Fourth Man In The Fire
Imagine a scene where three young men, vibrant and strong, are being tied up and thrown into a raging fire – all because they refused to bow down and worship a false idol. This isn’t a work of fiction; it’s a real event from the Bible, recorded in the book of Daniel. As we dive […]
Exile and Restoration
Judah, God’s beloved city and His temple, had fallen into ruin. All the treasures and riches that once adorned this holy place had been carried off to Babylon. The people, decimated and reduced to a mere remnant, found themselves back in exile – a familiar and devastating scenario. This tragic turn of events had been […]
What is Success
Psalm 90:17 And may the Lord our God show us His approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! When we start school, I guess it is safe to assume, our parents are praying that it will be the start of something successful. I know my parents did. They had dreams […]

Get Ready for the Sale
127 Yard Sale. Enough said. End of story. I could stop right there but, what kind of blog would that be? I decided to join in the fun this year. I thought, surely I have enough stuff to at least share a spot with a friend. Then I started going through my stuff. Oh my […]
Wobbly Road: Part 5
Then I met Darrell, my husband for the last 23 years. Poor man didn’t know I came with so much baggage, so many negative messages and past bad habits. I was a divorcee twice before. These words grip my heart with shame and terror. I am not proud of my past. I didn’t really like myself. How could […]

Something Teresa does weekly on our Grace Sisters facebook page is posts a “Word of the Week”. We are prompted to write what that word means to us in our walk with Jesus or in our lives in general. I absolutely love reading all of the amazing responses the ladies in our group have for […]
