Following His Path To Something Beautiful
I found this file on my computer this week, and realized I never posted this anywhere. I wrote it 3 years ago, but the truths stayed the same. It is the story of being a prodigal daughter, and the God who says to us "Daughter, you are now home." When I followed Jesus in high [...]
Does anyone like FaceBook memories? Today I was reminded of a few significant events over the past 9 years, and 11 months. And today, I'm remembering God is God. He is good, and He is faithful. But 9 years and 11 months, that is how long I have been in my 30's. The day I [...]
Don't give up! Keep trying. Said Charlie. It started out as a normal day on the boat. We were on the island and trying to catch some fish. We actually caught a lot of fish. And big ones too for so early in the season. Charlie was really excited, however, one of us wasn't catching [...]
She is usually the go-with-the-flow child. The comfortable in most situations child. But when Olivia gets uncomfortable she comes and sits next to me. She will then tell anyone who tries to play with her that she just wants to sit by her mom. This year we put her in camp, and usually, she likes [...]
Why should I follow Jesus? I can tell you a ton of reasons that you shouldn't. But I share with you today on Candidly Christian 4 reasons not to follow Jesus. And they probably aren't what you would think! It is always ironic when I write these posts 2 months before they are actually posted. [...]
So this is not a pony tale, or a story about a horse. But the story is kind of hilarious, as I couldn't stop laughing when I told my husband about it for the first time last night. I actually don't think I think I finished the story, so he will hear the end of [...]
What Is The Point Of It All? Have you ever thought that to yourself? What is the point of it all? And let me tell you, today was one of those days that I needed THIS reminder of what God taught me a couple of months ago. I needed to remember that God was in [...]
“When we go to Florida, angels will protect our plane”. Olivia said that a few weeks ago. I didn’t even know she really knew what an angel was. I mean they are in some of the Bible stories we read to her but, I am pretty sure we have never told her what their roles [...]
What should you fear? I could easily make a list of 100 things I "should" fear off the top of my head. And if you haven't been living under a rock, and have been on social media a lot (or at all), you can too. Fear. It is a prominent emotion right now. Scripture talks [...]
My son teaches me a lot about my walk with Christ. And this year he has taught me about 20/20 vision. Is it just my him, or when you ask your child to get something (like the shoes that are right in front of them) they say "I couldn't see them!" Sometimes I think his [...]
