i think we all know the deal....living life in a fallen world includes storms, trials and tests.  at any given point we are all going through something.  as people of faith we trust - and we obey and we know that our faithful God is working all things out for our good because we love Him and because we are called according to His purpose. at the same time we also on occasion experience fear just like the disciples did when they were out rowing or should i say "straining to get to the other … [Read more...]

i remember when my son was about 5 years old (he's 21 now) he said "mom" when i grow up i am going to buy the house next door and build a sidewalk from my house to yours so it won't take long to visit each other.  i remember enjoying that moment and wishing that it would last. that's the thing about motherhood - things change - our children grow up - we get older - and on and on.......but the one thing every mom can give her children is an example of a faith filled life. it's our faith in … [Read more...]

by now most of you have heard that thursday is the national day of prayer.  i am very thankful that our nation sets aside time to pray. as we take extra time as a nation to pray - please make it a priority to pray for all those in leadership.  it is so easy to point out a leader's flaws - mistakes - and to talk about what we agree or disagree with.  we must remember though that God has asked us to give honor to whom honor is due and that we must pray for our leaders and show them … [Read more...]
