10 days between posts does NOT a blogger make…..Life is just so freaky fast isn’t it? I have been pressing towards my FOCUS quest shared about HERE. Working to be certain that my days are in some sort of order and attempting to apply a tiny bit of a higher…
Honey and I ventured out on what has become our daily exploration drive yesterday and ended up in Tennessee!! We won’t talk about the fact that it was by accident, or that it happened at the end of the day, as darkness that only the mountains understand was approaching, or…
Greetings favored woman of God! The Lord is with you!! Luke 1:28 NLT Wow. Now THERE is a divine appointment. What precious words. Priceless. Timeless. Life Changing. Can you just imagine Mary’s first response to those words? As a woman we sometimes yearn for words of blessing and…
I love a fresh calendar! They absolutely DEMAND a fresh new start. Weeks, days and hours filled with the unknown and waiting to be embraced, experienced and enjoyed. There will be laughter. There will be tears. There will be confusion and there will be clarity. There will be favor and…

Hey Friend, Happy 2025! You may have heard me share that my theme for the new year is THRIVE in 2025. After last year’s theme, LESS IS MORE in 2024, the word THRIVE has taken on a fresh and exciting meaning for me. (HEAR MORE ON THIS PODCAST!) With that…
The first thing that struck me going through the family tree was Abraham. In Genesis Abraham is told to "leave his country" and he does, no questions asked. It made me wonder how many questions I ask God before I actually do what He has asked of me.
Secondly, it made me remember Hagar and how awfully she was treated by Sarah. When Hagar fled God found her. She said to Him, "You are the God who sees me". I love that verse. It's such a great reminder that God sees us wherever we are. He knows our circumstances, knows everything about us. What a great reminder of His love for us.
And last, the birth of Christ. The one who came to save us all. Sweet Jesus. The comfort in that alone is simply amazing.
Thanks for doing this Pat!!
Love you.
Pat, love this post..thanks for doing it..Mary never ceases to amaze me in how she faced the pregnancy. I just always wonder what she was like, what she felt, how she acted, etc. Really appreciated your thoughts today!
Thanks Pat for your thoughts on Matthew 1. I liked where you said, EVERY LIFE MATTERS! (I needed to read that in the middle of caring for a sick child, folding laundry, running errands and cooking dinner).
When I look at the genealogy, I am blown away by all of the different kinds of people.
Abraham, King David, Rahab and Mary, just to name a few.
God’s plan is big enough to include all kinds of people, flaws and all. And it is marked by grace.
~ Is my life, (my daily-ordinary life) marked by grace?
~ Grace is a gift. Do I just receive it and not extend it to others?
~ By showing grace to others, can I in some way show them a small part of who Jesus is?
