Prayer is on my mind ALL the time!!! God puts things on my heart and on my mind oftentimes…and then I try to think about what He could be up to 🙂 Sometimes, that gets me in trouble when I try to draw conclusions about what He is up to….but I am learning to ‘ponder […]
Post-Advent :-(
This is always a tough time for me. I am not entirely sure why, but I think with all the excitement, joy, and anticipation of the Advent Season…I feel a bit sad afterward that it is all over. BUT, truly, it is only beginning! Christ’s birth was the beginning of what was to be the […]

A little heart’s transformation
I have been thinking about Lewis a lot lately and the changes he has gone through the past few weeks and month. Up until a few weeks ago, it was always been a back and forth growth pattern in behavior and all sorts of things for him. It took so much work and God […]

Unconditional love/Unconditional Respect
Something really neat that the Lord is teaching me lately in my marriage is that my spouse is God’s most tangible way of loving me. The Lord loves me in MANY ways, and yes, my sweet husband is not perfect, but the Lord DESIRES my husband and I to LOVE each other as He would love us […]
Christ-like attitude
“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, and being found in appearance as a man He humbled Himself and […]
3rd Week of Advent
I still feel there is much more to be cleansed from our hearts and home, so we are going to make a MONTH of cleansing. Everywhere I turn, God is calling me to live a SIMPLE life. He is telling me to get rid of EVERYTHING that distracts me from him or leads me into […]
