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 […]

In last week’s video, I challenged us to get uncomfortable and live outside of our comfort zone. This week I want to go the opposite way and talk about — Finding Comfort. Life is just plain hard for all of us and we all need comfort sometimes. What comforts you? Maybe a bowl of ice cream, chicken noodle soup, a bubble bath and a cozy soft blanket or maybe it’s a long talk with a friend that ends with a hug. Just this past week I made one of my favorite comfort foods – Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese. Well, today […]
