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
Bind Yourself to the Lord
I had a great week. My family came to visit us from Colorado and Canada, and then when they left, my mom came to visit with us. I had a great time, and my kids were bursting with joy to spend time with their cousins, aunts, grandfather and grandmother. We have not always had perfect relationships.… Continue reading Bind Yourself to the Lord
Praise
Have you ever been through a hard time and wondered where God was? I have. God never left me. I turned from God and thought that I could control the outcome of situations in my life. God is so good. God waits for you to call to him. If you seek God, you will find… Continue reading Praise
Open Our Minds to Understanding
Easter Sunday is exactly one month from today on April 21, 2019. Its the perfect time to read about the series of events that changed the world and opened up the gates of heaven to all who believe. After Jesus died on the cross, he laid in the tomb for three days. God raised him… Continue reading Open Our Minds to Understanding
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
Strive for a Crown
I flip through the Spring catalogs, and I love the clothes. The pastel hues are so cute. I want to buy it all. I wish that I was one of those people who say that they have everything they need. Honestly, I have everything that I need too. I still want stuff. Why can't I… Continue reading Strive for a Crown
The Side of Victory
When I look in the mirror, I see a reflection of a flawed person. I don't think that I can always see what God sees in me. I see all the things that I want to change. In the bible, God uses the imperfect people, so his glory can shine through. A king is not… Continue reading The Side of Victory
The Ultimate Betrayal of Jesus
This morning I opened up the bible to the gospel of Luke. As Christians, we are in the season of Lent, preparing our hearts and minds for Easter. Jesus was crucified on the cross, died and was buried, three days later, he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. Jesus was crucified, because one… Continue reading The Ultimate Betrayal of Jesus
Revere God’s Name
The first commandment in the bible is "You shall have no other Gods before me." God created this whole amazing universe, and he doesn't want us to worship false gods. There is only one God. Everything in this universe is by his design, including every person. When we cherish and respect God's name, the sun… Continue reading Revere God’s Name
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
