He will get us unstuck
Recently, our car was stuck in our driveway from the recent snow fall. So as my husband took our other vehicle to work, I became determined to get our car freed from the snow. I bundled myself up in warm, winter, attire and went out with my shovel. I shoveled our whole driveway and throughout…

His Faithful Love
Did you ever have a time that really stands out to you, where you prayed super hard and God told you no? Then, later it was because God was saying yes to something way better? I sure have. Looking back at those times of disappointment, I now look back in praise. There was a time…

Love like Jesus
Yesterday we stopped to get our kids each their own little bag of donuts. I had bought our youngest son a new flavor in which he hadn’t had before. Although he gave it his best try, he didn’t care for it. He was polite about it. Although our oldest knew that his little brother liked…

Cleansed from sin
I recently had to give my dog her bath. She did not enjoy it. Though it was much needed. Even though she hated the water and the soap and the whole process, she was super happy when she was done. She was glad to be clean. She ran around joyfully and looking so much cleaner.…

We cannot do life without God
I cannot do life without God. I just can’t. For when I am sad, He comforts me. When I am afraid, He gives me peace. When I or a loved one is sick, if in His will, He heals. When I am hurting, He brings relief, in His time. When I am out of line,…

Be mindful
Turn it off. Stop watching. Scroll on. Sometimes we just need to stop engaging in the all too consuming ways of the world. I am not saying being uniformed, but don’t be so consumed. If all we ever do is fill our minds and burden our hearts with the brokenness and sin of the world,…
