Have you ever asked God for something you really, really wanted? I’m talking about the type of desire in your heart that goes so deep it consumes all your thoughts. A desire that seems to take top priority in all your prayers. It’s that one thing that you’re sure if God would just answer thisContinue reading “God’s Promises Are Always Bigger”

God Remembers Our Prayers
It really shouldn’t surprise me how that God pays attentions to the details of our lives. Sometimes it’s incredibly overwhelming to think that the God who created the entire universe and everything in it is intimately concerned about even the really small things in my life. He knows the number of hairs on my head.Continue reading “God Remembers Our Prayers”
I Am Doing A New Thing
It’s another New Year. I can hardly believe how fast 2020 went, and yet it felt like a year that would never end. This year has had a lot of ups and downs. It started off with such expectancy. God gave me the word “Flourish” for 2020, and I was just sure that after theContinue reading “I Am Doing A New Thing”
How Solid is Your Foundation?
Last night I had an interesting dream. I’ve talked about how lately I’ve been paying more attention to my dreams, trying to write them down, and praying about whether or not the dream holds any special meaning. I’m a pretty vivid dreamer. It’s not uncommon for my dreams to contain a lot of detail, aContinue reading “How Solid is Your Foundation?”
Without Grumbling or Complaining
In Thessalonians 5:18, Paul writes a pretty controversial sentence: “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” On good days, I read this verse and I think, “Give thanks! Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to give thanks! This is a great day and IContinue reading “Without Grumbling or Complaining”
An Unfinished Testimony?
I love testimonies! I think they’re my favorite part of church meetings. Revelation 12:11 says: “They triumphed over him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” Our testimonies are incredibly important because they helpContinue reading “An Unfinished Testimony?”
Walking Away
It’s taken me a long time to write this post. On Mother’s Day (2020), my husband and I got into an argument. It was an argument we had had before. Ever since our children were put into foster care in January of 2019, there has been intense pressure from the foster care system for usContinue reading “Walking Away”
Overcoming Weariness
We are in the sixth week of mandatory lock downs due to COVID-19. Our governor has chosen to extend the stay home/stay safe order for another two weeks….minimum. What was supposed to be a short two week effort to flatten the curve has turned into a seemingly never-ending cycle of social distancing. It feels likeContinue reading “Overcoming Weariness”
I Must Be Doing Something Right
Parenting is hard. There’s no manual on how to do things. You just do the best that you can and hope that it’s good enough. For us, parenting is about raising responsible adults. We want our children to learn how to navigate life on their own as they grow. We want them to make wiseContinue reading “I Must Be Doing Something Right”
Jesus Understands
The reason I chose the homeschool curriculum I did is because it was literature based. The premise is that you can learn a lot by reading good, quality literature. It’s worked well for my family so far. In our first grade schedule, we have a book that I adore. My daughters have loved it, too;Continue reading “Jesus Understands”
