns, commit your way to the Lord.
Trust Him with the whole journey.
Say it out loud and write it down. “Lord, my way, my journey, and my life is Yours. I commit my way to you and I trust you with my life.”
Relationships
Personality
Vocation and education
Experiences
Gifts and Talents
Ministry
Dreams and goals
Right in the middle of who we are and what we are doing, this is where God wants to be.<Tweet this. Roll your cares, questions, and concerns onto Him. Place in His capable hands your hopes and dreams, the desires of your heart. Make the most of each day this year as you commit your way to the Lord.
Which way should I go?
Have you ever tried to go two directions at once? It isn’t possible–believe me, I’ve tried. You can’t go left and right at the same time, and you can’t live for yourself and for God at the same time. Eventually we get caught in the tension of trying to live for self and for God, and this is an exhausting, miserable place to be. I have spent too many days trying to hang on to self and hang onto God.
Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount that we cannot serve two masters:
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” Matthew 6:24
Later, James writes about the instability of being a double-minded man who is driven and tossed by the winds of life. There is an uncomfortable stress that takes up residence in our hearts when we try to live a divided life–part for God and a lot for self. Anxiety and confusion also result when we only partially trust God, living on the part-way plan.
Go all in.
“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6 AMP).
Go all in. Don’t hold back. Commit your way to the Lord and trust Him with the results.
He will do it.
The burden of proof is on Him.
