God Has A Place

One of the greatest things God taught me on this mission trip was where I see challenges (and there are plenty) God sees and will use them as opportunities. He has a place for Grace just as she is.  To give you an idea of what learning this means to me I'll share where my heart was.

Teach By Example

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to go on a family mission trip with our church. Just getting there was a journey.

My Steps Have Been Ordered

praying I came to a place of surrender and said; "I love my church, I love these people... but I love you more. I will follow where you lead."

This is what answered prayers look like

This is what answered prayer looks like... Jonathan playing, talking and laughing with a new friend. For the past 3yrs I've watched as anxiety and selective mutism has stolen away what should be normal things for a little boy.

Christmas Advent Books

One of the thing I've started doing with my kids is reading these advent books with ornaments that helps us focus on Who our God Is. There are so many fun things at Christmas but I love making time to focus on what Christmas is all about - Christ.

Be thankful, Always

On Thanksgiving we were headed back home we were delayed for quite awhile as we made our way past two bad wreaks.

God Speaks

This fall I joined a Bible study on the book of Joshua. Here is a bit about my time in this study. You can watch the video or read. Whatever works best for you.

Come and rest

I don't know how your year has been but I am going to take a guess and say it was a different. Mine certainly has been crazy for many reason as covid-19 took over our lives. Jesus said "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28

Just a Note

Father, this year has been a hard one. One that has tested me in so many ways. Thank you that through all the hard I know that you walk with me.

I Am Serving Here

I wrote this in with out much thought. Then I looked at what I posted and realized how much I needed those words. I was preaching to myself with out even trying.

The things I’ve learned today

My friend and I were chatting about school when I told her this; "2 things I've learned: 1-God was right when He told me that I need help! 2- Complete dependence on Him. 3 (bonus)- with Jesus and a coffee in my hand I can do even this.

Place of Peace

Let me tell you about this place. I started studying the Psalms with a friend at the beginning of the year. Well, the invitation was to read and share but I rarely ever stop there. No, I've stopped and studied each one. In this shelter-in-place time, this time is what keeps me focused on Who My God Is.

Good Friday

This one is inspired by the words of John the Baptist "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" - John 1:29. Jesus on the cross is the fulfillment of John's words that day. It wasn't easy to paint, it isn't easy to look at. It isn't meant to be.

Be the Light in the Dark

I've never seen these lights off before. When I do get to visit home one of the things you can see first it the lights. First it a small glow but then it gets brighter, I know I'm close. In all of this craziness of the coronavirus, the lights of Vegas have been shut off. I'm not sure it's ever been done before.
