Life is strange. And, yes, that is how I’m beginning my blog post.

“All within us cries for life and permanence, and everything around us reminds us of mortality and change” A.W. Tozer
Last night, my dad had my family come together for a time just to re-count God’s blessings in 2009, and to go over some [...]

Dear God,
It was great to talk to you the other day, about that stuff that was confusing me. I wish you were that clear all the time…and I didn’t have to just sit around and wait for you to say something for so long. I mean, there are so many other things I could be [...]

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” ~ Matthew 5:6
This is just going to be a short post. (That’s unusual, I know…) My church has just started doing a study through the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Tonight we just focused in on the [...]

I was inspired to write this post by a post someone else wrote a while ago about what inspires them, and what points their eyes to God and the gospel.

Christa Taylor from the Empowered Traditionalist blog, and the Christa-Taylor modest clothing store asked me to do a post for the ET blog last week about being a sister.  I am going to let you read the un-edited version here…and then if you want to, you can check out her blog and see how it [...]

This New Year of 2009, I am resolved:

To walk blamelessly and do what is right - for a good name is better than gold (Ps. 15:2)
To use my tongue for blessing and encouraging - not cursing or bringing people down/ to be more careful in what I say (Ps. 15:3)
To take up no reproach against [...]

“Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.” - Jeremiah 15:16

I’ve been reading through Jeremiah in the Bible recently, as well as Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, by Donald S. Whitney…and I [...]
