Mark me as tardy. Today’s post was due on Friday to wrap up last week’s Confident Trust Bible reading plan week 2 summary. I missed a deadline and have several projects that are running behind, so I’m tempted to feel overwhelmed. But this Bible reading plan has emphasized to my…
Today I’m counting my blessings after spending the last week preparing for and speaking at the AWANA Vantage Conference. What an incredible conference it was and I enjoyed chatting with some familiar faces and meeting lots of new folks as well! I thought you might enjoy a few of these…
Welcome to the Confident Trust Bible reading challenge for April! Trust is a strong word, isn’t it? I can remember a sermon illustration about trust from when I was a child. My pastor placed a chair across the room and began to talk about how much he trusted that chair…
Yesterday I snapped a photo of the first crocus in our family’s yard this year. Today we woke up to snowdust on the ground. I suppose if there is one thing that never changes, it’s that things are always changing. I personally believe that transitions are often perceived as disruptions and…
I’ve had some “aha” moments this month as I’ve traversed the True Love Bible reading plan. One of them is that folks often need so much love that they don’t even recognize how much they need it. Another has been that I don’t tell God nearly often enough how much…
Happy Friday! Today we take a glance back over the last week of monthly Bible reading challenge passages. Having a focus on the love of Christ this month has been such a blessing to me! I can’t believe we are already over halfway finished with this Bible reading plan. Let’s…

Welcome to the Pure Joy Bible reading summary week 2! I can hardly believe that we have already completed two weeks of this month’s Bible reading plan. I’ve already been both challenged and charged so much by the Scriptures. I pray it’s the same for you! Let’s check out a…
Happy New Year! 2017 is here and I pray that you are off to a good start today. While today is the first day of the Pure Joy Bible Reading challenge for January, I wanted to take a moment and wrap up the Names of God study we finished in…
Each year when January rolls around, I find myself becoming a little winter-weary. Embracing the beauty of each day is very important to me. Perhaps because I have a sweet girl who is suffering and has a limited number of days to live. Discovering joy for each day isn’t something we…
Have you ever wondered how God can know everything at once? When my mind is on overload, then the thoughts certainly crosses my mind. How is he capable of being omniscient, the all-knowing God? And then I further ponder the names of God and marvel at who God is. I…
Well, Friends, this month has passed so quickly that I can hardly believe today is the 27th of December. I realize I say that every month and every week, but time surely flies. I’m praying for a slower start to 2017! Though running late, I am going to post our…
