Christmas isn’t an easy or exciting time for everyone. Some years may feel more exciting than others. Personally, Christmas is my favorite holiday, but this year has been hard. My mind has been flooded with memories and the realization that my daddy won’t be here. I am reminded of all the things that he isn’t… Continue reading The Hope of Christmas

Mary, Blessed Among Women
Mary was referred to as blessed among women. During the Christmas season, I enjoy digging deeper into the announcement of Jesus’ birth. Mary and Elisabeth are some of the women I admire most. Their relationship and entire testimony just seem incredibly sweet. Their interactions and Mary’s thoughts remind us they were human like we are. … Continue reading Mary, Blessed Among Women

Do You See Christ?
In Matthew chapter 2 we see the wise men searching for Jesus. They come to the palace, where you’d expect a king to be, and they find Herod. He feels threatened by the news of a new King in town.

Throughout Scripture we see His life and ministry,… Continue reading What Will You Do With Jesus?

She would be the vessel God would use to bring the Promised Messiah into the world. As a teenage girl, still a virgin,… Continue reading Be it Unto Me, According to Thy Word

That’s just the godly wisdom and nature she had about her. Luke 1:5 starts the account of Elisabeth and her… Continue reading The Encouragement of Elisabeth
