• The Life Ring is Waiting

  

  They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them. Nehemiah 9:17 NIV “Ready, set, THROW!” A white life preserver…

• Drops of Water on Your Face

  

   But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”  “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said.

• Faith > Fear: For Your Household

  

  Every choice you make as a mama affects future generations. In reading Hebrews 11 today I was struck by the number of FAITH people that saved their “households” (meaning kids, parents, siblings etc.) because of their tenacious boldness and unwillingness to surrender to fear. Let me show you what I’m talking about. By faith Noah, being…

• Triple-Shot Espresso Anxieties

  

  As far as personalities go, I’m like a triple-shot espresso. High energy, go-getter, life-of-the-party type. My husband is the complete opposite. Decaf, straight black, no creamer. Uncomplicated and always calm. Because of our opposite personalities, I’ve learned to rely on him for strength when anxieties start creeping around in my mind. He calmly and patiently…

If you’ve been battling depression, anxiety, anger, fear, or any other negative thought cycle, then you’ve maybe been distracted from the real problem–the enemy.

  Today was Monday and I was struggling to find the desire to yank my tired body out of bed.  Through sheer willpower, I begrudgingly drug my tired body to our local YMCA.
