Forgiving someone doesn’t require you to have the same relationship with them after they’ve hurt you. You can still forgive, but choose to move on. God is always the ultimate example. He offers forgiveness to everyone. He forgives, though we don’t deserve it. He forgives before we realize we need to be forgiven. But not… Continue reading Forgiveness Can Be One-sided, But Relationships Can’t

Forgiveness is so difficult for us because even when we want to forgive, we want to be able to do it, and move on. When in reality, we see that bitterness, anger, and hurt often come creeping back in. Why is that? Why can’t we just say, “I forgive”? The end. I think it’s like… Continue reading God’s Strength Is Found In Forgiveness

Should we stay home? Should things reopen? Are we being cautious enough? Are we overreacting? Is the worst over? Or yet to come? When will things get back to normal? What if someone I love gets sick? Is fear taking over? Is worry? How do we know what is right? The truth is, no one… Continue reading His Truth Is All We Need

What would you do if you knew today was our last day on Earth? Would you do anything differently? Psalms 90:12 says, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Maybe you’re like me. I tuck my baby boy into bed, watch him sleep, and thank God for him… Continue reading I Want To Number My Days

Could it be me?  Could it be you? I’ve prayed a lot for our country and our world. I’ve prayed for protection from sickness for my family. I’ve prayed for healthcare workers. I’ve prayed for those who have lost their jobs; for those who’ve lost loved ones. I’ve prayed for peace over fear.  But what… Continue reading Could It Be Me?

We feel like we’ve lost control of our lives.  We fear what’s ahead.  We fear the unknown.  But in reality, God who was our Creator a few weeks ago, is still our Creator today.  In reality, you had no more control over your life a few weeks ago than you do today.  God still has… Continue reading The Control You Thought You Had…You Didn’t

You can’t turn on the tv or get on social media without the mention of the Coronavirus.  Events are being cancelled, schools are closing, and toilet paper is a hot commodity.  But it is possible to recognize the potential impact of Coronavirus without being overcome by fear and anxiety.  We have an opportunity to show the world… Continue reading Peace In The Midst Of Uncertainty

Pray in the school pick up line.  Pray in the drive thru.  Pray on your drive to work.  Pray at work.  Pray at home while you’re feeding your kids.  Pray while you play with them.  Pray while you brush your teeth.  Pray when someone has a prayer request.  The devil wants you to think that… Continue reading In Everything, Pray

Recently, our pastor had an idea for an answered prayer chain.  We would have colored strips of paper and could write down prayers that we prayed that had been answered throughout the week.  I volunteered to collect the strips of paper each week and assemble the chain.  So far we have close to 100 links… Continue reading Pray Little!

What if we prayed for each other’s marriage? What if we realized that the devil is attacking us by attacking the very thing that God created? Mark 10:6-9 says, “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘FOR THIS REASON a man will leave his father and mother and be united… Continue reading Friend, I’m Praying For Your Marriage
