One late night on the way home from Church, Jacob told Daniel to turn off his DS.  I was preparing myself for an argument, (Daniel loves his video games) but I was shocked when he agreed, but didn’t think anything else about it. Jacob and I continued our conversation. Bella was asleep in her car seat, and […]

I love to read Psalms.  Especially when I’m  reading and I’m reminded of worship songs.  Did you know that a lot of our songs we sing in Church is taken directly from Psalms? Sometimes word for word? There is a song that pops in my head as I read our Scriptures for today.  Verse 3-6 says: “Who may […]

Today’s Psalm is one that is probably the most famous in the Book of Psalms.  If you were anything like me, it’s the first chapter that you had to learn to memorize in Sunday school: The Lord is my Shepherd.  And if you were like me, you probably visualized a man herding sheep, protecting the […]

This morning as I read our chapter today, I’m reminded of a song. That can happen all through the book of Psalms. We sing many of those worship songs in Church. But this morning the song that I’m talking about goes absolutely perfect with this chapter. It’s about the cross. In our chapter today, David […]

This morning, after reading this chapter I was at a loss of words.  I know, it doesn’t happen very often, me not having anything to say.  For those who have not read the whole chapter yet, it is talking about an assurance of God’s blessing on the king.  But as I was praying, God reminded […]

The other day I was listening to a conversation that Daniel and one of his friends were having in the car. They were laughing and talking about your typical little boy things; playing video games, ect. I was half listening, half tuning them out, but my ears perked up when they started talking about McDonald’s. […]

Have you ever known anyone who talks the talk, but once you get to know them, they are completely different from what you thought?  One thing that Jacob and I want when we meet a new teen, is for them to be themselves.  We would rather them be themselves than act they way they think we […]

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 […]
