Do you know any people that call themselves Christians and go to church occasionally on Christmas and Easter? Know any of them? I do. I was one of them.

I grew up attending Catholic schools and… Continue reading I was complacent to the Lord, but the Lord did let me stay that way

The Lord God Is My Strength
I love my kids so much. I think they are amazing. There are so valuable to me. I get deeply hurt when others do things to make them feel less than what they are. I tell them they are loved. Worthy. Valuable. Worth more than anything that money can buy. Their value is infinite to… Continue reading The Lord God Is My Strength
Love Has Power
The definition of hatred is extreme dislike or disgust. The definition of love is strong affection, warm attachment and devotion. The definition of love has adjectives describing the emotion as 'strong' and 'warm'. The definition of hate is short, hard, and to the point. The bible says, "Hatred stirs up strife".

God’s Goodness Reaches Beyond The Heavens
This past week, my feelings were hurt a few times. Each instance can be classified as insulting. I grew up very sensitive, always crying and getting emotional. Somewhere along the way, I have hardened my heart, so things don't bother me as much. I have dulled my emotions to pain and hurt. Somehow, these hurts… Continue reading God’s Goodness Reaches Beyond The Heavens
When people show you their true nature, don’t get mad. Believe them.
Yesterday, a child in the neighborhood rang the doorbell. It was one of my son's friends. They play together, but not as much recently.

He had a handmade flyer in his hand, and asked… Continue reading When people show you their true nature, don’t get mad. Believe them.
God Equips His Faithful Servants
I always write about how its easier to do things with God than on your own. That is because I have spent most of my life trying to do everything on my own. It is hard for me to ask for help. I don't think that I can do it better, but I feel like… Continue reading God Equips His Faithful Servants
Give Cheerfully
I have to admit that I do not always give cheerfully. When I am exhausted, and my kids ask me to do one more thing, I don't always smile and do it. Have you ever been there? You are emotionally drained, and yet others still need you? It is hard to give, when you feel… Continue reading Give Cheerfully
Revere the Power of God
When I see a lightning bolt flash in the sky and hear the rumble of thunder from above, I am reminded of God's almighty power. When I see the beauty of nature in the Grand Canyon, sunsets, oceans, and mountains, I am reminded of God's majesty. When I pray and the Holy Spirit fills me… Continue reading Revere the Power of God

She risks her life to prevent a genocide of her people. She and the Jewish people prayed to God and fasted. God used… Continue reading Watch Out Enemies, God Changes Outcomes
The Wise Woman Builds Her House
There seems to be an unwritten rule that moms should return to work when their kids go back to school. Kids are in school 180 days a year and home 185 days a year, not including snow days, field trips, parent days at school and sick days. I did work part-time, until my oldest was… Continue reading The Wise Woman Builds Her House
