Faith, Family & the Everyday In Between

Psalm 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. An empty cup. Silence. The first drop hits. Then the next. Depth starts to build. A flood. Waves back & forth. From hollow, To whole. Filled to the top. Warmth brewing From those l

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...

As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness...

Focus Scripture: But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19 Hello again!

I have some blog ideas stored up that I've been saving over time as I reflect upon His...

In reading these chapters, Jesus says so many good things that it's so hard to choose one Scripture in particular to focus on. He spoke in an encouraging fashion on the most difficult, yet exciting topic of all: the end of the world. One day, Jesus will be coming back for His church-and we need to be ready! This Scripture says that Heaven & earth shall pass away, but His Word...

Reading of the Day: Zechariah 6-8 Zechariah 8:21: And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. Every day is a day of "going." One place to another. One room to another. One thought to another...all countless times in a row. So many things are happening simultaneously, and we have to navigate & meander through it all somehow. We are always making the conscious effort to "go." With all...
