At the Foot of the Cross Where My Heart Is Torn in Two

On April 14, 2022April 13, 2022 By JoeyIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

“It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed …

Keep Waiting

On September 30, 2021September 30, 2021 By JoeyIn Uncategorized2 Comments

Don't be tempted to manipulate your circumstances while you're waiting for God to open that closed door or to answer your request. Yes, waiting is hard work. But you can do it. You NEED to do it. Don't think for a minute that God isn't aware. He's always working behind the scenes on your behalf. …

What In the World?

On September 16, 2021September 16, 2021 By JoeyIn Uncategorized4 Comments

You may be wondering what's happening to our world. It seems like the days of sitting on the porch snapping beans and listening to the rain or the giggles of children sprinting from the bus stop are being replaced. Replaced by what? Maybe you're seeing a whole lot of anger and frustration while you're behind …

Through It All

On September 9, 2021 By JoeyIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Unfortunately, you're going to go through some difficult times in your life. Illness may knock on your door or even barge in when you least expect it like an unwanted guest that's planning to stay for an undisclosed amount of time. Or maybe a relationship you were counting on has crumbled, leaving you heartbroken and …

A Moment to Reflect – Forgiveness

On June 24, 2021 By JoeyIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Forgiveness is crucial. If you hold a grudge and refuse to forgive someone for the way they treated you, the way they hurt you (intentional or not), you're allowing the pain to fester. When you forgive someone, you're not saying what happened was ok. You're not shrugging it off, allowing the person to do it …

When You Don’t Fit In

On May 25, 2021May 25, 2021 By JoeyIn Uncategorized7 Comments

I’m a little out of sorts right now. Every day I leave the sunshine, the blooming peony, and the bubbly calls of the wrens to come downstairs to my secluded basement office where I write Christmas stories. Yes. I’m writing Christmas stories as the temperature outside my tiny window reaches into the 80’s, my Christmas …

Rest

On May 3, 2021January 10, 2022 By JoeyIn Uncategorized2 Comments

Being a little fighter in a great big world is exhausting at times. You keep going and keep trying. You get up early, stay up late, and put in long hours until your eyesight is blurry and your mind isn’t as sharp as it should be for this task. So you head for a cup …

When the World Messes You Up

On March 9, 2021 By JoeyIn Uncategorized7 Comments

This world has messed me up. Maybe it’s messed you up too. It’s like we start our lives as portraits, those we can’t define by ourselves. We study the lines and try to understand the coloring, the shading, and what the overall design is supposed to be. Who we are supposed to be. But then …

Comparing Yourself to Others

On March 2, 2021 By JoeyIn Uncategorized4 Comments

Do you compare yourself to others, thinking you need to be more like them to “make it?” Maybe there are days when you feel like a little bird perched on a branch with the sky above full of eagles and condors. You’re waiting. They’re flying. Just looking at them makes you feel like you’re the …
