Experiencing God’s Presence Daily

Isaiah and David demonstrated a remarkable depth of understanding about God—an intimacy that often eludes us in our fast-paced, distraction-filled lives. Their declarations in Scripture, such as “God is ________,” were not merely words but heartfelt affirmations born out of daily encounters with God. They understood God as their strength, salvation, song, and provider, depending…

60-Day Challenge

I signed up for a 60-Day Challenge at the gym. The concept is if changing a few things for 60 days then hopefully it becomes a habit. Their thoughts are by working out more often it will become a habit. So yes, I am hitting the gym more often. They ask the question, “What’s Your…

Hello Doubt, My Old Friend

Why do we doubt? Big question, right? What do you doubt? That is probably a bigger question for some people. I doubt myself. I doubt my abilities and my talents. Honest, I am that. I struggle with doubt. It is easy to “wonder” about things. It is how a child learns. I am talking about…

Who are you, Lord?

I have been asked that question at the end of each chapter of the workbook I am studying. I have failed to answer. Not because I do not know who God is, but how do I write who He is each time the question is asked. So, today I have decided to write out who…

Asking for a Friend, Lord…

Why cancer, Lord? Is there not an easier way to die? I mean, seriously, rounds of fire through the veins and then pointed directly at the spot. I don’t doubt you have a purpose. But my friend doesn’t seem to understand. So, I’m asking for a friend. Lord, why do you take people at what…

My Mom & Dad

Dear Mom & Dad

Life is not the same without you. I understand it was your time to go, but I needed more time. I needed a little more conversation. I needed one more hug. I still need those things, but life goes on even when you wish it could stand still. There are so many things that have…

Rebel Without Cause

Yes, I am aware the movie title is “Rebel Without A Cause”, but that is not what I am writing about. As a parent, you look at your child differently than you do other children, right? Do you judge other parents by their child’s actions? Every child is rebellious at some point, some are rebellious…

Easter…

Oh how our Christian holidays have changed. We invented a fat man to bring gifts to our children, instead of celebrating the birthday of our Savior. We then added a bunny to bring baskets of candy & stuff to our children, instead of celebrating the gift of sacrifice Christ gave to us. Why? Is it…

A Love Story…

When you think of a love story, what comes to mind? Romeo & Juliet, of course. Maybe your own love story is note-worthy. But do you think of God and His love story for us? Valentine’s Day has come and gone. How did you celebrate? Did you get flowers, jewelry, or candy? Did you celebrate…

Commitments…Hmmm…

We all have them, commitments. But what happens when you have too many? Or you do not have the right mindset to handle the ones you have before you taken on more? How do you respectfully decline a new commitment? What if it was a commitment you felt God leading you to do? Hmmm… “Go…
