No Looking Back
It doesn’t matter what is behind you as much as it matters who is beside you.” ~ Ellen ~“Laced with Grace“ As I stepped onto the ORU campus for the first time as a freshman, I felt a renewed hope for my life. Though my childhood wasn’t awful, it wasn’t something I looked back on…
One Hat at a Time!
“…whatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31 What everyday things do you find purpose in? Boy this was a convicting one for me because I am so guilty of not doing all things to the glory of God. Though I am learning about how to invite God’s glory…
Practicing What I Preach
Today I’m having a chance to practice what I preach. After getting lost in cyberspace this morning before doing my devotion, I decided to take my computer in the living room and journal about the Bible study I’ve been going through. It really helps me to grasp the concepts when I blog about what I’ve…
Friday the 13th
My husband just informed me that it was Friday the 13th. Now I’m not supersticious, and I know that “greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world,”but I can’t help but think someone out there was trying to wreck havoc in our lives today. Nothing major just…My computer caught…
Do Not Worry
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Mt 6:25 My grandma was a worrier. My mom is a worrier. I’m a worrier, and unfortunately…
Experiencing God in Parenting
As I’ve been Experiencing Christ Within, I’ve also been challenged in my parenting. A while ago God led me from my restrictive, by-the-book parenting to a more Grace based parenting. It wasn’t an easy switch, and I still struggle with doling out consequences as my first reaction to parenting. But I’ve learned over the last…
Patience!
It’s funny that you had to wait for this post entitled patience! I’ve been really busy right now in my life, but those details will have to wait for another post. Patience! That’s one of the words God spoke to me at ACFW this year. And no word is more dreaded to a choleric then…
Humble
Proverb 29:23 “A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.” Humble is not a word I’d use to describe myself. Confident, insecure, teachable, stubborn, though contradictory at times, they better describe the real me. I admire the humble in spirit. Many great men of the Bible were humble…
Pride! Can You Relate?
1 John 2:16, 17 “For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”…
Why?
I think the most dreaded word in the English language is the word WHY? Why you ask? Well, most of our unanswered questions from God start with the word why. Go ahead, take a moment to ask your own why question of God. So, did you get an answer? Maybe you did, but chances are…
