Baptism in The Word
I found a new nugget today, in Ephesians 5:26, among Paul’s writings about the way husbands and wives are to love each other. Ephesians 5:25 sets the stage. It’s verse where the teaching focus is usually on husbands loving their wives: seeking
Be The Light
A few years ago, my (then) Pastor, Kim Poer, spoke about “spreading Joy.” It was a good reminder then and a good reminder now, as well. Then, I had many responsibilities as a mom and as the director of our
Claiming Peace
In Joshua 1:9 God commands His people, Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Note that God tells them to guard against discouragement and fear. Discouragement
Rise Above
The power of Positive Thinking has become more and more well known since the emergence of social media, but did you know that strategies to change negative thought patterns appear in the Bible? Scripture teaches us that we have the
Battling
Ya’ll, does it ever hit you between the eyes that you are trying to do everything all by yourself and figure everything out and yet you totally DO NOT have it all together? In fact it has hit you between
Delay Is Not Denial
James 1:2-3 says, Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. The Complete Jewish Version uses the word Trust, in place of faith. James continues in
Spiritual Elbow Grease
Some people have asked me, “Why do you think God healed your heart and helped you move forward so quickly when He tarries so long in answering other people’s prayers?” I’ll let you in on a secret. It was not
Beauty For Ashes
God’s timing is perfect. Even when we are broken. Even when our whole world is falling apart. Even when we are on the floor weeping and wailing and crying out in anguish. Before we even glimpse our healing, God is
God Is Able
Last night I attended a Presbytery service. It’s a special time where multiple leaders take turns speaking a word of encouragement over people in attendance. We all need encouragement at times. As I incubate, as I wait for God to
Incubating
When you meet new people, there are always the getting to know you questions. Where do you live? What do you do? How do you spend your days? I’ve been telling people I’m in a “transitional season.” I’m waiting for
Edges and Soul
John Legend sings a beautiful ballad, “All of me, loves all of you.” Listening to this song can be a spiritual experience. The piano cords are otherworldly. The vocals are simple, yet exquisite, and the words speak of a love
The Big Why, Part Two
Do you ever ask God, “Why?” I’d like to say I haven’t, but ya’ll, the truth is that yes, I have. A few weeks ago my husband asked for a divorce. I was shocked. I never in a million years
That time When God Told Elijah to take a Nap
Ya’ll, it’s been a rough few months. Heck, it’s been a rough year. It’s the anniversary of the week when COVID-19 brought unprecedented changes. Many lost their jobs as businesses closed and the economy suffered. I was in that number.
The Big Why
A loved one asked me recently, “Why did God cause this to happen? What lesson are we supposed to learn?” The context was the COVID-19 Quarantine. Here’s the thing: I don’t believe God caused this to happen. Just like I
Why Quarantine is SO Hard
Who knew that laying around doing nothing would be so exhausting? Ok, so there ARE a lot of us are who are not laying around doing nothing. A lot of us are trying to work from home while managing the
Unprecedented Times
Ya’ll, to quote my Pastor, Kim Poer, this quarantine situation is unprecedented. You are going to feel anxious. You are going to feel afraid, and overwrought, and even worn out. You just are. This does not mean there is
