This morning, I am thinking about how Christians have to be good people. We have to be nice, even when others are not nice to us... I have never understood why some people are so mean. Do you have anyone in your life who is mean? Instead of getting mad, I have started praying for… Continue reading A Pure Heart in a Corrupt World

Everyone Can Change
Right now, I am struggling. My mom has stage 4 cancer. She started radiation and a chemo pill last Friday. The prognosis for Glioblastoma is two years at the most with surgery, chemo pills and radiation. One day, I think that I accept it, and I am at peace. The next day, I feel overwhelming… Continue reading Everyone Can Change
Pray Away Nightmares
Halloween is coming up in ten days. My neighbors love Halloween. They have bones and lights and graveyards in their front yards. We do have a few cute decorations up for my kids. I have to admit that Halloween is not my favorite day. It creeps me out. I don’t want to watch scary movies… Continue reading Pray Away Nightmares
An Outcome Beyond Our Imagination
I don't know why I get surprised by the goodness of God. God does amazing things for us. When I let go of my worries and give them to God, amazing things happen. I worry. I get stressed out.

God Will Bring Glory Through Suffering
On the drive home from seeing my mom, I was thinking about where I was five years ago. Five years ago, my husband was laid off from his job. I was working from home part-time. My kids were 2 and 4 years old. We had just taken our house off the market, because it didn't… Continue reading God Will Bring Glory Through Suffering
There Is No Need For An Explanation
Yesterday at church, we read Chapter 3 in the book of Daniel. Our pastor did a great job explaining it. Its an amazing story. Daniel's friends get thrown in a fiery furnace and come out unharmed. Not one hair of their heads was singed. It was a miracle. I was fascinated with their attitudes before… Continue reading There Is No Need For An Explanation
Do not be deceived. Trust in God.
Have you ever met somebody who does not tell the truth? Or, perhaps stretches the truth at times to make a better story? If you are like most people, you have met someone who deceives with empty words. It may seem harmless to talk to these people, spend time with them and be friends. God… Continue reading Do not be deceived. Trust in God.
