Read MoreThe 15 Names of Jesus – Given in the Book of John
When my children were babies, I used to rock them and sing Jesus Loves Me, Jesus Loves the Little Children and There’s Just Something About that Name…in that order. That final song was not only soothing to my babies but to me as well and so I would find myself singing it over and over and over. Sometimes I fell asleep in the rocking chair with my baby in my arms, humming that song. If you have never heard it before (it’s an oldie) here’s the lyrics: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there’s just something about that name. Master, Savior, Jesus, like the […]
Read MoreHolding On To Your Faith in the Midst of Doubts
Doubt is the unique problem of a believer. We have to believe in something, in order to doubt it. So usually in the New Testament when it focuses on doubt, it is referencing believers. Within the context of faith, doubt may arise when our burdens feel too heavy to lift. Doubt may arise when expectations go unmet or when there seems to be no answer to a challenging situation. Doubt may arise when we feel lonely, rejected or depressed or when we face struggle after struggle, with no end in sight. Doubt may arise when we are walking with […]

Read MoreHow to Listen to the Voice of God
Today we are going to take a closer look at John chapter 10. This is a familiar and fundamental chapter – but it is also deep and profound. Let’s dig in together! Jesus said: The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. (John 10:3-4) Jesus said of His sheep: They hear his voice (v3) They know his voice (v4) They listen to his voice (v16) In the book of John, […]

Read MoreOvercoming the Shame of Broken Relationships
Shame causes us to hide. Shame began in the Garden of Eden. After Adam and Eve sinned —they hid from God. They went from feeling safe and secure to feeling over exposed and so they hid. Shame is an unpleasant self-conscious emotion typically associated with a negative evaluation of the self, withdrawal motivations, and feelings of distress, exposure, mistrust, powerlessness, and worthlessness. (Wikipeidia) In today’s video, I share about a time in my life when I did some “hiding”. It was only after I uploaded the video to youtube – that I realized I left out an important detail. So please […]

Cue the Confetti! It’s time to begin!!! I am so excited to begin the Book of John with you! {If you don’t have your Journal yet – it’s available on Amazon for just $8.09.} Let’s Dive In & Take a Look at the Background of John John is the fourth gospel and it is unlike the previous three gospels. It is unique! – Matthew, Mark and Luke focus on what Jesus taught and did but the book of John focuses on who Jesus is. – While the book of Luke shows Jesus in his humanity as the “Son of Man,” the book of John shows […]

Read MoreMaking Your Home a Haven: Week 4 – Fasting
Welcome back to Week 4 of the Making Your Home a Haven Series! This is our final week! And this week is not an easy one. While fasting is sweet to the soul, it does have unpleasant side effects. It requires discipline but I can guarantee you the blessings –far surpass the temporary pain. This week’s Spiritual Focus is Fasting and Solitude. Last November my heart was heavy going into the holiday season and so I chose a passage of scripture from Psalms and I began meditating on it every morning. Alongside my meditation, I decided to also fast my morning […]
Read MoreMaking Your Home a Haven: Week 3 – Prayer
Welcome back to Week 3 of the Making Your Home a Haven Challenge! This week’s Spiritual Focus is Prayer. I was recently listening to a podcast where the man said that some Christians today have more of a “Cruise Ship” mentality than a “War Ship” mentality. What he meant was that some Christians seem to want to live their life trying to entertain themselves. Parents have become the “Fun Directors” of the family. But we cannot fulfill the great commission this way! Instead – we need to remember that we are at war against the enemy of our souls. 1 Peter […]
Read MoreMaking Your Home a Haven: Week 2 – Meditation
Welcome back to Week 2 of the Making Your Home a Haven Challenge! Keep your candles burning and your thankful heart going and let’s add to it! This week’s Spiritual Focus is Meditation. Some days a scheduled quiet time just can not happen. Emergencies, sicknesses, a busy season at work, or family members who need us, just simply make it impossible. It would be wrong for us to put pressure on ourselves to always create the “Pinterest Perfect” quiet time. Life just does not work that way. So what’s the solution when an extended time alone with the Lord is not […]
Read More10 Fun & Easy Ways to Practice Gratitude With Your Family
I remember having a talk with one of my children late at night and they told me they just wished they could experience God like I do. They couldn’t feel God’s love the way I seemed to and I did not know how to make God real to them in the moment. Unanswered prayer and discouragement from other things in life were flooding out all of the things that my child knew to be true of God. And in that moment the only answer I had was – “look at all we have to be thankful for.” Yes, there are […]
