We all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up. I know some obnoxious people who think that they know everything. It can be painful to be around these people. It feels like a constant lecture, and it can be, well, boring. Instead, of impressing us with their knowledge, its irritating and condescending. After spending time with these… Continue reading Knowledge Puffs Up, But Love Edifies

Thanking God That My Plans Did Not Work
When I look at my life, I still try to find my own solutions. I am getting better about letting God handle situations in my life. I sometimes still find myself thinking that something looks good enough. God has something better, that I have not even imagined. Five years ago, we were going to sell… Continue reading Thanking God That My Plans Did Not Work
Exchange Weariness For Joy
Good morning! Yesterday was a gloomy morning, and my mood matched it. I was reading through Hebrews today, and this scripture verse resonated to my heart. When we feel weary and discouraged, think about Jesus. He came as a light to this world, to forgive our sins. Jesus endured hostility from the sinners, he was… Continue reading Exchange Weariness For Joy
God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships
When you truly believe in Jesus, your heart changes. We still live in a world with everyone else, good people, bad people, believers, and unbelievers.

I… Continue reading God’s Love Compared To Toxic Relationships

This morning we read the book of Colossians. This is part of the series of epistles that Paul wrote… Continue reading Sing With Grace In Your Heart
Look For Praiseworthy Moments
The book of Philippians is full of wonderful advice on how to behave as a Christian. I really love to read all of Paul's books in the bible. Each one is eye opening for me. We read the passage, "Mediate on These Things", last week at the women's bible study. Instead, of 'brethren', we said… Continue reading Look For Praiseworthy Moments
Day 15: Thanking God For His Mercy
My mom had surgery yesterday. They removed 78% of the tumor from her brain. It went well. We were able to see her last night. She was smiling and talking. She said that she felt so much better and wondered how long she had the tumor. Out of all the possible outcomes, this was a… Continue reading Day 15: Thanking God For His Mercy
Fill Me With Joy
I have many testimonies about how God has come through for me. Why do I think that God will not do it again? Do I think that I have asked God for too many things? God loves us endlessly. I can only think with a human mind, so I cannot begin to understand the depth… Continue reading Fill Me With Joy
