Am I Content with my Daily Bread?

  “And the Lord said to Moses, “I have heard the grumbling of the people of Israel.  Say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread.  Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’ “In the evening quail came up and covered [...]

The Not-So-Obvious

Thanksgiving is over, and the Christmas decorations are now up in our house.  Our Thanksgiving went great! It would seem appropriate I think to write what I’m thankful for, being that this is kind of my Thanksgiving post (though a bit late).  But I was thinking… what about the things that aren’t so obvious?   It’s easy for me to be thankful [...]

Is God Really In Control?

Storms can be quite amazing… but many people have extreme fears when it comes to them.   My mom was one who used to have an extreme phobia when it came to storms, and it wasn’t until soon after she became a Christian when she heard her pastor ask the thought provoking question, “Who do you think is in charge [...]

10 Tips to Wake Up Early

As you may already know - I am a “night owl”.  Getting up early is NOT easy for me.  Of course, I always fall in and out of the patterns of sleeping in and waking up early, but I know that once I do wake up early – I love it!  I enjoy those early hours of uninterrupted time, [...]

A Night Owl’s Conversion

  I admire all of you ”early birds” out there; those who can rise early in the morning as a natural occurence.  You have the opportunity to accomplish the things that may otherwise be rushed or forgotten by the “night owl”.  As I have heard, your morning hours, if spent wisely, can be the most productive time in your whole day.  [...]

Last Memories

Each and everyday we are making memories in our home.  The encouraging comment, the hug of appreciation, the time we spend to help and build each other up; those small acts of love will be forever remembered.   It is in these small ways we are making an impact –  especially in our family.   We have the [...]

Battle with the Coffee Mug

There I was… Loading the dishwasher this evening… I was just going about my business, loading, loading, loading… When I came to… The coffee mug. I proceeded to carry on with my duty, as I began to seperate the cup from it’s lid. You see, you have to be careful when pulling the lid from the cup [...]

Saturday Psalm and Praise: Everyday

How comforting it is, to know that whenever we are going through tough times, trials, tribulations, the Lord is with us and at work in us.  He is with us everyday, every moment, with us even in those times of uncertainty, even when we don’t feel Him there.  Though we may not understand why God allows certain things happen  – we do [...]

Blessed Sisterhood

May this poem speak to you as it has spoken to me.  I think it truly sums up what a sister should be and what a blessing from God being a sister truly is…  Being the oldest of four siblings (and not to mention being one with little patience ) I have to constantly remind myself to set [...]

Being Content

Earlier today, I was reading out of the book of Hebrews, and came across this verse, Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have.  – Hebrews 13:5 How often I have to remind myself of this!  There are times, where my mind will start to wander, and [...]

Do Hard Things

                                                                             Here is the official book description: The next generation stands on the brink of a “rebelution.” With over 16 million hits to their website TheRebelution.com, Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge in a growing movement of Christian young people who are rebelling against the low expectations of their culture by choosing [...]

LIFE IS SHORT

Have you ever thought about how short life is?  We shop at the Rainbow Grocery store.  The people who work there are so friendly!  There’s one guy in particular we got to know very well, named Chris.  He seemed to be there every time we went, which was quite often since we swung by there on our [...]

Spiritual Disciplines

Have you ever had times, where you’ve felt distant from the Lord, but then have had other times, were you feel very close to Him?  Have you always wanted to have that “fire,” that “passion” for Christ continually, but you find that it sometimes seems to just fade away? Do you experience times, that you [...]

What Movies are We Watching?

How do we as Christians wisely evaluate the movies we watch?  This can definitely be a struggle for many, including myself.      When we look at a movie, what standards, or who’s standards are we basing the decisions we make, whether to watch the movie or not?  When we were younger, my mom told us a [...]

Shopping for Modest Clothing

Sometimes shopping for clothes can be difficult, especially when shopping for swimwear and summer clothes.  The shorts keep getting shorter, along with the shirts, not only do they “creep up”, but they also can be so revealing!  I’ve also had such a struggle finding somewhat conservative swimwear.   We finally found some, but had to modify it slightly with [...]

Sunday Ads

One sin I battle every Sunday, is looking through those Sunday ads!  I find that when I look through them, I start to “need” stuff I didn’t really need before.  And I think the “sin” part of it is the “covetousness,” the “desire to want what I don’t have.” I know we all probably struggle with [...]
