What Is Real?
The word for 5 minute Friday is Real.... Real is life.... the good, the bad, and the ugly. Real is the laughter, joys and tears all rolled up into what makes us who we are.For me real is the many things that give my life shape and meaning. Real is waking up every morning with the Lord by my side ready to face a new day. Real is getting my daughter off to school, while talking about what the Lord is showing us in the Bible study we are doing together. Real is coming back home and helping my son with his studies. Real is the laughter in the kitchen as we try out a new recipe together. Real are the doctor appointments that I go to in the afternoon. Real is welcoming my husband home at the garage door with a kiss and a smile, thankful to have my best friend hold me in his arms once again. ... read more
Be Still My Soul
Waiting, it's not any easy thing to do. We have many things in life that we wait for, from waiting in line at the store, to waiting at the doctor's office, to waiting for the light to turn green....what are you waiting for today? Many wait for unanswered prayers, for jobs to be found, and for loved ones to come home. Today in the silence of my soul, I wait...wait for test results from the doctor to come in. I wait with prayer and anticipation for what the Lord will bring. I wait with a thankful heart knowing that the Lord, will not give more than what I can handle. Through the waiting I am reminded of a verse in Psalms... Psalms 37:7a "Be be still before the Lord and wait patiently before him:" In your waiting, turn your heart to the Lord, and wait patiently before him. The Lord does not ... read more
A Blog Makeover Genius
As I have re-launched my blog this week I have a few people to thank for allowing this to happen. First, I want to thank the Lord for placing this on my heart. Secondly, I want to thank my best friend, and wonderful husband Bill for supporting me. Thirdly, I want to thank an amazing woman of God, Traci Michele, for giving my blog a new look. She is definitely a blog makeover genius! Her and I spent most of last week brainstorming over ideas, of how to get the design I wanted. She was very patient with me as she answered all of my requests to get the look just right. She is extremely talented in the work she does. She is able to know just what your thinking and then create that into a layout that is a perfect fit for you. Traci strives to serve Jesus in all that she does, and this is ... read more

Christmas Blessings From the Miller Family
Christmas is a Time... Christmas is a time that we all hold dear, A time when the seasons change and a crispness can be felt in the cold night air. A time when the moon can be seen glowing brightly as the crystals of snow drift in quite whispers across the sky to the stillness of the earth below. Christmas is a time when precious memories are made, Families will draw near by hearth and home to join in love and laughter, with the Christmas lights shinning so vibrantly in the recollections of times that were shared. Christmas is a time to remember the most precious thing of all, the night when a star shown so brilliantly like a diamond in the sky, upon our precious Saviour and Lord. Lying so humbly in a manager He came for everyone to bring life out of death and the gift of God's mercy ... read more

Do You Ever Wish God Could Send You a Telegram?
I came upon a wonderful verse yesterday that really made me stop and think. It is found in Psalm 50:15, "I want you to trust me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you, and you can give me glory." I sometimes find that the opposite of this is true for me. Oh, how easy it is to get bogged down with life's problems and not stop and remember that God is indeed there.It has been 5 years since I was first diagnosed with cancer. At the end of the month I will have another check up to see if I am indeed cancer free. All through this time I felt I went through this for a reason and that it had a purpose behind it. Through all the tears, financial difficulties, physical and emotional scars, I felt as if God was saying something more to me. As it states in the above verse that through our ... read more
