Pulse-racing Faith

Let's be honest. It's easy to talk about walking in faith when you see it working. Right? But am I the only one who feels my faith floundering a bit (or a lot) when I can't physically see it's fruition? Maybe you, like me, grew up listening to the Bible stories of the heroes of …

Only Jesus

"And I, I don't want to leave a legacy; I don't care if they remember me...only JesusAnd I, I've only got one life to live; I'll let every second point to Him...only Jesus" I love these words. The have become the prayer and desire for my life. I can't take credit for them; they are …

Tribute to My Mom

It's been 8 years since I lost my Mom suddenly. I still miss her so much…her smile, her way with kids, her joy, her quiet ways, her faith… Oh her faith was inspiring. It's still the one thing that really defines her in my heart…her faith in and love for Jesus. Well she's with Him …

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

"Do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world." Philippians 2:14‭-‬15 HCSB I was getting ready for the day yesterday. In the process, I was getting annoyed by a …

When Loving is Hard

I've been reading Beth Moore's, The Beloved Disciple, for several months now. Typically I plow through a book in a couple of weeks or so but this one has taken a bit longer to digest. The book is about the Disciple John and his writings. I really don't have much to share today except that …

Jesus Grew Weary Too

"Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime." John 4:6 NLT I've spent a lot of time in the Gospel of John recently. I was reading the familiar story about the Samaritan woman's encounter with Jesus at the well. But before I got that far …

Finding Your Self in Sorrow

I'm using Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost for His Highest" as my daily devotional right now. If you haven't been through this yourself, I highly recommend! It is full to the brim of godly wisdom and insight and challenging thoughts. Being challenged isn't always easy, is it? But if our goal is to be more like …

To Be Chosen

Doesn't it make your parental heart swell when your kiddos listen to you and obey what you ask of them... the first time you ask? Why does it elicit such a response? It's an outward demonstration of love, isn't it? Your child (whether cognitive or not) is saying, "I want to make you happy more …

Amazing Grace

Last year I went through what I like to refer to as my own personal exile.It was a dark place. And within that darkness, I found tremendous light. THE Light to be exact...Jesus. I knew him before...25 years if we're measuring time. But isn't it ironic that when we're walking in the light, we don't pay Him …

Dandelions

I love being outside. So often God inspires me by teaching me with His creation. Today I was reminded of summers as a little girl visiting my Great Aunt Jane in Jonesboro, Tennessee. As kids, my brother and I thought her big house and yard were so much fun...especially because she had a basement! (Growing …
