Don't become weary; work hard to see the Harvest

There are many things in life that can make us weary; tough relationships, difficult circumstances, things not falling together the way we had planned…. But God doesn’t give us an out. He doesn’t say, “Oh, when you are tired of life being hard, curl up in a ball and just let the world pass by.” Sometimes, we wish He did. Sometimes, when we have yet to see a harvest of good fruit in our lives, it seems to hard to go on. But it doesn’t have to be. God has given us everything we need for life and godliness, and [ …read full story ]

7 Guidelines for Young Love

Young Love. An Idealized notion. The stuff Cinderella dreamed about. The beautiful dress, the handsome prince, the dance, the kiss, the happily ever after. But what is it really like? What is it all about? And, what is love’s purpose in God’s eyes? There are seven (perfect) points that I think will help in navigating the rocky years of love relationships between guys and girls before marriage. So here goes. 1. Pray for your heart. Pray that God would be your first love. Pray that you would love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength. (Deut 6:5). [ …read full story ]

What to do to get your Self out of a Funk

What to do to get your Self out of a Funk

The Funk. It happens to the best of us. What do we do to get our Self out of a funk? When it feels like everything is wrong… but you can’t pinpoint exactly what. When someone asks you what’s wrong, you say “Nothing,” but mean, ‘Everything.’ It’s the feeling that we’re spinning our wheels but nothing is happening. We are hamsters in a rat race but we are stuck going around in vicious circles. It’s the sinking sensation that no matter what we do, all of our list of “to do’s” will not get done. It’s the longing for space, [ …read full story ]

So you are thinking of Homeschooling....

Are you thinking of Homeschooling? If you are even remotely thinking of homeschooling, here are some things to consider. Homeschooling is just like anything else in life that God might ask you to do. It is a task. It requires relationship. It includes discipleship. It requires discipline. It’s a lot of fun. God would not call you to do something that He will not equip you to do. You don’t have to be smart, organized, or perfect in any way, to homeschool. If you are a parent, you can homeschool. God will give you the wisdom you need to provide [ …read full story ]

Are you prepared to share what God has been teaching you? You never know what kind of opportunity you will get when you are prepared to share your spritual journey with others. God will provide opportunities for us to share our faith and encourage spiritual growth in others, if we are prepared. How do we prepare to be a light and share our relationship with God with others? Last weekend, I spoke at a Friend’s retreat. I had spent many hours, days, weeks and months preparing to share what God had placed on my heart. I had poured over Scripure, [ …read full story ]

To Share or not to Share

Should we share our lives with others? Relationships take work. Investment. Vulnerability. Energy. Patience. Sometimes grief, loss, or suffering. They can take the life out of us if we let them. Should we let relationships zap the life out of us? I believe that Christ’s answer would be 1000 times yes. Let me explain. 1 John 3:16 says “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.” And Jesus said : “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with [ …read full story ]

Real Relationships

How do we do ‘Real’ in our Relationships? My kitchen is messy. My cupboards are cluttered. There is laundry on the couch. The kids homework isn’t finished and they just left to go play basketball. I haven’t planned my homeschool year yet, and it started last week. I lost the remote control garage door opener to my friend’s house where I was cat-sitting, and when my husband picked them up at the airport last night, they had to come sleep over because they had no other way to get in their house! Thrilling, with a 10 month old. I fail [ …read full story ]

Watching for God and Sharing our Monday Ministries

Let us Seek Him together this week~ Join me for Monday Ministries Just another manic Monday. You either love them or hate them. I think we should choose to redeem Mondays together. I would love to see Monday as a day of new starts every week. A day to seek God’s agenda for the coming week, and to pray and ask Him for opportunities to make Him known in the world around us. Will you do this with me? Today, and each Monday for the remainder of 2014, will you petition God with me? Will you ask Him to lead [ …read full story ]

Making your Marriage Bearable: Loving him even when you don’t like him We celebrated had our 17th anniversary yesterday. Hum. Not so pleasant. If ever there were two people opposite, we met our match. You know the kind. You say toe-mawh-toe, I say toe-mAy-toe. Something like that. Both of us always right, neither ever wrong. I can still say we rejoice at our union. “Why?” you well ask. Many reasons. First and foremost, is our mutual (amazing we agree on something) belief that God ordained our marriage. We both believe that God saw in His most brilliant mind some amazing [ …read full story ]
