Have you ever been going through something and you don’t think that you can make it a minute longer? You ask God for strength and He gives it to you.  You go from not being able to go a minute longer to a few minutes, to hours, days, and then the next thing you know, […]

Last night Bella went to bed about the same time she does every night.  But when Jacob and I went to bed later, she woke up.  Jacob was already asleep, and I was tired and didn’t want to get back up with her, so I just put her in our bed.  She cuddled up next to me, […]

Why do we make it so hard to give 100% of our selves to God?  What is it about us as humans that we just can’t seem to let go of our control?  Now I’m not saying the Christian walk is easy, because I would be lying.  We all struggle with something, we all have […]

I’ve never been one of those people who has to have my house perfect all the time.  I hate to clean, I really do.  Washing dishes is worse. (Oh please Lord, let me have a dishwasher in the new house!)  I know people who freak out if the house is out-of-order even for a minute, […]

We have problems and […]

The scripture is in Romans, and it lists several things that cannot separate you from God’s love.  One of those were persecution.  We asked them a question.  If nothing can stop God’s love for you, then why […]

Have you ever wished you could just pause your life?  Hit the pause button and get everything that you need to accomplish done?  Every to do list, every household project done, everything that make your life busy, and after you have got yourself caught up, hit play and actually enjoy your life? We are always […]

Have you ever just wanted to pack up and runaway?  The stress of life, kids, family, jobs, anything and everything pressing in on you demanding your time and attention all at once.  Problems start happening, people start trying to discourage you, enemies come at you that you didn’t even know you had.  The only thing […]

Praise music changes everything.  It changes your mood, it changes the atmosphere of your house, your car, anywhere that you are it changes.  If your upset and angry, put on your favorite worship CD, and before long you are not angry anymore. You can not stay mad listening to worship music.  Don’t believe me?  Try […]
