Ever told your kids that you wanted them to do a certain chore and you got the response, "I know...." ? Like.. I need you to put your stuff up, etc? Has someone ever reminded you of something that you had to do and you thought or said, "I know." ? What about this: Has …
HE Deserves Nothing Less
I just finished reading the book of Exodus..now on to Leviticus. I am loving all of this knowledge that I am soaking up from God's word! It is good stuff! After completing Genesis and Exodus, I am struck with this question. What kind of home am I providing my Savior God to live in? What …
What Are We Holding On To?
What am I holding on to that I need to release my grip on? As I mentioned in an earlier post (Holding Back), we are doing a Bible study on a book called Surrender by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. We are also studying Hebrews 11 at our church. I don't believe that it is a coincidence …
IS HE FIRST or IS HE JUST A BACK-UP?

He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of Himself that He had to cling to the advantage of that …
Well Done….
When I am gone....how will I be remembered?? When my time on this earth is done, what legacy will I leave behind? Surely I am not the only person who has had these thoughts. I know it isn't something we tend to think about when we are younger. We should though..and as adults …
Making the Time and Giving HIM Glory
I am not a morning person..I love my sleep..I need my sleep. 🙂 I chose to set my alarm to wake up 30 minutes earlier today. When I told my husband that I had done this(he was still asleep 🙂 ) he said that was a miracle in itself..because he knows me best..he knows I …
