Hope Floats
Praying over this post, this is what the Lord gave me. And I thought, "Ok. Hope is really a perfect topic for Holy Week." I mean…that's really what its all about. Freeing us of the bonds of sin and giving us hope in the security of eternity. But I still didn't get it. Hope floats?…

Jump Into The Next Four Weeks – See The Miracles
My friends, in the past few months since returning from Bethel, so much has happened in my spiritual walk. And you know what is so cool? I’ve witness a shift in our community as well. There is a new sweetness within our people. A newly born passion to be authentic and it’s when we ARE…

I Saw God
I saw God. Let me explain. Lately I have discovered that my spiritual eyes have opened just a little bit wider. I’ve witnessed glimpses of God around me. Most recently, I heard God. It was early Easter morning. You can read about that story on my Facebook page (look for the post on Sunday, April…

That Old Familiar Ache
It snuck up on me again, that old familiar ache. The one I used to walk around with constantly early on in my mismatched marriage. I thought I’d made peace with it, made the choice to trust God with my husband’s salvation and the future of our marriage. I’d learned to bring that ache, that…

She Finally Asked
My friends, Yesterday our Pastor told a story that will not leave me. It pulls at my heart and I think it’s a story we all need. He told of a young woman who came up to meet him after service last week. She came along with a friend. She said to Pastor Josh, “I…

Feel the Passion- He is Risen Just as He said
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly…

The Last Supper ~The Passover
Each day between now and Easter Sunday I will post a Chronological Look at the Passion Week. Remember to stop in here every morning, pause for five minutes, and think upon what is happening on this particular day nearly two thousand years ago. Reflect, pray, get out your Bible, and then add your thoughts here…

The Lamb and the Entry ~ Whoa!
Last week a wonderful friend of mine, Kathryn, sent me a book, Christ in the Passover. I am enjoying learning how the Passover customs and practices are fulfilled in Christ. Every day this week we are intentionally focusing on the Passion Week of Christ and Passover. Each day between now and Easter Sunday I will…

In Preparation of the Lamb
I love my Jewish heritage. No, I wasn't born a Jew but the King, through Jesus, the Lamb of God, adopted me. The legacy of the Jewish customs especially the Passover enriches our Easter experience. Last week a wonderful friend of mine, Kathryn, sent me a book, Christ in the Passover. I am enjoying learning…

Passover – me, Easter Blues!
I started thinking about this thing….. “The Easter Blues.” Scroll down to read the article by Dineen. It has been a long while since I have thought about how difficult this holiday is and how I struggle in a mismatched marriage to bring meaning and celebration into our home. But, as I was pondering and…

Easter Blues
Holidays can stir up turmoil in any marriage, but “religious” holidays can bring about huge conflict in a spiritual mismatch. Of all the holidays throughout the year, I think Easter is the most awkward for my household. When my girls were little, we focused on Easter baskets and spending the morning together as a family.…

New Beginnings
Part of the heart message of Christ’s ministry is new beginnings. One of our greatest benefits in salvation is that everyday is a chance start over. We’re human, and we will undoubtedly mess up-daily even. But we have a God who loved so much that he took care of that, too. Praise be to the…

Remembering Good Friday
John 12: 24-25 Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it…
