    How to Pray on this National Day of Prayer

    May 5, 2016 /

    Today is the National Day of Prayer. My daughter was born on the National Day of Prayer a few years ago, which has made it special for me even when it doesn’t fall on her birthday. I always take time to pray today. With everything in the news, I feel overwhelmed. Every time I read the news, the world seems more on the brink of disaster. So many people don’t have a relationship with or even knowledge of God. Sometimes, this world feels hopeless. But thankfully we know that the hope we have is not in this world, but overcame it! John 16:33 ESV  I have said these things to you,…

    War Room – 3 Reasons Christians Should Watch

    November 14, 2015 /

    If you didn’t race to see War Room the week it was released and now aren’t sure you want to – Are you wondering why waste your precious quiet hours after bedtime on anything other than Hallmark’s countdown to Christmas? Let me share my thoughts on War Room as a movie enthusiast, Christian, and mom who rarely gets to watch a movie in its entirety. 3 Reasons Christians Should Watch – WAR ROOM 1. It is Christ centered. If you’re choosing between this and reading the Bible, pick the Bible! But if you’re choosing between this and Scandal or Walking Dead, then put your focus on things worthy of attention…

    A Kiss and a Prayer

    September 5, 2015 /

    As a wife and mom, my going out after dark days are mostly behind me, but last night, a friend and I decided to live dangerously. We went to see War Room at 7:15 and have dessert afterward. For two mommies of littles, it was going to be a late night. We were out past 10, yo! As I was getting ready to walk out the door, it occurred to me I had no guarantee I would come home. Our highway into town is notoriously dangerous, especially in the dark. I could be walking out this door for the last time. I wasn’t maudlin, just mindful. Even though I had…

    Ice Cream Messages

    June 29, 2015 /

    Tonight I was searching for God’s answers to some big prayers. As I wrote about our day, I realized this evening’s events are a perfect example of the way I experience God’s answers in my everyday mom moments. Earlier, my daughter ran inside shrieking. The ice cream truck was driving past our house! Mommy, mommy, mommy. She jumped up and down. “The ice cream truck!” Last time we saw him was a night we weren’t planning a big meal, so we chased the converted school bus down the road, but couldn’t catch him to get any ice cream. I had promised we would try again another day. But here was…

    Just Another Day – Waiting with Hope

    March 23, 2015 /

    Waiting with hope for answers to prayer can be the toughest challenge of our lives. We wait not knowing what the answer will be or when it will come. We try to have faith in the waiting. But what does the day before your miracle look like? Just another day. After a long cold winter, maybe I’m just ready for some sunshine, but I have found that I’m usually seeking HOPE when I come to this special day on the calendar. My verse of the day was this sweet promise in my devotional this morning. This verse was so encouraging in my present circumstances, praying for my own healing and…
