Why are there so many Christians who seem to never really EXPERIENCE God? As a believer in Jesus, I have struggled with this question lately. Perhaps it’s because I’ve witnessed several adults walk away from God and their faith in the last couple of months. It’s been heartbreaking! Or being a teacher, who has taughtContinue reading “What’s in your hands?”

God’s Provision
Has there ever been a time when you doubted God’s provision for you? Perhaps you thought that your need – whether it be financial, emotional or physical – was too big or too complicated for God to meet and solve? Even thinking of this question and topic reminds me of numerous people in the Bible:Continue reading “God’s Provision”
Intentional and Disciplined
Happy New Year, friends! Did you go to your primary care doctor last year for a check-up or physical? Do you plan to this year? Most of us want to be healthy – and may even go the doctor and/or set goals to do so. I commend you if that’s on your radar for theContinue reading “Intentional and Disciplined”
Forgiveness
Are you a list maker? I am! I love to make a “to do” list – and even more, I love the feeling of crossing off responsibilities and/or goals. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment, whether it’s a small task or a monumental one! Do you make “mental checklists” in your Christian life?Continue reading “Forgiveness”
Because I said so
Growing up, I was a pretty compliant child. Now that doesn’t mean I didn’t “test the waters” or ever disobey. For the most part, my desire was to please my parents and make them proud of me. But there were times I had to exercise my authority. I distinctly remember when I didn’t mind orContinue reading “Because I said so”
Doubting Thomas and the God who is Able
Did you hear me shouting? Praising God and Jesus for listening? For answering? Do you remember a post I made from over a year ago? It was entitled “Insurmountable”. I chose that title because the issue that was going on in my family seemed just that to me. It was SO huge. In some ways,Continue reading “Doubting Thomas and the God who is Able”
I’m Back!
Well, friends, I’m sure you thought I quit writing. I know it’s been quite some time. I just took an extended sabbatical for many personal reasons. Forgive me for taking so long. If I’m honest, I’ve struggled to get back to it. I’ve struggled with obedience and follow-through. There are many reasons for the L-O-N-GContinue reading “I’m Back!”
Easter Afterthoughts
Easter is over. I know that’s not earth-shattering news. You knew that. But… Did it mean anything to you? A new dress, suit or clothes? Time with the family? Attending church? Hiding eggs for your kids or grands? Did Easter make any difference in your life? Easter should be the pinnacle of our faith. ItContinue reading “Easter Afterthoughts”
Surrender – take II
This topic is still on my heart. God put a burden there, I believe. He’s taught me much in this area. Forgive me if you’re ready to move on. I just think surrender is so key to following Christ that it’s worth spending more time delving into it. Two more stories come to mind andContinue reading “Surrender – take II”
SURRENDER
If you’re a regular follower of my blog, I’m assuming you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and have asked Him to forgive you of your sins. You’ve received His free gift of salvation and thanked Him for dying in your place on the cross of Calvary. Just as God raised Him from theContinue reading “SURRENDER”
