The Writer’s Soul – Burdened to Write a Tribute to the Queen

1 Comment / Emotions, Ministry / womenofgracewriters

Tears flow down my cheeks. Manifestations of two diametrically opposed emotions that pierce my soul-profound grief, yet unspeakable joy. The Queen is dead yet RISEN. I am watching BBC news, following the trajectory of the funeral of this great woman as she is laid to rest in the vault at Windsor castle. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/watch-live-queen-elizabeth-iis-state-funeral. She will be buried beside […]

The Writer’s Soul – Inspired and/or Transparent.

2 Comments / Ministry, Spiritual / womenofgracewriters

I have often wondered in amazement about the writers of the Bible—how God inspired them to record His Word for His purposes of guiding, instructing, blessing, and inspiring people for countless years in the future—how they responded to their most sacred charge of accurately documenting the message of God’s plan of redemption of humanity. The writers,

Faith Not Fear – In Awe of God

3 Comments / Emotions / womenofgracewriters

Too often when people hear the word, “fear,” they interpret it negatively—it does not always have the undesirable connotations that first come into our minds. For instance, after hearing and reading in the Bible about the “fear of God,” I quickly learned that it did not mean I was to be afraid of God but that

What? Coffee Shop Apologetics

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have

What? That wasn’t my plan!

Behaviors, Spiritual / womenofgracewriters

My initial plan for writing this blog was to open with a commonly used phrase from the poem by Robert Burns in 1785: “The best-laid schemes of mice and men go oft awry”; or we often quote it as learned in school – “the best-laid plans of mice and men oft go astray.” The essence of the

In Good Hands – We are!

Spiritual, Uncategorized / womenofgracewriters

The sight of Jesus on the cross, the nails pierced through His hands, comes to mind when I think of being “in good hands.” Those bleeding hands and where they struck the spear into His side represent the blood shed for our salvation and our healing at Calvary. It was His “good hands” when Jesus

In Good Hands – Are you? Was he?

Behaviors, Spiritual / womenofgracewriters

He was just a little boy, a good student, and dependable. His college days produced an excellent scholar. He was noticed by the Roman guard at an outing testing his strength. Soon after he was recruited by the Roman centurion to work at the palace. Nothing phased him. He did what he was told. Time passes and he finds himself

In Good Hands – Peace in Adversity

1 Comment / Emotions, Spiritual / womenofgracewriters

Tuesday of this week was not an especially good day for me. Starting off the day, I had an 8:15 doctor’s appointment to talk about the results from a recent test I had taken. These results were not what I expected nor what I wanted. Later, that day I had a dental appointment. I have

Vision – Tunnel Vision

1 Comment / Behaviors / womenofgracewriters

I have recently been thinking about the term “tunnel vision”. This is a metaphor for holding tightly to the promises of God; walking in, not wandering from, His narrow path. My Google searches revealed that the term came to psychology from ophthalmology. Oculists call tunnel vision the vision of people in whom the peripheral region of the
