What Do We Find Under God’s Protection?

What Do We Find Under God’s Protection?

A memory came up in Facebook the other day. It was the day that I went back to work after Olivia was born. I was holding her, and torn about leaving her. She was holding my finger in the photo, something she had often done since. Things haven’t changed much. I still get a little [...]

Why God’s Holiness Brings Me Comfort

Why God’s Holiness Brings Me Comfort

I was reading about the Lord’s prayer in Luke 11 today. Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. And I was caught by how Jesus opens His prayer. Father, hallowed be your name. This week I had thought a lot about holiness, and what that means. God being holy seems like an [...]

Be Still And Know He Is God

Be Still And Know He Is God

Be still. That was my word for 2022. Technically 2 words but you get the point. Be still and know He is God. As I have reflected on the past year this week, those 2 words (and Psalm 46:10) couldn't have been more appropriately. My heart and mind has had to be quieted, still, and [...]

What Makes Christmas So Wondrous: Our King Has Come

Over the Fall we finished a study on Joshua, and Judges. As we finished Judges, and we began to approach Christmas, I became increasingly excited to look at the birth of Jesus, and behold what makes Christmas so wondrous. One of the reasons is one thing that has stuck out to me from the Old [...]

Psalm 23:3, He Restores My Soul

Psalm 23. One of the most familiar psalms I have known my whole life. I still recall the melody of this psalm that we sang in Sunday School. It is a nice psalm, but in looking at it more, I am realizing more of its meaning. Specifically, in regards to a phase in Psalm 23:3, [...]

The House That Was Built On The Rock

I have a lot of dreams. Like a lot. And honestly, sometimes I get tired of them. Because a lot of times my dreams are of fires, and terrorist attacks, and storms, and floods… you know all the bad things. I have good dreams too, but bad dreams are alarming and leave me shaky. One [...]

How To Only Be Strong And Courageous

Have you ever set out to do something but felt discouraged by not getting the results you wanted, or feared what was ahead? Maybe what lies ahead of you seems hopeless, and being strong and courageous . The other day we were on the boat with my parents, and my husband and I went fishing. [...]

Do We Have 1000 Reasons To Praise God?

Have you heard the song A Thousand Hallelujah's yet? It is a beautiful song, and I wept at the words the first time I heard them. It left me thinking "Do I have a 1000 reasons to praise God?" The answer is... I better! But could I actually list 1000 things? A couple of weeks [...]

How To Rise Above Our Circumstances Like Ruth

Sometimes life can just bring you down with what goes on around you. It can leave you wondering how to rise above your circumstances. My daughter's friends, and my favorite person in the Bible (Ruth) taught me about that this week. I realized something was wrong with Olivia when I tried to send Charlie, her, [...]

How To Rise Above Your Circumstances… Like Habakkuk

How To Rise Above Your Circumstances… Like Habakkuk

Do you ever look at the world around you and think “What is going on right now?” Maybe justice doesn’t seem to prevail. Your circumstances dictate your behavior, and as much as you call out to God, you don’t feel like God is listening to your prayers, because you don’t see them being answered. Let's [...]

Merry Christmas! The best family photos we could do with only 4 people today. #merrychristmas
41 years ago is when we entered into a Christmas tradition. Now we (along with our brothers and other family members) are the ones who carry on the tradition of our dads families getting together on Christmas Eve. Let’s make it to 50.

Always like she never left…. #exhaustedbuthappy
