Firefly Interview

I began employment with Firefly Home Care in September 2021. I did not understand why I was led to this company after Petunia relocated to heaven in August. I had hoped my time in Goshen was at an end; however, God answered my prayer for direction by bringing “Firefly” to mind. Following that nudge, I Read More …

Emptiness

Many years ago I was part of a women’s group that typically met once a month for Bible study and fellowship. Our leader was an older woman with the precious gift of hospitality. She had a gracious heart and made each one of us feel welcome in her home. Sometimes I was drawn more to Read More …

Leaving Goshen

When I arrived in Goshen five years ago, I believed it would be for a short time frame. God had prepared me for the move one month prior but did not indicate the length of my stay. God’s reason for sending me back to Indiana was unknown, but I trusted Him to provide all that Read More …

Don

I was prompted to serve at a church satellite campus in 2014 by the Holy Spirit. The main campus was located in Knoxville, and I had attended that location following my move from Indiana in November 2012. The home church had several established satellite campuses, and this campus was the smallest. I had talked to Read More …

Love Heals

I was wide awake around 4 am on October 12, 2016, and experienced a vision. This was a single image and very vivid in detail. I fell asleep afterwards and woke around 6 am following a profound dream. I was actually in the dream. The dream starts with me riding in a car and a Read More …

Christmas 2022

My daughter and I discussed Christmas plans in November. Usually I drive down in a rental car, but she was concerned about the fatigue I experience after the long drive. She checked the cost and discovered that I could fly cheaper this year than rent a car. I was surprised. After consideration of the differences Read More …

Encounter

I stopped at Buddy’s BBQ in Oak Ridge for the Tuesday night special on December 20, 2016. As usual on Tuesday nights, the line was backed up to the door. I squeezed in and then became aware of a man behind me who had managed to enter the door as well. Since the line was Read More …

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

I was thinking about my upcoming birthday, in the early 2000s, about 20 years ago, while I was sitting at work. Usually the birthday fund in the office provided a cake for an employee’s birthday, but on occasion this did not happen if several birthdays had recently occurred. I was excited about my birthday that Read More …

Visitation

The power went off on Tuesday morning, July 10, 2013, at 5:00 a.m., and I awakened immediately. “Oh no!” was my first thought. The weather forecast had predicted another hot summer day and it would not take long for the cool of the evening to be replaced by the heat of the day inside my Read More …

Help

One Saturday night in October 2021, I left a client’s house in Elkhart at 9 pm after a two-hour shift. As I pulled out of the driveway, something sounded wrong. I parked at the curb and walked around the vehicle. The front passenger tire was flat. I had recently added roadside assistance to my auto Read More …

Keep On Pedaling, 7/29/2022

I want to preface this post by stating that I did not write the words below. This piece showed up in my memories today, from 2014, so that would have been during the years I was living in Knoxville. I was deeply moved the first time I read the words, and today the words and Read More …
