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

Isn’t it amazing that God designed us in such a way that even our very ability to breathe is evidence of how much we need Him? Have you ever been so overwhelmed by the weight of the world that you stopped to take some deep breaths? Maybe you slowly inhaled and exhaled, focusing on breathing… Continue reading Just Breathe

Give me ordinary. I don’t want more, bigger, and better.  I want the every-day things.  Waking up early to read God’s Word and pray.  Getting my kids up for school with a kiss and a hug while they’re still half asleep.  Helping everyone get ready for their day.  Dropping them off and telling them to… Continue reading Give Me Ordinary

We all know the saying, “Home is where the heart is.” Already this year, in my community, we have been reminded of how short life is.  How we never know how much time on Earth we have left.  The song, “Love Will Be Our Home” has been on my mind the past few days. It’s… Continue reading Love Will Be Our Home

Do you ever have that moment where you run into that person who has hurt you, your family, or someone you love? What do you do? Do you do like me and try to avoid them at all costs? Then, do you remind yourself of what they did?  Do you go over in your head what… Continue reading If Only God Said, “Avoid Your Enemies.”
