Pause, Ponder, Pray
We can't guarantee that a positive response will always turn out for our best; however, we can guarantee that responding positively to our husband, children and others is much better than the alternative. Read More
Walking by the Spirit
Remember that living and walking by the Spirit is being under His constant guidance and influence and following Him step by step. We must follow Him constantly and obey His direction. When we obey the Holy Spirit we are crucifying the flesh-– starving it! Read More
Detours
God’s timing says, “Trust Me” when I want a resolution.
God’s timing says, “Wait on Me” when I think I need “it” immediately.
God’s timing says, “Have Faith” when I grow weary.
God’s timing is rarely our timing.
He has a plan.
His plan is perfect.
His plan involves our best for His glory. So we must trust Him with the detours in our lives. Read More

To Love Like Christ
Sometimes it can be difficult to express love to others. I’m talking about people we have to interact with even though at times, we would rather not. And let’s be honest here, for some that would be extended family, co-workers, people in the church, or at times, family inside your home. It’s just hard sometimes-because of weariness, a conflict or they might have a personality that is similar to sandpaper. 😉 Read More
Making a House a Home
“It isn’t the ‘things’ that make a house a home; it is the love, joy, peace, and overall atmosphere that truly indicates the Lord’s presence in our homes and in our lives.” Lori Merrill, Called to be a Keeper Read More
Keeping God a Priority
Last fall I found myself struggling to keep God as my priority. I didn’t have the passion of pursuit that I wanted and needed. When this happens, and it does more often than I would like, then I have to be very intentional to turn things around.
