Did your life ever take a turn that you didn’t expect? Mine did! Unexpected life events may leave you feeling destroyed and in need of rebuilding. The good news? God is a builder! He’s our Creator and He builds nations and peoples but He’s also able to re-build you after a trying experience. Here are [...]
This year, I’ve heard multiple things that blew my mind in regard to the Nativity story! We never believed there were only 3 wise men. They traveled a very long way. They were well to do. It was a dangerous journey–robbers, terrain, etc. They probably brought many servants with them and who’s to say there [...]
Psalm 138:3 As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.
When Lee and James were gone, we chatted on the phone a lot. One night, they said they’d call me when Lee parked the truck for the evening. That was about 6:30 p.m. I continued working on projects and watching TV. Around 10:00, I realized they never called. I picked up the phone and called–no [...]
Last night at church, we started the Truth Project. My sister in law’s mom participated in it last year and just loved it! So, I decided to sign up. The first session was good. One thing I was touched by was a video showing an example of faith. A little boy on the diving board [...]
Earlier this year, I saw on Thomas Nelson’s Book Sneeze program an application for tickets to Women of Faith. I’ve seen it before and paid it very little attention.

I received a free copy of Encouragement for Homeschool Moms in exchange for a review. Let me tell you I NEEDED this devotional. Last year was rough for us–really rough! My sweet little boy is a go getter and what they called “strong willed”. Then on top of it Dad came home–after a 6 year [...]
I’ve been feeling weary lately. My weary isn’t so much body tired, but just “trial tired”. The other day I began singing “How Great Thou Art” and remembered this story and hope it encourages you–just like remembering it encouraged me! I attended college in the northern US. I’ve mentioned my college days before and I [...]
Once a year, my dad asked for a piano lesson. So, of course I had to drop everything and go to the piano with him. I’d pull out the primer books and set them in front of him. “NO! Not that stuff!” imagine a tone of complete derision. “I want you to teach me [...]
