Argumentative or Persuasive?
In our culture, everyone has a positive twist to every negative characteristic. Memes show us that being stubborn is really just standing our ground and that being argumentative is just being persuasive. They seem easy to believe. Why shouldn’t we look at things positively? After all, is it so bad to stand your ground or… Continue reading Argumentative or Persuasive?
Hysterectomy Journey Update 3
6 weeks and 4 days. Overall my recovery is going well! My lasat update was at 17 days post-op. Since then, things got pretty crazy for a few days. At 20 days, I had a terrible headache that I couldn’t get to go away. It kept intensifying, and early the following day, I threw up.… Continue reading Hysterectomy Journey Update 3
But Will You Let Him?
As wives, we have this idea that submission to our husbands means we lose who we are. Biblically, that is not true. Submission is really just saying yes to God, by saying yea to our husbands and letting them have the final say. It is letting them walk out the authority and responsibility God has… Continue reading But Will You Let Him?
Birthday Reflections
Today, I turn 30. The chapter of my 20’s has closed. The Lord allowed many firsts, lasts, experiences, blessings, and accomplishments in my 20’s. I am blessed beyond measure! Many of you know the hymn “Count Your Many Blessings.” One line in there says to name your blessings one by one. Have you done that… Continue reading Birthday Reflections
King Hezekiah
The account of King Hezekiah that I’d like to share comes from 2 Kings, chapters 18-20. Up to this point, Judah has had its share of wicked kings. There have been some that did recognize the Lord, but not to the extent they should have. Then we have Hezekiah. Chapter 18, verse 3, tells us… Continue reading King Hezekiah

Will You Prove Him?
What are you holding on to? What are you afraid to give to God? What is He calling you to trust Him with? Over and over in Scripture, we are given accounts of people being asked to do things that seem humanly impossible, all with the same result: finding God faithful. One account that sticks… Continue reading Will You Prove Him?
Personal Update: Post Surgery
It is 1/29/23. I am 3 days post-op from having a hysterectomy and oophorectomy. (1/26/23) Everything was textbook perfect during the surgery. Praise the Lord! I was able to return home about 10 hours after the surgery was over.

What is Your Pride Preventing?
In Luke chapter 18 verses 9-14 give us an example of pride. The Pharisee was so secure in his religious acts. He was sure that his own works were enough to make him right with God. In contrast we see the humility of the publican. He didn’t stand as close to the altar, he didn’t… Continue reading What is Your Pride Preventing?
