John 2:5 “His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” This is at Cana of Galilee when the wedding feast Jesus was attending ran out of wine. I am not going to get into the debate of wine versus juice, nor the debate of Christians drinking alcohol. Take that to… Continue reading The Blessings of Obedience

Thoughts from Colossians 1
Wow. There is just so much in here! I love how God’s Word comes to life right where we are! This chapter gives instruction and encouragement. Let’s start with the introduction we find here.

Is Anything Too Small?
We often say, “Is there anything too big (or hard) for God?” We know the answer is “No.” Nothing is greater than our God and this truth brings us much comfort and encouragement. However, I feel like we never think of the opposite. Is anything too small for God? Things we don’t think are significant. … Continue reading Is Anything Too Small?
For the Stay at Home Mama
I see you, mama. The same routine day after day. Constant cleaning, sibling fights, and endless requests. I mean honestly. How many snacks can these kids possibly want in a day?! Has today been hard?

What are You Building With?
If you are a born-again child of God, you already have a firm foundation: the Lord Jesus Christ. How you build from there is up to you. 1 Corinthians 3:12-15, “Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day… Continue reading What are You Building With?
Respect in Marriage: Part One
I feel like there needs to be a huge PSA at the wedding that says: You are married. Stop living as if you are still single. Your finances, your friends, and your schedule are no longer yours alone. You are on the same side. You two are now one. There is nothing you will do… Continue reading Respect in Marriage: Part One
Having Basic Goodwill For Your Spouse
Goodwill is defined as “friendly, helpful, or cooperative feelings or attitude” Philippians 2:3 reminds us, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” Taking a moment to think that maybe your spouse had a bad day, forgot, or had something else on their… Continue reading Having Basic Goodwill For Your Spouse
