Walking the faith journey
I remember my first post, which was close to two years ago. I felt like I had been on an incredible faith journey and had been led to start sharing my experiences with you. It’s now two years later. Actually, it’s 21 months later – but it has still been an incredible journey. I know […]
Do you have the right tools?
Now that our tenants are gone, it’s time to clean up and rebuild. It’s been a long journey, but we are thankful it’s over. As a part of the major clean up process, we ripped up the carpets. Our friend came and helped our family. There were boards with nails that remained after that major […]
Answered prayers
Answered prayers When I was asked to speak last year, I just knew what my topic would be – Answered Prayers. The topic was on my heart since shortly after being asked to speak in February, but I wouldn’t actually speak until December. I had plenty of time to prepare, and just knew that when […]
Will you say ‘yes’?
I recently had two interactions that have left me wanting to say ‘yes’ to God’s requests more. There are situations that we are put in, and ‘assignments’ we are given. Sometimes we can see right away the impact we make, and other times it will not be until we make it to God’s kingdom that […]
Wisdom
Do you have a favorite ‘wisdom’ story in the Bible? My all time favorite has to be when King Solomon thought he was in a dream when God asked him what he wanted from Him. Instead of Solomon asking for riches or long life or any of those things, he asked for wisdom from God […]
Idols
I’ve been coming across readings and devotions that have centered around idols quite frequently lately. Usually when that happens, it causes me to stop and take notice. I started doing a mental note: do I have any idols? In the past I’ve been quick to deny that I have any idols. After all, I’m a […]
Worship while you wait
Have you ever gone through a situation that you just knew that was going to come out a certain way, but then it didn’t? Yesterday was that day for my mom and me. We have been in the court system for a non paying tenant for a year now. The last time we went in […]
Standing your ground
Have you ever gotten in trouble for standing up for something you believe in? I came across the well known story of the three Hebrew boys in Daniel 3. They refused to bow down to the idol that King Nebuchadnezzar had built. I read through the whole chapter and got chills in the way they […]
Spiritual gifts
Do you know what your spiritual gifts are? If you had asked me a year ago, I don’t even know that I would have known what are considered spiritual gifts. Actually, I didn’t look up the definition of spiritual gifts until last week. I just did a quick search to share some with you: they […]
Negative Self Talk
In the last day or so, I’ve heard my 5 year old starting to speak negatively over herself. As we were in the car she might have started fussing over something and I told her no. Not in an angry way – but the final answer was no. She started crying and saying ‘I’m a […]
