The Secret Life

Want to have an adventure this 2014?  Walter Middy’s secret life became reality when he took action.  Many events propelled him on, but the one event, or connection that spurred him on the most was the budding love at the office. She gave him the words of encouragement that he needed to bring his secret…

You’ll Never View Marriage The Same Way Again

Jehovah God gave all the living creatures to Adam to name but there was not a helper for him.  God saw this void and caused Adam to fall asleep.  He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh. From this rib, Jehovah God made woman and brought her unto the man. Genesis 2:…

Ignite the ordinary

Simplicity in worship.  When I was a young girl in worship service, I can remember the simplicity and a strong sense of togetherness.  Our family traveled to Central Baptist Church to sing this Sunday and it was like going home.  We had a joyful time sitting in Sunday school listening to a message about putting…

Meeting God in the Broken Places (Rusty Rustenbach)

Watching the video first will move you.  Please consider spending this time with Jesus and meeting Rusty Rustenbach. A new year is upon us!

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…

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…
