• 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…

  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

• Do I Step Here?

  

  Hiking is one of my favorite pastimes. I revel in the exertion of trekking up a new peak. And at the top, I’m rewarded with the view. The glory of God’s creation from a different perspective than I’ve experienced before. Nothing is better than that. However, I’ve been lost before, which is not a pleasant…

• Holy Slow

  

  People who are ruled by their desires think only of themselves. Everyone who is ruled by the Holy Spirit thinks about spiritual things. If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the Spirit, we will have life and peace. Romans 8:5-6 CEV Have you ever had…

• Rest

  

  “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.” Psalm 62:1 “E. E. E” the warning light on my gas gauge flashed at me again. Although it was signaling the level of fuel in my SUV was low, I knew that it was also a reminder of the frantic pace I had…

• Insomnia

  

  Many times we moms try to flaunt our lack of sleep like a badge of honor when in reality it’s a giant neon “HELP ME” sign. Don’t believe me? The CDC states these comparisons: Being awake for 17 hours is similar to having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05% (the level some countries use…
