Cloud of Hope

What are you waiting for God to do in your life?  Are there prayers that seem unanswered or ignored by God?  Is He offering you small glimpses of hope that you've overlooked, misunderstood, or even taken for granted? We live in a fast-paced society where we expect everything to happen right away.  Fast food delivered … Continue reading Cloud of Hope

God Can Make a Way

Does it ever seem that the circumstances you face are so complicated that there is no way out? No matter which way you turn, you only see trouble.  In those moments, we have a tendency to focus on the problem rather than God and His power to conquer any obstacle.  When problems arise, we begin … Continue reading God Can Make a Way

Light in the Dark

I took this photo tonight after we suddenly found ourselves in complete darkness. Fairly quickly, we were able to get light from a cell phone, so that we could light this old, oil burning lamp. How in the world did we ever find a flashlight, candles, or matches without our ever present cell phones? As … Continue reading Light in the Dark

Find Hope in Him

Tonight as I read of the shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, my heart is broken because so many families are hurting.  My heart is broken because I know there are people whose faith will be challenged. There are people who will become angry and blame God, and allow Satan to be … Continue reading Find Hope in Him

We often practice this technique in the small day to day annoyances so that we don't come across as rude or cranky. We do it when we aren't feeling well, and … Continue reading Don’t Just Grin and Bear It

Adjustments of Life

This is something that has been on my mind lately, so I thought I would share it again. Yesterday I hesitantly went with my daughter for her first visit to the chiropractor due to back pain.  I sat in the corner of the room preferring to be in the waiting room or shopping, but because … Continue reading Adjustments of Life

Wait for the Joy

A three-year old child just starting school was expected to ride the bus across campus to the building where her mother worked. Many children ride buses every day, but this was something totally foreign to her and caused much anxiety. As students were loading the bus, she walked right up to the door and then … Continue reading Wait for the Joy

Put Your Hope in Him

As each of four women stepped into my car, I found myself amazed by their compassion. Each woman was facing significant trials in her own life, yet making the time to pray with a friend facing the nightmare of possibly losing her baby.  All of these women from different backgrounds, experiencing a variety of trials, … Continue reading Put Your Hope in Him

Overwhelmed?

Do you ever have moments when it seems as if your whole life has been turned upside down and you just don’t know if you can handle any more?  Sometimes life is overwhelming. I recently found a garden snake in our elementary building. Considering that our students would be returning on Monday, I knew the … Continue reading Overwhelmed?
