God IS “sure enough”

I am back at the top of this post adding the “last chapter” of the book!  God answers prayers! Miracles happen! God spoke the verse “A cord of three strands….” into my marriage AFTER He gave the verse to us as a couple earlier that morning.  He chose to orchestrate an entire day filled with confirmation…

The Love of Jesus in Your Marriage

After my early morning post, “A cord of three strands”, my husband and I went grocery shopping before heading to church. We enjoyed seeing this beautiful statue of Mary and Joseph at our local Kroger. God is good to remind us and confirm His message.

A cord of three strands is not easily broken

A Christian marriage built on a covenant relationship can be a powerful union for God’s Kingdom work.  After the post “Breath of Heaven”, I thought of Mary and Joseph, together, as a couple.  They loved God and withstood the world because together they were strong.  Not only do you individually decide to receive Christ in…

Breath of Heaven

Amy Grant sang a beautiful Christmas song called Breath of Heaven.  It is a song of praise and soul work from Mary, the mother of Jesus.  She is unsure of the physical, emotional, and spiritual responsibility that has been placed within her. Some of the lyrics: I am waiting, in a silent prayer I am…

Daughters need their daddies

I had to do another post this morning!  My oldest daughter who is out on her own now sent this to her daddy saying how much she loved him.  This list is from http://tarahedman.com/girls-daddies-knew/.  The post is entitled “What Little Girls Wish Daddies Knew”. Dads, you have an honored spot in your daughter’s life!  Consider reading…

God will lift you up and restore

Psalm 113: 7-8 “He lifts the poor from the dirt and the needy from the garbage dump.  He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people!” A local church is headed back to Guatemala to minister to children and families.  One of the ministries is working with children who live at “the…

Our Perfect Tutor

What if your problem never goes away?  Would you spend the rest of your life miserable and downtrodden? Some things we can’t change.  God in an instant can change a situation and heal.  Even so, when sin came into the world, we were faced to live with sin’s consequences. “You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for…

Mistakes Can Be Fixed

“Am I worth all the mistakes I’ve made?”  Dannah Gresh in And the Bride Wore White found herself at forty something asking that question.  She is a leader of purity retreats, writer of great Bible studies for teenage girls, and is an advocate for God’s best in the lives or our teens.  As her husband held…

Follow The Star

Lord, Just like the wise men, may we be wise in Your leading and Your Word. Help us to recognize Your Spirit working in each moment. Help our unbelief and unhealthy thoughts. Give us a child-like faith to believe in miracles. Give us confidence to do the unreasonable, the hard, and the impossible. Give us…

Anxiety, fears, and racing thoughts

2 Timothy 1:7  For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. God has not given us a spirit of fear!  He gives us power, love, and a sound mind.  Yet, today, anxiety, fear, and “monkey brain”–racing thoughts are prevalent and exhausting. Anxiety Disorders…
