Faith Requires Us to be Believers ~ Not Achievers, but this can be a hard concept to grasp! After reading mentions of this topic, it got my mind stirring about this particular part of the Christian faith. Without a doubt, it is very important that we believe that we are accepted because of our faith in Jesus ~ and not because of our good works. While I love this fact, I must also admit that it seems contrary to how... Read more
Learning to trust God more, while worrying less, is an area that I believe most of us could admit to needing a little improvement in! It’s easy to say that we trust God; but oftentimes, we still worry and fret about situations that are seemingly impossible and beyond our control. Human nature has us trying to figure out every little detail of our problems for ourselves. We want the answers, and we want them right now! Yet, God commands us... Read more
This photo took my breath away because I adore seeing miraculous things like this, in the most unexpected moments. It’s just like God to stop my busyness long enough for me to look up at the moon and clouds, and grab my phone for a picture. It was beautiful enough, even before I saw the cross shining through it! That cross speaks to my heart, and carries so much meaning! But before all of that, a baby was born to... Read more
While pondering topics to write about this week, my thoughts were naturally leaning towards Christmas themes. The birth of Jesus, and all the miracles that surround it, are why we emphasize the expression that “Jesus is the Reason for the Season.” However, there was a specific word that continually captured my attention, and popped up every single day in one way or another. It was in my Bible reading time, songs I heard, and even television shows that happened to... Read more
The Christmas season is upon us! It’s a time for faith, family and traditions to come together in celebration of the birth of Jesus. The traditions that we have made as a family over many Christmas seasons, may one day become our legacies. With that said, my greatest hope is that our family will carry on in the faith, and share the truth of Jesus, throughout every generation to come! Together, may we proclaim the gospel of Luke 2:14; “Glory... Read more
Have you ever thought about what it means to be an ambassador or messenger for Christ? It’s a subject that has been on my mind, so I’m diving in to get some answers for myself, and you, if you’re interested. My Bible study time has randomly led me to several different areas in scripture where God uses messengers to prepare the way for Jesus. Reading those accounts has me thinking about the calling on my life. What does it really... Read more
Thanksgiving week has my thoughts gearing up to write about the many blessings in my life. While this is probably the expected direction to take, my mind is also pondering a different perspective altogether. It in no way changes the fact that I have boundless things in which to give thanks for in my life, and I do! My gratitude is poured out abundantly all throughout the year. This Thanksgiving, however, I’d like to challenge you with the same question... Read more
Jesus Loves You! The simple truth of those three words is something that I hope to share across the world, in a way that people can truly resonate with. Consequently, I realize that it is also one of the hardest concepts for most people to believe. You see, in saying this, you need to know that I am not just trying to reach a person who does not believe in Jesus yet. On the contrary, I am also speaking directly... Read more
God has blessed my life tremendously, of that there is no doubt. In order to share proof of that statement, it is necessary for me to share some of my business background and experience. It’s important that you know that in doing so, my purpose is not to build myself up in your eyes. Instead, it is so that I can give God the praise for all that He has allowed me to accomplish thus far, while knowing He’s not... Read more
In recent years, I have admittedly given much more thought to seeking my purpose, and pursuing my dreams. Perhaps the realization that I am not getting any younger, is contributing to the sense of urgency I feel about it now. It would certainly make sense that my age is a factor, and I’m not getting any younger, for sure! When I first took steps toward the dreams of writing in 2019, I had no idea where God might lead, but... Read more
