We all get tempted, by the enemy, our own selfish desires, or when we are overcome with the wrong emotions. Either way, it is common and inevitable. If the devil tried to tempt Jesus, don’t you think he will be quick to come after us? As I was reading Luke 4 about Jesus being tempted…
WELL DONE
As I woke this morning to the news of Rev. Billy Graham’s passing, I just started weeping. He has been one of the greatest examples of what it means to live for Jesus. Not to just believe in Jesus or do good but to surrender your life completely to Him. He defined what a true…
OUR FOREVER VALENTINE
Happy Valentine’s friends! This is the one day a year that our calendar tells us to step it up in the love department. There is that pressure to celebrate our loved ones, more than the norm. Expectations such as flowers, chocolate, cards and expensive night out. When they are not met we may feel unloved…
MY HUMILITY HIS GLORY
Most of my life, I have been an independent Jesus girl. I’ve lived as if having the mindset of, “I love you Jesus but I got this.” As long as I had control of my decisions, my plans, and my desires then I was good. I could have Jesus and still be in control, right…
OH HAPPY DAY
It’s already the last day of January, where does the time go? It’s such a reminder that life is too short to stay bound. Isn’t it such a relief to know that we have the answer to life’s problems. People disappoint but God never does. People walk out but God never does. Life may hurt…
TRANSITION
Today I celebrate my birthday and what a year already. Transition. Good transition. Change is always hard even good change. Yet as I sit here and reflect on another birthday, gratitude fills my heart. For so many reasons but mostly for God’s faithfulness. I am amazed that the God of the universe is so intricately…
LIKEWISE
Jesus loved to make a point using parables. He’s sneaky like that haha, the setup Jesus. He would share a parable, then point to you, with the goal of teaching you a lesson. I would go to say one of the hardest acts of living like Jesus, is to love the offendable. Jesus shares the…
COME TO ME
We tend to turn to many things when we are weary or burdened. It’s our nature to comfort or distract ourselves. Whether it’s food, tv, social media, friends, shopping there are many ways we can seek temporary escape. Yet, there is the Lord’s remedy and perfect cure and only he provides that permanent relief. In…
OUR REFUGE
Happy New Year friends. I pray that you have started it off right by seeking the Lord’s direction above all. There is no greater fulfillment than to stay humbly obedient. I usually celebrate New Year’s eve feeling excited, this year I did not. Last year, was one of my most emotionally difficult. From our country…
NEW EVERYTHING
Hoping that you had a wonderful Christmas season celebrating the reason for the season. As the new year approaches, we tend to come up with new year resolutions such as losing weight and other goals. Most people chuckle at the ideas as unrealistic. It takes very intentional lifestyle changes to break old habits. I remember…
