" Come to Me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you for My yoke is easy and My burden is light." I've heard it quoted this way a thousand times. It makes sense. Give Jesus your burden and your load gets lighter. Give …

Come Closer
James 4:8 "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." I've been wrestling with these words. Grasping for meaning. Searching for the other piece of the puzzle. Today it's placed in my hands. It all makes sense now. Why I wasn't getting very far. Matthew 15:8 "These people draw near to Me …
Jesus Marveling Faith
Mustard Seed Faith Time and time again mustard seed faith is taught from the pulpit. We know this faith well. As Matthew 5:17 states "faith the size of a mustard seed moves mountains". Mustard seeds are tiny and miniscule. That's not really much faith. But still the smallest amount of faith accomplishes much. Abraham Faith …
Well Laid Plans
January 9th, 2013. Four years ago. The Facebook memory app just reminded me what happened that day. It's not exactly a day I care to remember but it was a pivotal point in my life. An event that would cause me to re-evaluate my life and the choices I had made. It was the hardest …
Blind Faith
" For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7 When we walk by faith, we walk blindly. Walking by faith takes trust. Trusting that the One guiding us will not lead us astray; that He will keep us safe. When we walk by our own perceptions; we see what lies ahead. We see …
In Season and Out

Got your steel toed boots on? Good, you're going to need them. I'm wearing two pairs, one right over the other! You know for that extra protection needed for those toes that are about to be stomped on. I've been reading Lisa Bevere's book titled Girls With Swords. After coming across this line; MY toes are …
Stones of Remembrance
Joshua Chapter 4:Long Story Short Joshua was instructed by the Lord to tell the priests to take up the Ark of the Covenant and walk out into the flowing waters of the overflown Jordan river. Then the waters dried up and the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry land. Joshua was instructed to have one …
Relentless Pursuit
I took this photo on my birthday last year. That day I had woken up to gray skies and threats of rain. That just made what I just knew would be a horrible day even worse. I kept thinking about that dreadful 30 coming next and the countless ways my life had gone so wrong. …
In My Father’s Arms
I will never forget that day I climbed into my father's lap and asked him why we were not packing his things in boxes. I was five years old and didn't fully understand what was going on. But I was observant. I knew enough to know that we weren't packing his things. I looked him square in …
