Have you ever been in a situation that was unfair? I have been stewing about an incident that was not fair. Two days later, I started praying that God bless those involved. I remembered the scripture verses "do not avenge yourselves". Let the Lord repay those who did wrong. I prayed that God would bring… Continue reading Pray When Life Feels Unfair

Rest and a Quiet Life
In my Tuesday bible study, we are reading through Paul's epistles. It struck me that he said in each of the last three letters we read, to lead a quiet life. I don't think it means to live a silent life. I think it means to live a life in moderation. I think Paul was… Continue reading Rest and a Quiet Life
Nourished in the Words of Faith
This morning, I read the first book of Timothy in my womens bible study. I am mediating on one verse, "nourished in the words of faith". It sounds like we need the words of faith to live a happy, healthy life. A Good Servant of Jesus Christ If you instruct the brethren in these things,… Continue reading Nourished in the Words of Faith
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

I try and control the situation, which just gets worse. Then, finally, I truly let go… Continue reading An Outcome Beyond Our Imagination
God is Sovereign
What does the word sovereign mean? It means to have supreme power. God has supreme power over the universe. God decides. Not you. Not me. Only one person determines the outcome. God. Our God in heaven can do whatever he pleases. But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. --Psalm 115:3 (NKJV).… Continue reading God is Sovereign
Everlasting Consolation
In the Fall, I cannot help but feel a little giddy over the changing leaves, a cappuccino (sorry Pumpkin Spiced Latte fans), sweater weather and wearing boots again. It is a joy to find pleasure in the little things and celebrate the changing of the seasons. Change can be scary, and it can be beautiful.… Continue reading Everlasting Consolation
Live a Life Worthy of God
This morning, it is chilly. The sky is dark and gloomy, as rain clouds form. It has been a dry month. We need the rain. Sometimes, you need rain to appreciate the rainbows and sunshine. Difficult times in our lives can be, well, difficult. These are the times that I really turn toward God. I… Continue reading Live a Life Worthy of God
Seasons of Life
I often hear people talking about their season of life. My season of life cuddling my babies, bottles and sleepless nights has passed. In this season of my life, my kids are not toddlers anymore, yet they are not in double digits yet. In the season of my life, I am starting to deal with… Continue reading Seasons of Life
