    Do you Dare to Really Know Jesus?

    July 9, 2019 /

    If you would consider to dare to know Jesus, I invite you to give Him some serious thought today. Whether you’re a Christian or not, you probably claim to know Jesus, at least in broad strokes. In fact, worldwide, no one person has influenced history more than Jesus. The way we even measure history has been using His birth since A.D. 532. While using Before Christ has become less politically correct, the era still changes approximately at His birth. But which Jesus do you know? There is only one historical Jesus in reality, but how He is painted, described, even taught can vary wildly. And sadly, not even every person…

    Do I have to go to church to be a Christian?

    June 8, 2019 /

    Do I HAVE to go to church to be a Christian? The weekend is finally here, but instead of resting, I hop on my to-do list and finish Saturday feeling accomplished and exhausted. But, as I set my alarm for the morning, sometimes, I’m tempted not to rise and shine. Can’t I give God the glory, glory from home? Is worshipping from home a legitimate choice? Am I still a Christian if I don’t go to church? Going to church is not a part of salvation. When we add requirements to salvation or Christianity that Jesus did not, we add burdens and weights to the light yoke of Jesus. “Going…

    God is Faithful in the little Storms

    September 5, 2016 /

    God is faithful in all things, even the little storms. Nothing happens in our lives that he cannot restore, redeem, and use. I love how I can clearly see His hand even in my hard places. God used an emotional moment last fall to get my attention. The storms of life have been extremely present in 2016. Our family has dealt with many struggles: illnesses and medical issues, difficult relationships, family needs, friends’ illnesses, broken appliances, financial challenges that never seem to stop. (this site uses Affiliate links-purchases support our ministry through a small referral fee that never affects your cost.) But I have seen beautiful reminders God is faithful…

    When is it time to shut up?

    July 30, 2016 /

    Shut up isn’t very nice. We try not to use it in our house, but sometimes it is the only way to get someone’s attention. God used it to get mine. This month has brought me some personal challenges that have broken my heart, left me wracked with sobs wondering if things will ever be okay again. And in my little external processing way, I start trying to use my words to grapple with my tornado emotions and thoughts that keep me awake and make my blood pressure skyrocket. But in this hurt, I can’t even hold onto the words. Nothing is making sense. I feel completely discombobulated. My prayers…

    Contemplating my 20s – What I would do differently?

    July 2, 2016 /

    My 20s? What would I do differently? Everything! and nothing. . . A younger friend is reading a book (20-Something, 20-Everything) and asked me about my 20s. So first – the EVERYTHING I would do differently in my 20s Being single in my 20s felt like a disaster, I was “supposed” to be married and having babies so I could be the energetic, young mother of my dreams. I chased that ideal at the expense of everything else. Nothing has ruined my life more than trying to match it to the idealized version in my head. I wish I spent more time just living than worrying about plans. Focusing on…
