Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Matthew 7:24 Most of us can call this passage to mind about the wise and foolish builders. My husband and I are currently in the process of watching a house being built. There is so …
A Woman of Prayer
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. James 5:16b-18 Prayer doesn’t require …
I Will Rejoice!
I realize it may be dramatic to admit, but there have been times in my life that this verse has been my anthem. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle …
Decisions that Become Defining Moments
Time is passing by at the same pace every hour of every day, but some moments seem to linger more than others. If you’ve lived long enough, you can look back and see decisions that become defining moments. Maybe your look back is in regret of a bad decision, in pain because of a difficult decision, or in gratefulness of …
What’s Tripping You Up?
Have you ever had one of those moments when you’re walking along and suddenly find yourself sprawled out on the ground? As we walk through life, there is an enemy of our souls who would love nothing more than to trip us up. Scripture warns us over and over again to be watchful, to be on our guard against the …
Fruitfulness in Every Season
If you’re like me, you have a particular season of the year that you like best. I am a summer girl at heart but the older I get, I am learning how to look for and enjoy the fruit each season has. Our part is to scatter seed and trust the Lord to make things grow in their time. Ask …
Keeping Love Alive in Marriage
Each year I am more and more grateful for the gift of Jesus in my life as well as the gift of my husband. No, it’s not always easy. It’s not always full of goosebumps. It’s messy and wonderful all wrapped up together. One of the sweetest things to see is an older couple walking hand in hand together – …
Fostering Healthy Friendships
I was in high school in the early 1980’s and attended my fair share of Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith concerts. They were infamous for ending their concerts with the song, Friends are Friends Forever, if the Lord’s the Lord of Them. Those of you who know me, know I spent my growing up years moving across the country …
Honoring Marriage
What a joy it is to introduce you to my husband as he joins me in this vlog on marriage. No, we don’t have a perfect marriage but we do love each other more today than ever. Why? I believe it is because we continue to follow Jesus – which takes denying self – and we choose to honor marriage. …
Parenting Alongside Friends
Parenting is not for the faint of heart! I am so grateful the Lord created us for community. The counsel and encouragement I’ve received from friends and mentors along the way has made all of the difference in my parenting. I’ve gathered a few brave friends, who shared maternity clothes with me back in the day, to chat about raising …
