I love gardening. Every step of the process brings me joy. It’s pruning season now, and I enjoy cutting the dead parts off each shrub or flower because I can envision how it will make it stronger and more fruitful during the blooming period this year.
As a mom to five little ones, I have those days when everything seems to go smoothly, and hearts stay happy throughout the day, and yes, those little hugs and kisses seem almost endless. But I also have the days where I am just trying to get ahead and make a dent...
It is hard to have a heart of contentment and thankfulness for the gifts God has blessed us with when we are surrounded with messages telling us we need more and would be happier if we had more.
This old hymn has always had a special place in my heart, and when I read the history behind, it gave it new meaning. I hope you are as blessed as I was by reading it! Also, here’s a relaxing piano arrangement I just released: https://youtu.be/brtVj6vfZOU Be...
I can't tell you how many people reached out asking for the list I mentioned in last week's YouTube video, so I thought I would just post it here.
This Sunday no different, except that I found myself more stretched than normal. But something in our preacher's message grabbed my attention and hasn’t left my mind since.
I found myself a little frustrated that I was bringing the same exact request to God again and again. Why isn't God taking over my burdens?
A couple weeks ago, someone asked me a question that really made me stop and think. We muttered an answer after we had thought for a second, but the words he said after our explanation just stopped me in my tracks. It was like he made Scripture “come alive” in my heart.
This weekend we spent some quality time with a dear 92-year-old man. As I sat next to him, he just started reminiscing about his life — the hard times and the happy times. He lived a simple life, but a life full of faith.
This week our kids made a complete mess of our living room... and it made me think of the family of God.
