P-R-A-Y

If I'm being honest, my prayer life is something I struggle with.  We are clearly instructed to pray in the Bible.  In Ephesians we are told to "pray at all times" (Ephesians 6: 18 CSB), and 1 Thessalonians we are told to "pray constantly" (1 Thessalonians 5:17 CSB).  Jesus says in Matthew, "WHEN you pray" … Continue reading P-R-A-Y →

Joshua 4: Memorial Stones

Joshua 4:7, "you should tell them, 'the water of the Jordan was cut off in front of the ark of the Lord's covenant. When it crossed the Jordan, the Jordan's water was cut off.' Therefore these stones will always be a memorial for the Israelites' ". Yesterday we talked about how easy it was to … Continue reading Joshua 4: Memorial Stones →

Joshua 2: Rahab and the Spies

Joshua 2: 11 CSB, "When we heard this, we lost heart, and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below". I love the story of Rahab!  I love God's love for His people and that He accepts us, regardless of our past!  Rahab's … Continue reading Joshua 2: Rahab and the Spies →

Nothing But the Blood

This past weekend my family and I took a "before-school-starts-back" trip to New York.  The last couple of years we have tried doing something the weekend before school starts to get some uninterrupted family time before the early morning routines and the busy afternoons get going again.  The first day, we saw Aladdin on Broadway … Continue reading Nothing But the Blood →

My Prayer Closet

"But when you pray, go into your private room, shut your door, and pray to your Father who is in secret.  And your Father who sees in secret will reward you". (Mathew 6:6 CSB) In my last post, Relationships are a Two-Way Street, I talked about how having a relationship with God requires action on … Continue reading My Prayer Closet →

Relationships are a Two-way Street

Have you ever had a friendship, or relationship fizzle out and die?  For whatever reason, communication begins to lessen, and you drift away.  The same can happen in our relationship with God.  However, God isn't the one who drifts away.  He is always near.  "The Lord is the One who will go before you.  He … Continue reading Relationships are a Two-way Street →

Refreshed by the Water

I'm writing this post from my "happy place", the beach!  My husband and I have been coming to the same area since before we had kids.  I'm sitting on the balcony looking down on the sugar white sand and the turquoise blue water, watching how calm the water is.  I absolutely love the ocean!  It … Continue reading Refreshed by the Water →

Watching the Wind

I love the account of the time Peter asked Jesus to "command me to come to you on the water" (Matthew 14:28 CSB).  Jesus told him to come, so Peter got out of the boat and began walking toward Jesus on the water.  "But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, … Continue reading Watching the Wind →

“If Only…”

I have been studying the story of Rachel and Leah, two sisters from the book of Genesis.  Each desperately wanted what the other one had.  They were both married to Jacob, however, Rachel is the one who had his heart, "he loved Rachel more than Leah" (Genesis 29:30).  Leah wanted to be loved by Jacob, … Continue reading “If Only…” →

The Key to Happiness

Lately, I have been seeing posts about "happiness" and how to achieve it.  And, it was one of my goals for 2019, to be a "happier" person.  It's not that I'm an unhappy person, but sometimes anxiety and life in general can certainly feel like it has zapped my happiness. A Google search of "how to … Continue reading The Key to Happiness →
