“Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.” Hebrews 3:1 NIV I take a medication that has a side effect of causing blindness. Each year I get my annual eye exam. This year I was required to do a specialized test called…

Be Jesus
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:9 I sat down to write this post with Orlando weighing heavy on my mind. I asked the Lord to give me a word to share today with you. As I prayed I opened my Bible randomly to Hebrews. My eyes fell on the little…
Nothing Is Impossible with God
“Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible with men is possible with God.’” Luke 18:27 (NIV) Do you have something in your life that seems impossible to do? Have you tried and tried and tried and you just can’t quite do it? You might come close, but really, when it’s all said and done, nope, you didn’t…
One Simple Step to Victory
“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17 NIV While reading the book If I decided to fast sugar while praying specifically for something. I loved it. I had no idea what God…
Summer Book Study
I’m so excited to invite you to join me this June for a book study of my new favorite book, If: Trading Your If Only Regrets for God’s What If Possibilities, by Mark Batterson. I got If for Christmas and promptly read it. I then reread it with a pen, underlining my favorite parts. I don’t…
When God Calls You to Do Something Crazy

She…
Grace Upon Grace
“From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.” John 1:16 NIV I was reading John 1 the other morning and this short verse jumped off the page. That’s typically a good sign that I should blog about it. The process I go through to write a Worship Wednesday post is quite…
Overwhelmed? Try this!
More mornings than not, I wake up before my alarm clock and the list begins. You may be familiar with it, the list of everything I have to do that day. I haven’t even opened my eyes and it’s running through my mind. I look at the clock and decide if I should get up…
Foxy and Freedom
Our dog, Foxy, came to us a few months before her fifth birthday, still healing from being spayed, and scared to death. She had been living with a family who had not treated her kindly, to say the least. They had used a shock collar because as most beagles do, she was a barker and…
Plans & Blessings
“We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Proverbs 16:9 (NLT) I am a planner. Type A personalities like to plan. If you have been following along on the blog you know that I have started planning out my meals and outfits for one month. At first this seemed like a big…
