Strength For Those People

Written by Rhonda Frye on October 8, 2021. Posted in Inspiration.

Weary? Me too. The events of the past year or so has taken its toll on everybody. The everyday challenges of life are enough, right? Maybe you’re like me–tired. This past week God spoke to my heart about weariness and renewal while I was on vacation. As I sat on the sand staring at the ocean just enjoying His presence, a bald eagle flew past me and landed high in a tree a few feet away. He was majestic, strong, confident and fierce. I zoomed in with my iPhone admiring him for the longest time. I had never seen an eagle that close—if ever, and definitely never at the beach. A crowd...

A Day Late & A Noodle Short

Written by Rhonda Frye on February 12, 2021. Posted in Inspiration.

I rushed home one day last week looking forward to cooking supper—dinner that is for my northern friends. I had planned to make lasagna the day before, but got home too late. I was starving, moving like a whirlwind around the kitchen. I browned beef, stirred in spices, mixed several cheeses and boiled noodles. The mouth-watering aroma filled the air. I then carefully started the layering process—meat, three noodles, cheese. Repeat… meat, three noodles, cheese. Repeat…meat, three noodles, cheese. Repeat…meat, two noodles…. Wait. What? Where’s the other noodle? “GREAT, I’m a day late...

Deuteronomy 13:4 Prayer

Written by Rhonda Frye on February 10, 2021. Posted in Prayer.

“Serve only the Lord your God and fear Him alone. Obey His commands, listen to His voice and cling to Him” (Deuteronomy 13:4). Dear God, I repent of not serving and fearing you alone. Too many times I attempt to serve and fear You plus someone or something else, including myself and my agenda. Only You deserve my full attention, loyalty, passion and energy and then everything falls into place. I need Your forgiveness. I want to obey Your commands, but without You, it is impossible. Fill me with Your spirit—strengthen and transform me so I can meet Your Holy expectations....

“I’ve Come, Lord” Prayers

Written by Rhonda Frye on February 6, 2021. Posted in Prayer.

She Said: God, I can’t seem to find my voice or move into my skin? Will you make a place where I…. “just as I am” will fit in? Feeling like a fish out of water, flopping on the sand, I need someone to “get me” I really need a friend. . Will you be my refuge… I need a place inside. I want a shelter I can trust until my frustrations subside. Will you console me, bless me and wipe my tears away? And will you hold my hand and walk with me with me when I return to face the day? He Said: Beloved, just look into your heart and...

Minor Injuries

Written by Rhonda Frye on February 4, 2021. Posted in Inspiration.

Not too long ago I read a social media post by a friend who had recently experienced a car accident. “I am thankful we escaped with just minor injuries,” she said. Hmm… Minor injuries may be minor compared to major ones, but they are still injuries none-the-less. I will never forget the 2012 car accident that left me with minor injuries. A lady hit me on I-75 knocking me into the guard rail, and then caused me to spin across three lanes of traffic to crash into the other guard rail that sent me sliding backwards down the fast lane only to get hit head-on by a pick...

Trust Is Everything

Written by Rhonda Frye on January 22, 2021. Posted in Inspiration.

I am thoroughly enjoying my Bible reading plan so far this year. The only thing is…I struggle moving on to the next chapter every time my imagination piques or heart stirs. Believe me, that is often. I’m a deep thinking, rabbit chasing, rose sniffing, read-between-the-lines kind of girl. It takes an enormous amount of discipline to turn the page when I want to linger. There is a difference in reading vs. studying the Bible—both methods are good. Study is my favorite, but this year I am reading too. Hopefully, like many of you, I will read through the Bible this year. ...
