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

Marriage is Under Fire and the Salt & Light Link Up #45

My Future is Not Dictated by My Past

How very thankful I am that God’s grace is a gift that He bestows upon us even when we don’t deserve it…even after we’ve failed Him time and time again. There have been countless times in my life that I have chosen to go my own way even though I definitely knew that it was […]

A Life Rightly Full and the Salt & Light Link Up #44

When life is full and you don’t know how to slow down, eventually you will break. If you were to ask me how I know I would tell you it’s because that’s a road I’ve been down more times than I can count. Somehow in my mind I think I can take on the world, […]

Letting Go and Family Fun Friday Link Up

It's time to talk about me letting go.

Being Real: Praying for Love and Salt & Light Link Up #43

This week I'm praying for love to be cultivated in myself, my family and my home.

It’s easy to say that I love someone, but showing love is sometimes harder. Whether it be that I just don’t know how or that my loved ones see love differently than I do, it can require extra effort to show love for my family. I don’t want my verbal, “I love you”, to be […]

Faith is Required

Throughout the lives of Abraham and Sarah faith was required.

It’s been such a blessing to be reading through with the Good Morning Girls the last few months and this last week we read through Genesis 19-25. Throughout these chapters there were so many situations that faith was required. Often times I think I forget that Abraham and Sarah had to have faith in God […]
