Psalm 139:1-4 (ESV) 1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on …

I am trying hard to be more like my Jesus. I have lots of improving to do..I know I am far from perfect. My kids and husband are kind enough to remind me of this sometimes too. 🙂 And yes, I remind them as well..so don't feel bad for me. Ever had one of those …

Recently, someone asked me a question. HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS? Someone who doesn't want to hear about HIM..someone who has chosen to reject HIM.. My answer: You live it.

There's just something about sharing the deepest parts of yourself with others. The ugly parts that God has turned into something beautiful. It's a vulnerable place to be in. An out of your comfort zone place. Yet, it's a place that God is glorified in. I am reminded in Acts 22...when Paul asks to speak to …

Well, it has taken me a bit longer to process these thoughts and truths that have been jumping around in my head. I know that I have shared before, that I take this "writing" or "blogging" thing very serious. AND...Sometimes...that means just waiting and being still. Waiting for God. I have learned patience …
