I heard something today that resonated with me... "Having knowledge does not equal having faith." 2 Timothy 3:7 tells us that there are those who are "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." You can know about salvation, healing, provision, and the myriad of other promises that God has given … Continue reading Knowledge ≠ Faith

Unending love, amazing grace. — © 2006 worshiptogether.com songs, sixsteps Music, Vamos Publishing / Artist: Chris Tomlin I am not a person given to visions or vivid dreams but as I was leading worship … Continue reading Made to Soar
Choices. We often think that our choices have no bearing or affect on other people. That our choices only affect ourselves. That is so far from the truth. I was talking with my daughter the other day about how important our choices are. We talked about the story in 1 Samuel 15 in which Saul … Continue reading Choices
It's sad when you have to visit your own blog to remember the last time you posted. This year has been one long battle of the mind. In some of my previous blogs I have written about the loss of our baby girl in July 2013. Well, in January 2014 we found out we were … Continue reading Take it to Heart
On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so … Continue reading If Jesus Can Sleep, You Can Too!
I've gotta tell you. I'm not often rendered speechless but God has certainly out done Himself over the last couple of days. We have been looking off and on at vans—we really needed a larger vehicle. The kids are getting bigger and will soon want to go places with friends and our car was just … Continue reading I’ve Been Run Over
Let me start by saying that God is not the devil. I know what you're thinking... Duh, I know that! But do you really? I have a feeling that if God could go through an identity crisis He certainly would when people attribute the works of the devil to Him. Jesus said in John 10:10 … Continue reading Identity Crisis
About thirteen years ago I was a 22 year-old single woman working in a back office department at a major bank in downtown Seattle. There were many things in life that I was believing for—a husband, a home, and children to name a few. Some people have dreams of a certain profession but for me, … Continue reading What You Really Need
I dropped my in-laws off at the airport Monday after an awesome, week-long visit. We camped, we took part in the wonderful Washington State Fair, and we shopped until we dropped. They are such wonderful, down-to-earth, give you the shirt off their back kind of people and we always love when they visit. We hadn't … Continue reading Consider the Lilies
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a … Continue reading A Thief In The Night
