10 Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction. 11 For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers and sisters…
HALF STEPS TO HOLINESS
One Year
One Year. Today marks one year since I had surgery to remove a tumor from my spine. I have not written a blog since before my surgery. I didn’t really know where to start or what to say, but since today makes one year, it seems like a good time to start again.
Every year is full of moments to…
Trust the process
I started reading through the book of Job this week. A lot of it is resonating with me right now. I was raised in the church, I gave my life to Christ when I was 14, I went to Bible College, I’ve always sought after God. I want to please Him. Physically speaking, I’ve always been fairly healthy, I r…
Knowledge, Control < Wisdom, Surrender
Most anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a bit of a Bible nerd. I enjoy studying God's Word, I studied Bible in college and study it now in seminary. And those closest to me (a/k/a my husband and kids) also know I'm a bit of a control freak.
One thing I'm learning since finding out about this mas…
Horses, zebras and a Mighty God
“So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Colossians 3:1

“You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.” Psalm 139:2
Since October 2021 I’ve been having some pain in my right hip. I went through cortisone shots, physical therapy, even bought a new mattress. I might get some relief, b…
Say it with Love...
My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which…
Victory 2020?!?!
I’m not big on having a word or a verse for the year. I never pray for one or decide on one and would even go so far to say that I thought they were silly, but last year God gave me one. That word was Victory. Little did I, nor anyone, know what 2020 would hold and it certainly didn’t look lik…
Waiting...
In life sometimes we have to wait... wait for an opportunity, wait for a job, wait for a vacation, wait for a baby, wait... wait... wait... and now we find ourselves waiting for a pandemic to end and waiting for election results. Waiting is not something I do well, but something God taught me is …
Faith vs politics
I didn’t post this before the election, because I just didn’t feel the words said all I wanted to say. I don’t want to forget this though, so I’m posting now as a reminder. A reminder to pray. A reminder not to worry. A reminder that politics and policy are not an idol to hold in high esteem, but a …
