Exhausted Faith and Hope Found in A Red Sea Revival

post image

I woke up that morning, and suddenly the thing I had been fighting for all those months before – just wasn’t important. My usual, “Thank you, God for the day you have given,” before my feet hit the ground prayer, just wasn’t there. My heart was heavy, and my mind distracted. Life at this pointRead more

A faithful foundation

There is a childhood song that many of us know, it says, ‘The wise man built his house upon the rock…the foolish man built his house upon the sand…The rains came down, and the floods came up, and the house on the sand went SPLAT’. This is a fun song to sing. In our SundayRead more

Facing the giant

Some of the sweetest moments in life happen in the heat of a trial or struggle. They appear during a time when you feel as those that looked upon David and said, he is too small, what can a boy do?  It is in these moments that God so lovingly gives us a glimpse ofRead more

He is a buckler

Psalms 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Is it just me…or do you read that verse and experience a substantial swell in confidence? Does it energize you in a way that makes you feel as thoughRead more

A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid…

   TRUTH– we all have sin in our lives. Romans 3:23 affirms this, ‘For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,’ With that sting reminder telling us we are not perfect, we find hope when we read Acts 3:19 ‘Repent then, and turn to God, so that your sins may beRead more

What’s Next?

Scriptures: , Ecclesiastes 9:10 ,Luke 16:10 ,Galatians 6:9 What’s next? A question that is always close to the front of my mind, and a question that I fear may drive my incredibly patient husband to the verge of insanity every time I think to ask it. A question that I know I am not aloneRead more

Imperfection used for Perfection

Scripture: Genesis 12 Genesis 18 You know what I love most about God’s Word? I love that it is full of imperfect people. Imperfect people much like you and me. Imperfect people whom He used to bring about His perfect plan. I find this encouraging when I think of my love for Him and acknowledgeRead more
