The Lord never promised us that this life would be easy or free of hardships and difficulties. While we are not OF this world, we do live IN this world, and it is a broken world. There is plenty of beauty and plenty of terrible to be witnessed. I believe it is the stark contrast [...]

Need A Reboot?
It's been a busy couple weeks of nanny life. One of my little guys has had an appointment at the house two mornings a week and we were in the car two hours each afternoon for a drop-off/pick-up science camp in the city for my big guy. Carting a toddler and a preschooler means implementing [...]
What’s Your Focus?
The more we focus on what WE are called to do, the less we worry about what OTHERS are doing or not doing. We can spend much of our day unconsciously judging everyone around us, physically present, or through the online lens. I'm sure there was a time when life seemed much simpler and we [...]
Thoughts Are Optional
Did you know that your thoughts are optional? I once heard Candas Jackson say, "I used to think, I had to think, every thought, I thought." Wow! Do you mean we don't? That seems too good to be true, right? But it is definitely true. Whether it's our brain telling us something it is picking [...]
Perfectly Imperfect
Hebrews 12:2 "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." I don't know about you, but learning the truth that I no longer have to try [...]
Fill Up With The Water Of The Word
Ever try to do the work of getting rid of wrong thoughts? It's impossible to get all that junk out of your head no matter how much willpower you try to muster up and tell yourself that tomorrow will be different and you're not going to think about the past and those negative thoughts that [...]
God Won’t Waste It
"God causes ALL things to work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are called according to HIS purpose." Romans 8:28(NAS) You can trust that HE IS GOOD! You can trust that HE IS WITH YOU! You can trust that HE HAS A PLAN! And that it is RIGGED IN YOUR [...]
Don’t Quit!
If God only gave us ears and not a mouth, we could hear the Word, and faith could come, but it could not be activated because we do not have a mouth to activate it. Faith has to be in our hearts and coming out of our mouths to be active. It's not enough just [...]
Laugh At The Devil!
People give the devil far too much credit. He's not the "bad god" and God is the good God. No. The devil is a created being. Far lower in power than God. In fact, he's already been stripped of power, and authority over him has been given to the children of God, although many are [...]
There Is No Halfway With God
There is no such thing as "halfway" with God. When he gets behind something be assured that His part is all the way and He's all in! He doesn't change His mind. James 1:17"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and [...]
