“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 (NLT) Silent Saturday. The one day of Holy Week we don’t hear much about. Palm Sunday and Good […]
Are you struggling today with the out-of-nowhere storm that suddenly popped up in your life? Maybe it’s an unexpected health diagnosis rocking your very core.

“God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him.” 1 John 4:9 (NLT) Today I could just simply say… God loves you! And I would absolutely be correct. But I’d rather show you that He does. See, I […]

“Jesus said to him, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!’ ” (John 21:22) ESV I’m gonna shoot that bird if he’s not gone when we get back from vacation! My husband was at his wits end. Cringing, I immediately said a prayer… […]
“Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” (Proverbs 22:6) NLT I hate family tension. Those times when conversations become a bit heated and drama seems to invade out of nowhere. Times when we’re misunderstood or not being heard like we desperately expect. I’m a peacemaker […]
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13) NLT I absolutely refused to read the details of Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion. As a young Christian, it was beyond enough squirming in a pew just hearing each word showcasing His agony like… mocked, whipped, spit on, beaten, and […]
