I love Sundays. Because I love to go to Church and worship God. I love having a day when (for the most part) daily routines are put aside. I need Sunday. I need the teaching, the worship, the fellowship and the time to focus on God. We really like our church - Shadow Lake Community [...]
When we stop to really look at our lives and all that has happened to us in terms of what God is doing in our lives today, it is amazing to see how He uses everything that has ever happened to us to work through us for His glory. It is like each experience, every stage [...]
The longer I live the more I think that we make things so much more complicated than they need to be. We have dozens of books on our shelves telling us how to live, how to improve our lives. We listen to so many speakers, watch videos, go to seminars, read magazines. We are [...]
God gave me a wonderful gift this weekend. He gave me the opportunity to go to the Women of Faithconference free! I hadn’t even planned to go at all. He even threw in a free lunch! It was such a wonderful blessing. I have been before 7 or 8 times over the past 13 years. [...]
To Keep Us Humble
We all have something we struggle with.
Something that seems to hold us back.
The thing we wish could be different
so that life would be just what we want it to be.

First, I learned a big lesson the hard way this week. My son (15) has been playing a lot with his friends in recent months using air soft guns (they shoot little hard plastic pellets). They play it like paintball only you don’t have to be in a special place. I knew better (hindsight) but have [...]

God’s grace astounds me.
No matter how often I fail, He forgives me.
He never turns His back on me.
His love never fails.
Jesus made it possible.
Thank you Jesus for taking my sin and giving me your righteousness.
I could never make it without You.
You are my strength to face each day.
Without You, I can do nothing.
Live through me [...]
Father, I pray for all those close to me. Those in our family. Our friends. All You have brought into my life and across my path. Please bring each one, one step closer to Jesus. We are all in different places on our journey down here. Some are caught up in doubt that You even exist. Bring [...]
On January 1st (or was it the 2nd), I said God gave me the word “Perseverance’ for this year and that my goal was to read through the Bible. So far, I have kept it up. PTL! I realize it has only been a few weeks but for me that is victory! Also, on [...]
