Look Again Hope is Still There
There have been times in my life I felt maybe I heard God wrong. Times when I felt my life didn’t look anything like He had promised me it would be. I’ve wondered how good could come out of my circumstances or how could things work out after so many things had gone wrong. I’m sure that is kind of how Ephraim…

We Will Find God to Be Faithful Even When Others Are Not
It was one of the most devastating seasons of my life. My heart was not only broken but it had been shattered into a million pieces. What hurt the most was that the God I serve had allowed my pain to happen. For ten long months, I walked out that season crying out to God for deliverance from the pain.…

Accomplishing Much
I was surrounded by overachievers and goal masterminders. It left me asking myself, “What have you accomplished?” Regrettably, as I sat and pondered the question I couldn’t think of anything I felt I had done that would count as an accomplishment recently. I had spent the past week like so many others taking care of my husband, cooking meals,…

The Cross Isn’t Just for Easter
Did you know that the cross is not just for Easter? I have found it to be a place I need to visit often. Its message is timely for every day of the year.

Do you ever feel like just one more name in the middle of a bunch of names? Do you ever wonder if you even matter at all? Are you truly seen in a vast sea of so many others? While finding myself staring down at I Chronicles 4 this week, that is exactly what I was feeling. As I started reading…

Numbering My Days
My daughter texted me this photo of her dogs a couple of weeks ago. It spoke volumes about numbering my days and seeking out what is most important in my life. At first glance, all I saw was Abbey, the dachshund we called “Abbey doodle.” Unfortunately, she has now passed since this photograph. Then I saw Luke, the mixed rescue…

Becoming a Positive Proverbs 31 Woman
As women, don’t we love all the things?… The current styles, killer shoes, knock-out accessories, and don’t forget that new skincare line. We spend time waiting to have our hair styled and our nails manicured, and we all spend time online ordering all the stuff that will make us look more beautiful, successful, and put together. But are we…
