What is of most importance? I have so many roles! Wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, teacher, worship leader, my own personal trainer, home chef, shopper, maid, and laundry queen to name a few. Okay, those last few were a bit silly, but don’t you feel that way also? So many roles and responsibilities – and […]
KEEP YOUR HANDS UP!
Have you ever felt weary from the battle? Like there are just so many things going on in your life that you just can’t keep up anymore? You’re just tired? Burnt out? I love the story found in Exodus 17:8-13 where the nation of Israel is fighting against the Amalekites. While Joshua led the troops, Moses […]
Eternally!
I think one of the biggest questions our world asks today is “If there is a God, does He love me?”. I also think that if this question were truly understood we would see far less depression and sadness in the world we live in. Everyone has a basic desire to be loved. I mean […]
What’s That Noise??
Have you ever felt like there is a whirlwind of junk going on in your life? Where your brain gets so consumed with the stress of this life, it begins to feel like white-noise that blocks out every good thought. Every smile, every laugh, every memory is immediately put away by your worry about tomorrow? […]
The Importance of Worship
Hello friends, The last blog I posted was about the importance of theology. Yes, a sound theology to back up your beliefs is important, but what is the purpose of knowing the theology if there is not a relationship with God? Worship, prayer, and openhearted study are the best ways to speak with Him. Just […]
Stand
There is a spiritual battle raging. You can feel it. While you pray, you can feel God’s protection. When faced with something evil, God gifts us with discernment to recognize the evil. I am often brought back to Ephesians chapter six. Verses 10 through 20 describe standing strongly in the Lord and His power against […]
Under the Influence
Normally, when we think of being “Under the influence” we think of drugs or alcohol. But I would contend that it applies to everything in life. My Daddy always told me, “If you lie with dogs you’ll get up with fleas”. And he was right. Unfortunately, I may have gotten a few “fleas” along the […]
Rest for Your Soul
Rest. What does resting really mean? The dictionary defines rest as: “the ceasing of work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength.” Wow, right? Doesn’t that sound great! To be able to stop movement and become refreshed! If I’m honest, the concept of rest is kind of foreign to me and […]
Has Jesus Changed You?
That disciple whom Jesus loved, therefore, said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. – John 21:7 It is important to note, Peter and the rest of the disciples […]
Fruit, Sweet Fruit
I always say, God knew what He was doing when He made fruit. I mean, it’s a wonderful, sweet, refreshing snack full of nutrients for my body. So when the Bible informs me that God wants to make my life and my spirit fruitful, I am all for it! In the 15th chapter of […]
