“Go back where I brought you from.” These are the words Jacob heard from God in Genesis 31. As I read them this week, I thought about all that Jacob had been through up to this point. How God had blessed him. Jacob’s discovery of love, marriage, and family while walking…
Yesterday I had the privilege of leading a prayer journaling session at the Church Next Door in Galloway, OH. The theme of this event was Oasis: A Place for Women to Be Refreshed. The three hour event consisted of a prayer walk, breakout sessions, fresh veggies, fruit, cheese, and fruit-infused…
Friday’s here and so is the Bible reading challenge summary for the week! The passages for this week’s reading have been continual reminders to praise God no matter the circumstances. I was also personally reminded to give thanks for the times you know he is working. Let’s check out the…
God’s Word is alive and active, amen? I am loving this month’s daily Bible reading challenge focused on praise. It really has inspired me to live the message and not just read it. The Lord answered two prayers requests this morning. Taylor, my special needs daughter, had a rough week,…

I know- it’s not Friday! What am I thinking doing a weekly summary on Monday? Well, life got a little crazy last week. Children had unexpected needs and unanticipated repairs came up. When I was preparing the reading plan for this month, I felt the Spirit telling me to be…
It’s day 3 of the Praise Him Anyway Bible reading challenge and I am loving this month’s challenge! I know, I say that every month, but it’s true! Today’s reading of Psalm 30 set the tone for my day and of course, I had episodes. Did you have episodes? Episodes when…
