I keep a Bible Study and Prayer notebook. Since I’m a note taker, it’s the perfect place to store those notes from sermons, workshops, and books. As I read Scripture, I jot down verses that strike me, how it applies to me or life in general, and prayers it leads me to. Yesterday, I was [...]

Have you ever experienced rereading a well known passage in Scripture (almost with boredom because you know it so well) when, suddenly, words hit you differently? Nothing’s new. Nothing’s changed. God just shined His light on His Word touching your heart in a whole new way. That just happened to me. God used some “old” [...]

“And he said, ‘Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent [...]

I wanted to share with you the blessing I just received in the hopes it blesses you too. See, on Sunday, I experienced God’s Word washing over my heart bringing some healing I didn’t know I still needed. Years of worry and stress had caused more damage than I realized. It was the words of [...]

“The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion,” (New International Version, Proverbs 28:1). Picture with me the scared little man hiding in the shadows. He crouches down, eyes wide, seeing every movement around him. He fears the results (real and imagined) of his bad choices seeking their payment. [...]

Is your heart aching to stay home with your child so that you can be the one to meet their needs, but you can’t imagine being able to afford it? Or, do you stay home and carry heavy financial burdens because of your lack of income? Paying for medical bills seems never ending. Wouldn’t it [...]

I received my Family Christian Stores sales event flier this week in the mail. I was enjoying skimming the titles and reading the little blurbs about the books that caught my eye when I stumbled upon the title “The Christian Atheist” by Craig Groeschel. Maybe you’ve already read this book. If you have I’d love [...]

Today, we’re going to time to look at the dangers our children face when they embrace their labels or disease. We’ll also find that we face the same dangers. I know that I’m taking the chance of really stepping on some toes, but please remember that I know these dangers because I’ve experienced them. This [...]

Welcome back to our second day of talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of labels! Most adults do not allow kids to call each other names. We would see it as bad behavior and correct it, right? If we believe names like “Fatso”, “Shrimp”, and “Four-Eyes” (sorry, I know those are actually [...]

I know I’m taking the chance of hitting some nerves with this topic, but I hope you’ll give me the opportunity to share how I feel. See, I’m a label fighter. I love being a Christian homeschooling mom, but people will take those titles and try to determine who I am. They think I should [...]
