Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

1 Chronicles 28:20

Grief: Finding a New Normal

grief, a new normal

Time marches on. It doesn’t stop for anyone or anything…no matter how much we want it to. When you’re in the midst of grief, this just seems wrong. Time should stand still. Life can’t possibly go on because that means you’ll have to leave your loved ones behind. It just isn’t possible. Time needs to […]

While I’m still studying and blogging through the book of Galatians, I’m launching several of my new line of Bible study products this month. I wanted there are a few options should you move more quickly than I do through the study or if you’d like to start with a different book of the Bible. […]

Are You Seeking to Please or Longing to Serve?

As Christians we are called to be set apart, to live in the world but not be of the world. Jesus tells us to be like a light set upon the hillside, shining His love into the dark and troubled world in which we live. Being a Christian isn’t just something that we can claim […]

Grief is More Than Pain

When you lose someone you love and the grief first hits, the pain is so intense that you struggle to breathe.  As time slowly moves on and life starts to get back to “normal”, the intense pain that accompanies grief remains, but slowly you begin to realize that grief is more than pain.

I love to study God’s word. It brings me strength, comfort, direction and hope that I can’t find anywhere else.

The first person I remember losing was my great-grandfather on my dad’s side. As a Navy Brat I moved around quite a bit, so I wasn’t able to have a close relationship with him, but I have fond memories of his smile and laughter to this day. At his funeral I remember my dad and […]

No Chance to Say Goodbye

Today my heart is broken. I can’t catch my breath and memories keep flooding through my mind. Memories of times gone by filled with laughter shared, big dreams spoken out loud, loving embraces and tears shed over shattered moments of the past. I wonder how differently I would live my life if I was aware […]

I’m Ready to Fight

The last year and a half has been an incredible ride. One that I never imagined taking or ever saw coming our way. I’ve seen God change my dreams, grow our family business and change our homeschool method. There have been many blessings given to us over the years, mountain high experiences that were gifts […]

My Beloved Holds Me Close

Last month my husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. We didn’t have an elaborate celebration, fancy gifts or a romantic weekend getaway. Those are things that I used to want…no, need.
