While it's true that we shouldn't give with the sole motivation of what we will get in return, any farmer who sows seed into good ground would be quite foolish NOT to expect a return on his investment. There is a difference between TITHING and GIVING. The tithe is what we PAY back to God. [...]

Did You Know This About Marriage?
Did you know this about marriage? Like most things in life, our ideas of certain things can be much different than how they truly are once we're in the thick of it, right? We think _________________ is going to be _______________! You can fill in the blank, I'm sure. Whether it's the occupation you completed/endured [...]
BREAKTHROUGH Happens When We PRAISE!
Coming off the heels of an incredible worship night at church has got me reflecting on the importance of PRAISE. It is right to go to our Father in prayer and make our requests known to Him. The Bible says, "You have not because you ask not." James 4:2 Jesus said, "Whatever you ask in [...]
Faith is of the Heart, Not the Mind
Did you know that you cannot operate in faith from your mind? That's why you can have FAITH in your HEART while you still have some DOUBT in your BRAIN. That's why we, too, can say, "Lord, I DO BELIEVE, help my UNBELIEF." (Mark 9:24) Faith doesn't make sense to your physical brain because it [...]
Aging is a Privilege!
Aging bodies are not less than or gross or unattractive. They are beautiful, incredible machines that house our spirit man and our souls (our minds, wills, and emotions). They have carried us through seasons joyful and hard. Have stretched and grown, sometimes weak and at others strong. They have scars from battles and wrinkles from [...]

Some things I'm thinking about today. There are so many more I could add, but it only allows 10 slides at a time I hardly ever regret things anymore, because I've renewed my mind to the fact that this is how I continue to learn, but writing some things down helps to keep me accountable [...]
Happy 2024!
Many times I have a Word or a phrase or a verse from the Lord to direct the New Year, but my heart keeps coming back to the Word I heard this past fall. In September 2023, on the Jewish Day of Rosh Hashanah, the head of the Jewish year, began Year #5784 The Year [...]
Why Winter is the Perfect Time to Take Care of You
Hey, Friends! I have never been an outdoorsy, winter-loving, cold-weather-appreciating girl myself. But I DO LOVE the vast opportunities for coziness that winter affords. ❤ If you live where it's going to be cold and dark the next few months the good news is that the days are beginning to slowly get longer. Until then, [...]

Having Compassion for Your Spouse’s Inabilities
Part of marriage (or any relationship for that matter) is understanding that your spouse is not always going to be running at full capacity. Life hits us each a little differently and usually when one of you is weak, the other is strong. But sometimes both of you will be feeling weak, and that's ok, [...]
