A devotion taken from an edited version (James Reimann) of My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers: “He went out, not knowing where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8) Have you ever “gone out” in this way? If so, there is no logical answer possible when anyone asks you what you are doing. One of […]
Lent Season Ideas :-)
Lent is the season when we are reminded of Jesus’ sacrifice. It burdens are hearts to also sacrifice something for Him, out of our love of Him, our great thanks for what He has done for us, and our desire to share in His suffering. Usually, I think of something tangible to give up…like a food, […]
Divine Humility
Mark 10:18: “Why do you call me good, Jesus answered. No one is good – except God alone.” Wow. Jesus was the Son of God and perfect in every way. Surely He was good! As my husband told me this morning, Jesus said this for US. To show us HIS picture of Humility. This is […]
Unified Hearts
Lately, I have been asking the Lord to show me what unified hearts look like in a marriage. There are so many times when my loving husband and I see things differently…we have such different personalities…such different perspectives…even different goals or ideas about the future…but ONE great love: Jesus Christ. We both LONG for unity […]
Hannah’s FIRST STEPS!!!!
He guided her little feet into a brave path forward! Tomorrow, our little bundle of joy turns 18 months, and guess what she did TODAY???? She took her first steps!!! Hosea 11:3: “It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms…” — And He […]
Beautiful encouragement…
THIS is my most favorite passage in the Word right now: Zephaniah: 3:17: The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” —- What more could I ask of Him? How […]
A stranger in this world…
This world cannot satisfy my soul…nothing in this world can fill me up like Him. Everywhere I turn, I look for Him…wondering when He is going to come…wondering when He will redeem us to His loving arms…and in the meantime, finding BEAUTY in His creation….but wondering how it would have been without the curse. Oh […]
Idle Thoughts
The Lord convicted me of so many thoughts gone wrong in the battlefield of the mind…because of idle thoughts. I was not being present enough in each of my days and was lost often in my thoughts of the future or the past…or the possible future! My mind seemed to be LOST. I want to say […]
A beggar leading a beggar….
I heard this recently on a Christian radio station and I LOVED the picture it created in my mind. A beggar leading a beggar for food. That is what we are as Christians! I think a lot of people get turned off to Christianity because of the judgmentalism and pride of Christians. ‘They think they have […]
A Joyful Heart
A Joyful Heart I see a JOYFUL heart, I see a conscientous little boy, I see a BIG heart for God, even at 3. I see a DESIRE to obey, I see a heart burdened for others, I see a boy who delights in fellowship with others, a boy who sings and dances for the Lord. I […]
