"I believe this job is an answer to my prayer. God has given me the opportunity to work here, and I will not allow their actions to steal my joy!" Last week I heard those words from a friend who experienced some pretty ugly treatment from her boss. She could have easily quit - no… Continue reading Don’t Take Away My Joy!

Do What Is Right, Not What Is Easy
I read this quote a few weeks ago, and it really resonated with me. It might cause questions to arise in your mind (it did in mine) - how do I define what is "right?" Is it wrong to do something because it's easy? As a person who tries to live their life according to the… Continue reading Do What Is Right, Not What Is Easy
My New Year’s Resolution
Last year I shared our New Year's resolution - you can read about that here - and I'm happy to report we did very well with it! We had lots of sweet times together on date night. This year we agreed to make another resolution as a couple. Our resolution this year is to spend… Continue reading My New Year’s Resolution
Blessed Is She Who Believed
Every year in December I read the Christmas story from Luke's gospel. It's a very familiar story - most of the words have been committed to memory since I was a little girl. Still, every year I expect to find something new in the story that touches my heart. God's Word is always fresh -… Continue reading Blessed Is She Who Believed
What Christmas Means To Me {Blogmas 2014}
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,… Continue reading What Christmas Means To Me {Blogmas 2014}
Extending The Weekend
How do you extend the blessing and refreshment from Sunday's worship into the rest of your week? If yesterday you had the privilege, like I did, of attending a church where the music, preaching and fellowship encouraged your heart and brought you closer to Jesus, you don't want to leave all that goodness with the… Continue reading Extending The Weekend
I’m In Over My Head
I don't care for the phrase, "God never gives us more than we can handle." I believe that our loving God does indeed give us more than we can handle, because it's in our weakness that His strength is made perfect. More than once in the last few weeks I've felt very overwhelmed - definitely in… Continue reading I’m In Over My Head
Praying God’s Word For The Hurting
It seems the older I get, the more aware I am of the intense suffering in the world. I'm not talking about poverty or war. I'm talking about people in my life - my family, my church family and my friends. It can be overwhelming when you realize all the hard things that happen to… Continue reading Praying God’s Word For The Hurting
God Doesn’t Forget
Is there something you asked God for a long, long time ago that He hasn't given you? Is there a desire in your heart that you voiced to Him as a young person that hasn't come to be yet? God doesn't forget. Being 4'10", my 6'1" husband has to bend down to hear me in… Continue reading God Doesn’t Forget
Fear Not Tomorrow
"Tomorrow" has been filled with a lot of uncertainty for us. At the beginning of May - just weeks after my husband's 6 month period of severe underemployment came to an end - I lost my brand new dream job. Just as we thought we could loosen our belts a little bit, we are tightening them… Continue reading Fear Not Tomorrow
