I’m Back! (Update)

I never intended to be away this long. I have been busy with life, ministry, and fostering kittens. (The last kitten went to its forever home this morning.) I’m still enjoying The Bible Recap and just finished Day 181! My daughter’s junior year of homeschooling kept us quite busy. In addition to homeschooling, I facilitated […]

Goal #1: Boast In Jesus & Grow In Knowledge

I don’t watch the news, but plenty of negative reports flood social media about all the bad in the world —what the enemy is doing. The world’s cries flaunt death, turmoil, chaos, wars, and rumors of wars ad nauseam. It is far too easy for even Christians to get caught up in the current negativity […]

Vision: More Than a Blog, Building A Faith Community

It has been in my heart to share my hopes for building a community of believers in Jesus to encourage each other to go deeper and after ‘the more’ of God so we can better serve our families, churches, and spheres of influence. I am a member of a beautiful, life-giving, Christ-honoring home church (North […]

A few weeks ago, the kids and I met up with a longtime friend and her kids for a hike. We decided to try a different route than we were used to, leading to a challenging rock climbing adventure. As usual, the kids motored ahead quickly and determinedly while I frequently stopped to catch my […]

Opportunities for Growth Living in Quarantine

I believe He has been uniquely preparing each of us for this time.

God is on the Move

I believe the Lord is gathering His hungry and passionate children to unite and pursue Him like never before.

A Miraculous Way Out

He [Peter] signaled for them to be quiet as he shared with them the miraculous way the Lord brought him out of prison. Acts 12:17 (TPT) Peter was securely bound with two chains between two sleeping guards and awakened in the middle of the night by an angel of the Lord who escorted him out […]

The Company You Keep During a Season of Hardship Matters

Even though the Lord may allow you to go through a season of hardship and difficulty, He Himself will be there with you. He will not hide Himself from you, for your eyes will constantly see Him as your Teacher. Isaiah 30:20 (TPT) I don’t like hardship and difficulty. I really don’t. However, if I’m […]

Let’s Go…

7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is in the LORD. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious […]
