How To Leave A Church
Although the thought of a family deciding to change their church membership from one body to another isn't a pleasant one, it happens! Leaving a church doesn't have to be a bad thing. When you follow God's direction and leave a church for the right reason, in the right way, it can bring tremendous blessing to… Continue reading How To Leave A Church
The Daily Practice That Has Changed My Life
Have you noticed that the book of Proverbs has 31 chapters? Although the way our Bibles are broken up into chapters and verses isn't divinely inspired, I believe there's a reason for the number of chapters in Proverbs - there's one for every day of the month! For the past five years or so I've… Continue reading The Daily Practice That Has Changed My Life
The Verse I’m Praying For Myself
I set a goal this year to pray a certain passage of Scripture for my husband. Each day when I pray for him, I start with that verse and allow it to direct me in the way I pray for specific needs in his life. It's amazing how that passage gives me a new perspective… Continue reading The Verse I’m Praying For Myself

My Word For 2018
I've never chosen a word for the upcoming year - as a matter of fact, I'm pretty new to goal-setting in general! As I began to think back over 2017, I realized that even though I didn't assign a word for the year, last year's word was grace. I learned so much about grace as I… Continue reading My Word For 2018
Gingerbread and Grace
Several of you have asked for me to share my devotional from the Ladies' Christmas Tea earlier this month. I couldn't type every word that I said, so I chose a few sections from my outline and summarized it for you here. As I told the ladies that evening, these words are directly from my… Continue reading Gingerbread and Grace
Thankful {2017}
Lamentations 3:19-24 Remember my affliction and my wanderings, My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my… Continue reading Thankful {2017}
