Faith Through the Word, Inspiration

Don’t Look Back

It may seem strange that God says here not to look back, because throughout scripture He instructs His people to remember the past things He has done for them--the miraculous ways He delivered them, set them free, provided for their needs. He tells them to remember in order to build up their faith. It works… Continue reading Don’t Look Back

Waiting

Waiting. Ugh! I don’t know anyone who likes this word. And yet, so much of our lives is spent that way. One of the most visual forms of waiting is during pregnancy. Those of us on the “outside” can see progress toward that wonderful and beautiful day. However, the brain of the mom is constantly… Continue reading Waiting

We Are What?

I’d like to change how you see yourself just a bit. Those of us who love God with all of our hearts are called to a higher purpose. But it also makes us part of a very special group of people—God’s  inheritance! Say what? Yes, that is a “head-scratcher” for sure. How could we, with… Continue reading We Are What?

What If Mary Had Said No?

She did have a choice, you know. What if she had looked at the angel and told him that there was no way, no how she was going to go along with this plan? Seriously? He somehow had chosen the wrong person. She was only a young teen and had never even had relations with… Continue reading What If Mary Had Said No?

Your Heart

Busy. So very busy. Overwhelmed. Keeping up. Appearances. Tasks and “to do”s. He came into our world quietly. This birth was the most extravagant act of love in all of creation.Like all babies, pushing his way into the middle of people, some who would love, some who would hate. Some who would worship and adore,… Continue reading Your Heart

You know, like when you have read verses many times and have all this head knowledge and then one day, just like that, God uses a metaphorical 2x4 to whop you and get your attention?

Our Senses Are A Gift

Yesterday I was enjoying my beautiful yard, and all the different kinds and colors of plants, trees, bushes, and flowers. Just looking at them gives me a sense of peace. And when the bird sounds are added, my meditative mood increases. (Except for the crows. I'm still trying to love the crows.)  And while I… Continue reading Our Senses Are A Gift

Surrender? For real?

“Laying down your life in tender surrender before the Lord will bring life, prosperity, and honor as your reward.” Proverbs 22:4 I’ve been praying that God will give me a long life filled with health and abundance in all things. I feel the responsibility toward my dependent children very deeply. I read this Proverb today. So,… Continue reading Surrender? For real?
