Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Grief can be a tricky thing. It’s unpredictable and comes in waves.

Jireh: The Lord Who Provides
26“If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters? 27“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 28“But if God so clothes the grass in the field, whichContinue reading “Jireh: The Lord Who Provides”
After the Storm
Last week, I had the opportunity to hit the road with my husband and 2 youngest children to vacation in Florida. We were met by several thunderstorms on the way there.

The Power of Community
I will be the first to admit. Sometimes, I do NOT like people. They are messy and chaotic. They can be fickle and wishy-washy. They can even be too much at times.

The Goodness of God
Last week, I was blessed to be able to spend a few days by the ocean. While sitting on the beach, I looked out at the ocean. I could only see the shore where the water met the land but I could not see where it ended. All I could see was its vastness andContinue reading “The Goodness of God”
God’s Amazing Grace
What comes to mind when you hear the word grace? What do you envision? How do you think it feels to receive grace? How do you think it feels to extend grace to others? Recently, these very thoughts flooded my mind. The word “grace” in biblical parlance can, like forgiveness, repentance, regeneration, and salvation, meanContinue reading “God’s Amazing Grace”
The Evidence
This past weekend, I heard a song called,” Evidence”, by Josh Baldwin for the first time. It was so beautiful. The first part of the song says, “All throughout my history. Your faithfulness has walked beside me. The winter storms made way for spring. In every season, from where I’m standing I see the evidenceContinue reading “The Evidence”
