As city dwellers my husband and I often enjoy driving the country roads, taking in the beauty of farmlands stretching as far as the eye could see. On one of those trips, I took special note of the corn fields arranged properly row by row; so tall and swaying in the wind. And it seemed, ready to be harvested. As we drove by, I imagined enjoying the taste of this freshly picked corn, and for the first time I glimpsed an understanding of the wonderful provision of our God fo

The hand that rocks the cradle makes the house a home The loving kindness of a mother keeps the family growing Mom rises early in the morning and bathes her day in prayer She talks to God about her family placing them in His care She communicates her love in a thousand different ways When there's a need, she shows up, whether it’s night or day Mama seasons life with love and gives so much of herself God put in her the best of him and made her unlike anyone else When cha

Joshua is instantly responsible for taking the children of Israel into the promised land.

As we spend more time together to develop authentic friendships and relationships with one another, we become aware of, and begin to see each other’s quirks, character flaws, shortcomings and even sins. It then becomes easy for us to discuss something we find irritating about one of our friends with another person in our circle. These may be flaws which bug us and about which we feel a bit superior because we don’t possess those specific attitudes or failings. We may even dis

I was sitting inside a coffee shop with my husband on a bright summer day last year, when glancing out the window I noticed some very small birds being fed by someone in a nearby vehicle...

This story begins with loss and ends in hope. It shows us that God has his hands in what seems to the setbacks in our lives. But if we persevere in our faithfulness

Doubt sees the obstacles Faith sees the way. Doubt sees the darkest night Faith sees the day. Doubt dreads to take a step Faith soars on high. Doubt questions, “who will believe” Faith says, “I” Now faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about we do not see (Hebrews 11:1) What resonated the most with you as you read this? I'd love to hear from you - just type your thoughts below

It seems that the sight of the grave clothes and the empty tomb had awakened some sort of fledgling belief in the disciples that they couldn't define. They find themselves somewhere between hope and faith

This weekend we commemorate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus. We attend church services and listen to messages we’re already so familiar with. Then we go home for the traditional family meal

Today, on Good Friday, I find myself thinking about so many aspects of the story of Jesus’ death as outlined in the bible, and I’m unable to get past the idea of “Good Friday”.

So often, when thinking about Martha and Mary of Bethany, we tend to identify with one or the other. We see Martha as the one who is more disciplined and gets things done, and we think of her as less spiritual than Mary who sits at Jesus' feet to learn all she can about him. But I propose that the lives of these two ladies are a little more nuanced than that.

I knelt to pray when day was done And prayed, O Lord, bless everyone, Lift from each saddened heart the pain And let the sick be well again

Therefore Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, so that we may die with Him". (John 11:16) This verse has made an indelible impression on me!

As women there are many unhealthy pressures and expectations placed on us by our society, our family, our friends, and by our very own selves. We're taught that we should maintain a certain size; that we should be more assertive or less forceful with our opinions; that we should be more educated; that should be more successful; that we should be better mothers; and the list goes on and on.

2025 was a life-altering year for me. Falling on black ice and shattering my left femur meant I would be in the hospital for 3 months, and I would no longer be able to do many of the activities I did prior to my fall. These three long months in the hospital were punctuated by surgery, excruciating pain,
