"If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."Mark 5:28 I can't seem to get off of this topic. Pressing. Persistence. So many times we want Jesus to press through to us, but it doesn't work that way. To accomplish and receive God's best for us, we have to press. What does … Continue reading Pressing In

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:18-19 I was in prayer the other day, … Continue reading Get Out of Your Way
This world, oh this world. In this world we are mocked. We are called narrow minded. We are called ignorant. We are despised. We have chosen to follow Christ and His teachings and for that we are exposed to the hatred of those who do not understand. We have chosen to model our lives by … Continue reading They Hated Me First

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!
This week marks my 16th week of pregnancy. Little Bean is growing right on schedule for his or her September 11th due date. I have found it hard through this pregnancy not to think back to last summer when at 16 weeks we found out the little girl we were expecting had died a week … Continue reading Bent, Not Broken
