An Unlikely Leader

She was an unlikely leader, but her love for Jesus moved her to action. From the beginning of her life, she was not what the world would call “strong.” Born a premature baby, she was an ordinary woman who never married and did not have a college education. For years,

Understanding the Fear of God

Think of someone who you fear. Now, think of someone who you esteem and respect. Do these happen to be the same person?  If you are like me, then the answer is no. For me, it is difficult to read the word “fear” in the Scripture without having an appropriate

Sharing All God Has Done for Me

Everyone has some area of their life where they struggle with sin. The struggle is real! Yes…even Christians!  We are often the ones who have an especially hard time with our struggle, because we are busy trying to hide it from our sisters in Christ. One of the many areas

Trust in the Lord

Trust in the LORD. …with all your heart, in all your ways… There was a time last year when our family went through the furnace. We live next to the war in Ukraine, and my husband has been deeply involved in humanitarian aid efforts. With that reality have come questions

All Nations

It is amazing, and somewhat confusing, why God would choose, seemingly, the most unlikely circumstances to pronounce some of the most significant blessings in Scripture. Abraham did not yet know God when he received his blessing, and Jesus was still on the cross when He proclaimed “It is finished”. The

Preaching Peace

My husband has a habit of leaving his cell phone in the car and missing important calls. During a recent trip, I actually was thankful for his forgetfulness because we avoided a call from an angry person. After our lunch stop, we sat in the front seat and shook our
