Have you ever looked around at your circumstances and wondered how you are ever going to recover from what has happened in your life?

New Mercies Each Day
Yesterday, April 7, 2019, Pastor Hamrick gave a very thought provoking bible study of Lamentations at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, VA. He encouraged us to read the entire book after the service, and I did. His words are still echoing in my head this morning, so today's post is about the verses that stood out… Continue reading New Mercies Each Day
The Gift That We Did Not Know We Needed
This morning was stressful. There was yelling, complaining, crying. By the time I was downstairs getting breakfast ready and lunches made, still waiting for my kids to get ready, I was on edge. We were running late. After I finished getting their lunches ready, we had 3 minutes. I figured God would make the 3… Continue reading The Gift That We Did Not Know We Needed
The Weak Call On God’s Strength
The official first day of Spring is in one week. I love Spring. I love the flowers blooming and leaves growing on the trees. The one thing that I always forget comes with Spring, seasonal allergies. I have been knocked out the past few days. I think I had a cold and forgot to take… Continue reading The Weak Call On God’s Strength
God Will Be Our Shield
Lets face it, we all mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Its what you do with your mistake that matters. Do you push the blame on others? Do you deny that you made a mistake? Do you ignore your mistake? Or, do you own up to your mistakes. Do you ask God for forgiveness and try not… Continue reading God Will Be Our Shield

My mind can really go into a frenzy worrying and being anxious. I have to frequently take a step back and look at the situation. I often think of… Continue reading If God is for us, who can be against us?
God Loves Each and Every One of Us
I went to the womens' bible study this morning. It starts off with singing. Two women lead the singing worship, and they sing so beautifully, I cannot help but cry a little each time. I can feel the Holy Spirit in there, filling each of us with grace. Its a time to let go of… Continue reading God Loves Each and Every One of Us
Not Qualified, Yet Still Chosen
I have been reading about Saul and his conversion over the past few days. I have been wondering why God calls such unqualified people to serve him. "God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong". You may feel unqualified… Continue reading Not Qualified, Yet Still Chosen
Shock Value
People love to hear a shocking new scandal. A scandal will catch the attention of friends and neighbors and gossip will be shared pondering what could have possibly happened. It is hard to surprise anyone, with the incessant social media posts, tweets and photos. It seems like we always hear about the bad, shocking news… Continue reading Shock Value
God Selects His “Instruments”
Lately, I have been wondering what the Lord has planned for me. My kids are both in school full time this year. After being a stay-at-home mom for 3 years, I am wondering if I should go back to work. Or, perhaps I should take a path that I have not even considered yet. I… Continue reading God Selects His “Instruments”
