    The Joy of an Ordinary Day: 10 Simple Ways to Make Everyday More Meaningful

    August 13, 2026

    There is a particular kind of lie we tell ourselves without even realizing it. I’ll be happier when… When the house is finally clean. When work calms down. When I lose the extra five pounds. When I get through this busy season. When I take that vacation. When the kids are older. When I have more money. When life stops feeling like I am personally responsible for keeping approximately 47 plates spinning at once. Then, we tell ourselves, we’ll relax. We’ll enjoy ourselves. We’ll finally have time to appreciate our lives. The problem is that “when” is a slippery little…

    Bible Scriptures on Rebellion: Lessons Revealed for You

    January 14, 2025

    Rebellion is a powerful theme woven throughout the Bible, carrying profound implications for both individuals and communities. From the celestial realms to the earthly struggles of humanity, rebellion in the Bible serves as a stark reminder of the conflict between divine authority and human will. It challenges readers to reflect on the nature of defiance, whether it be against God, moral principles, or societal norms. As we explore these biblical lessons on obedience, we uncover not just the narratives of those who rebelled, but also the wisdom that emerges from their journeys. This article aims to delve into the rich tapestry…

    Hidden Treasure: Unlocking Your Full Potential in Christ

    January 24, 2024

    Birthdays have always been a BIG deal in our home. All 3 of my kids were born between July 11 – August 2 (over the course of 5 years). Needless to say July was a BUSY month of planning for this mama. They are mostly grown now, two teens and a 20 year old – I’m still wishing time would slow down but it doesn’t oblige. They were always so excited for their friends and family to start pulling into the driveway to celebrate their big day! And with each car that pulled into the driveway – a new toy…

    Looking for Peace? I Have the Answer

    January 8, 2024

    I sat down this morning to check off the first thing on my “to do list” – my God & I time. As I cracked open the book of choice for this year to get my thought for the morning – WOW – it’s almost like He knew exactly what I needed at exactly that moment.  You see, yesterday as we ate lunch my DH looked at me and said, “I’m worried about you.” That’s all it took to send me spiraling downward; self-doubt, rage, questions that have no answers, self-pity, and many more emotions followed. The truth is, I’m…

    Christ is Sufficient – But There are Conditions

    August 17, 2023

    II Corinthians 12:9 says, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Paul wrote this referring to his “thorn in the flesh”. He doesn’t tell us what his “thorn” is and I am so glad. We all have a “thorn” and the moral of this verse isn’t about how to escape the discomfort of the thorn, although Paul does make that request. The moral is that Christ is sufficient. What…
