Navigating Each Season

To Everything There is a Season Over the last year, I visited the ocean on several occasions and it was very surprising how very different it was depending on the day! Somedays, it was perfectly calm and gentle, a picture of perfect tranquility. Other times, the water was so rough and wavy that I stood in awe at its power as I watched it crash against the sand. As I reflected on the various patterns and fluctuations of the ocean recently, I began to think about how similar our life can be to an ocean. Sometimes, it seems in life that everything is calm and in order and just perfect! It's pea ..read more

Take Up Your Cross

Take Up Your Cross I s anything more universal than the cross? We see it world-wide: on churches and walls, as jewelry and tattoos, and even on foreheads. For Christians, it symbolizes salvation. Jesus knew the cross was in His future. He also told His disciples that to be His follower, they needed to “take up their cross.” What did Jesus mean when he said to “take up your cross?” The cross represents fulfilled prophecy. God revealed His plan to defeat Satan and give us salvation through Jesus Christ!  The cross in Jesus’ day symbolized the brutal and shameful death of a slave or crimin ..read more

The Secret Place The Secret Place Psalms 91:1 ¶ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Some years ago, during early morning prayer one day, I felt the sweet but strong presence of the Lord. I opened my bible to a random scripture in the book of P salms 27 , and there I began reading . Psalms 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.  Immediately upon reading this, a vision was befo ..read more

Thou He Slay Me yet will I trust in Him?

Though He Slay Me Yet Will I Trust Him? Certainly, there are some Pastor’s wives and ministers that may not admit to struggling with certain verses in the Bible, but I will confess that as I reflected on this passage, if I am honest, it goes against my fundamental human nature. Thou He Slay me; I’m still going to trust Him? This phrase of course is referring to Job’s declaration that when He lost everything, He professed that he would trust God. I would suggest that I am not the only 21 st century individual that has these thoughts. Let’s stop and ask ourselves if we honestly can profess t ..read more

Suit Up S UIT UP Each night as I prepare for the next day, I begin strategically to plan so that I can be ready for the challenges that lie before me the next morning. I know the kids are going to wake up and want to sleep just a “few” extra minutes so I prep as much as I can in advance. I routinely set out the girls’ clothes and begin pressing them. By getting all our attire out and in place, I convince myself that it will be easier to get up and get started the next morning. I’m sure many other mother’s reading this understand my thought process! I then make sure the girls have their comp ..read more

Is there a Season for Jesus?

Is there a Season for Jesus?  Jesus is the reason for the season! This phrase is commonly used during the holiday season. It appears on catchy artwork and banners everywhere.  Although, I wholeheartedly agree that He most certainly is the reason for the Christmas season, I rarely use this phrase.  Why, might you ask? Let’s just think about what this statement subconsciously implies. Perhaps, we should stop and reverse it in our minds. The phrase leads us to believe that this is the only time to think about Jesus and His birth. So, in a reverse sort of way, it implies that thinking ..read more

What doth hinder me?  What doth hinder me? No doubt over the past few days or even weeks as we have drawn to the close of another year, millions of people have begun to consider making a change in their current lifestyle. We often refer to it as a New Year Resolution. We resolve to change our eating habits, balance our lifestyle, spend more time with family, becoming more organized, give up bad habits, pray more and so on.  Certainly, this time of year we give more thought and attention to course corrections, as I would call them. However, from a Biblical perspective, scripture d ..read more

The Journey Vs. The Destination

The Journey Vs. The Destination What is it with the children of Israel? I’ve pondered that question many times wondering how one could possibly mess up what would seem to be the easy part. All they had to do was trust and have faith in God. God had orchestrated all the other details for them. Yet, after 400 years spent in captivity crying out for God to save them, they ended up wandering aimlessly for 40 more years while traveling to their promised land. While it’s easy to detail every failure they had, if we are honest with our own life, we see that we oftentimes we are our own worst enem ..read more
