Many Aspire, Few Attain

This title comes from a message spoken by Walt Henrichsen. I listened to it this past week to remind myself that the trials God has allowed have two potential outcomes: 1) To take me out of the Christian race - to sit on the self and be ineffective for Jesus OR 2) To produce character, … Continue reading Many Aspire, Few Attain →

With My Whole Desire

Hi sisters, I used to joke about how “boring” I thought the book of Chronicles was. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the 10 chapters of genealogies, or the fact it repeats earlier stories in the Bible. But this past time through it, I was soaking up every word! Many of the stories were exactly … Continue reading With My Whole Desire →

The Physician’s Treatment

Hi sisters, Ever come to a chapter in the Bible you've read and heard so many times that you want to skip it thinking, "Yeah, I know this already"? That was me when I opened to Matthew chapter 6 a few weeks ago. I saw that the content was teachings on prayer, giving, anxiety, etc. … Continue reading The Physician’s Treatment →

We make an … Continue reading New Year Upgrade? →

Justice Dawning

I remember it like it was yesterday; a memory seared in my mind. I sat drinking my coffee and I couldn’t believe I had the privilege of following this woman who sat in front of me. Someone who had risked it all to obey Jesus. Months earlier.... I quit my awesome job as a teacher … Continue reading Justice Dawning →

The Cornerstone

Hi sisters, My quiet times have been building on my last post about contributing to "God's house." My time in God's Word this morning was a good reminder of who provides the Template. It came from Zechariah and I Corinthians. "for the LORD of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah. . . … Continue reading The Cornerstone →

God’s House

Hi Sisters, What purposes are there for a house? Probably the main purpose for a house is a place to dwell/reside. So it is with God. When God brought His people out of Egypt, He gave instructions for building the tabernacle, His dwelling: "There I will meet with the people of Israel, and it shall … Continue reading God’s House →
