Tis’ So Sweet

Tis’ so sweet to trust in Jesus, was the song we sang as we closed out the Sunday service. I repeated the lyrics to myself as I sat on the plane, flying home from Oklahoma. When we trust Jesus to do what only He can do, He always shows up and exceeds our expectation. PastorContinue reading “Tis’ So Sweet”

The Rock

Have you noticed that when people walk along the beach, they rarely walk in the loose, dry sand? Most often they choose the sand that is close to the water that is packed down, hardened and easier to walk on. I believe we are seeing many walking on sand that seems solid but fail toContinue reading “The Rock”

Habits and Pot Roasts

After a recent visit to Idaho, a friend of mine introduced me to Nancy, a godly woman who has been in ministry for over 30 years. We instantly began talking, and within minutes she was pouring her knowledge and wisdom into me of all that she had learned over the last several years. She saidContinue reading “Habits and Pot Roasts”

Come Close

I reached out and held His hand, as I felt His nearness sitting in my car outside my home. Crying and asking for deeper, for more of Him. I felt His love say that’s not close enough, and He let go of my hand and picked me up as I laid my head on HisContinue reading “Come Close”

The Greatest In The Kingdom of Heaven

Last weekend, while visiting my brother-in-law and his sweet family, we decided to have an afternoon swim in their neighborhood pool. The kids were slopped with sunscreen, googles on, and could not get in the pool fast enough. They were jumping in and swimming around within minutes of us arriving. I, however, took my timeContinue reading “The Greatest In The Kingdom of Heaven”

Joy

The moment I felt George move for the first time in my belly is a memory that I will never forget. I smiled as big as my lips would stretch for something I waited my whole life for was finally a reality. Then, several years later was the moment I laid in front of aContinue reading “Joy”

The Persistent Pursuit

The days are getting shorter, I’m finally putting my kids to bed on time, and we are all cramming in the last summer activities before a new school year begins. I’ve talked to several mothers feeling anxious about another year. Although I homeschool, I too feel the disquiet of teaching my boys again. I’m contemplatingContinue reading “The Persistent Pursuit”

We Are Family

The boys and I ventured on the water, testing our new paddleboards for the first time. The sun was hot, the water was calm, a few too many mosquitos, but overall, it was a perfect day for a float. The boys went ahead of me paddling and taking turns jumping into the water, as IContinue reading “We Are Family”

The Altar

I did not fully understand the words, holy matrimony, until the day I walked up the stairs of the altar, and grabbed my husband’s hands and said the words, “I do.” It was one of the most holy, special days of my life. It was the day I made a covenant with my husband, beforeContinue reading “The Altar”
