The 15 Names of Jesus – Given in the Book of John

February 10, 2019 by Courtney 6 Comments

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 […]

Holding On To Your Faith in the Midst of Doubts

February 7, 2019 by Courtney 12 Comments

  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 […]

How to Listen to the Voice of God

January 24, 2019 by Courtney 11 Comments

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, […]

Overcoming the Shame of Broken Relationships

January 17, 2019 by Courtney 33 Comments

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 […]

Making Your Home a Haven: Week 4 – Fasting

November 25, 2018 by Courtney 13 Comments

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 […]

Making Your Home a Haven: Week 3 – Prayer

November 18, 2018 by Courtney 32 Comments

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 […]

Making Your Home a Haven: Week 2 – Meditation

November 11, 2018 by Courtney 32 Comments

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 […]

10 Fun & Easy Ways to Practice Gratitude With Your Family

November 7, 2018 by Courtney 13 Comments

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 […]

God Uses Our Weaknesses

October 23, 2018 by Courtney 3 Comments

Today we have a guest – my dear friend Ruth Schwenk from TheBetterMom.com.  She writes: There are plenty of opportunities for a mom to feel weak. -When we haven’t managed to hop into the shower—and it’s time to make dinner. -When we arrive late for Bible study . . . with no shoes for the toddler. -When we see on Facebook another mom’s cupcakes for her child’s birthday party. -When we end the day by counting how many balls we dropped. For the longest time, I resisted my weakness. After all, who is proud of not having everything figured out? […]
