You are more than able, you are!Who am I to deny what… Continue reading More Than Able
Hold My Hand
I remember so many things my kids and my nieces and nephews said. They are funny little quips that fit the moment. When Our nephew Dillon was a toddler, he was so creative, smart, and funny. When he wanted to hold your hand he would say (with a funny little British accent that we don't… Continue reading Hold My Hand
Peace Be With You
It seems ironic that as we begin the hectic month of December I am reminded this morning that Jesus is the Prince of Peace! In a month that can seem filled with everything but peace, the irony is not lost on me! I almost laughed when I started reading my devotion because I got up… Continue reading Peace Be With You
WHO AM I?
Photo by Julian Jagtenberg on Pexels.com Who am I? A historically existential question that has been done to death. Whether you struggle, and how deep your soul is longing, makes this question relevant or boring. For me, it's a question I've wrestled with throughout my life. I'm a middle child. And I guess I still… Continue reading WHO AM I?
Another New Year
Every year I experience pretty much the same stages you might go through...denial, napping, procrastination, more napping, starting my diet tomorrow, and finally facing the Christmas decorations and gift returns that I can not put off for another day...and yet I do. I really am excited about the new year, though, I was just hoping… Continue reading Another New Year
Good Friday
It's Good Friday. Our grandkids spent the night last night and Bill was telling the Bible story about good Friday and what it means. He reminded them that it seems strange to call the day Jesus was crucified and suffered "Good" Friday. It was the most painfully hard day for Jesus in every way but… Continue reading Good Friday
Story=Peace
It’s finally spring … the rebirth of old things and the promise of new things to come! I decided in honor of the new season a reintroduction is in order. My blog is called “Storypeace.” My purpose for writing is to tell my story, and maybe even yours at times, in the hopes someone will… Continue reading Story=Peace
Jesus Wins
January of 2022!! I, unfortunately, find myself already metaphorically stuffed from the leftovers of 2020 and 2021… unable yet to celebrate a new year. Bringing in the new year didn’t feel exciting, hopeful, optimistic, or new, for that matter. It felt more like a big cold heaping plate of tired leftovers from the previous two… Continue reading Jesus Wins
GET YOUR IRON UP
Happy New Year!! Good or bad, I am a classic people pleaser. I want everything to run smoothly and happily. I want everyone to love Jesus, each other, and be sweet. I was the first one to marry into the Langley family. I fell in love, not only with Bill but also with his family.… Continue reading GET YOUR IRON UP
It’s A Wrap
Photo by Maria Verkhoturtseva on Pexels.com When we were growing up, my brother would wrap all the Christmas gifts. He took a painstaking effort to make each one special. Before we ripped right into the gift he would say, “Stop, notice the wrapping!” We stopped in mid-air and looked adoringly at the box and would… Continue reading It’s A Wrap
