Falling and Getting Up…Again…and Again…and Again…

“Alright Ms Angela,” my instructor encouraged as he held out a red paddle shaped target. Last one is my best one, my mind whirled as I put my right foot forward prepared to kick. I twisted my torso and legs to my left, then lifted my left leg up to kick the target. The next thing I knew sharp pain…

2014 One Word…

Happy New Year friends!   In 2013 God gave me the word “wait.” And He taught me a lot about waiting and what it means and what it doesn’t mean. I learned a lot…. I learned to wait on dreams and wait for God’s timing and to trust His way… Now 2014 God has given…

Amazing Grace

Good Friday. A day to remember. A day to look at the ugliness of our sin and think about the price which Jesus paid that we may live. Our sin condemned us to life separated from God and later eternity separated from Him. Then Jesus “who knew no sin became sin that we might become…

One Night

In my mind’s eye, I see him, Achan is his name. His heart flutters in nervous excitement. He thinks, “I got away with it.” A smug grin spreads across his face. “Yes, I’m home free now.” He hums a song as about 3,000 of his people go to overthrow a small city. “I’m rich. I…

In Awe of God

I have a post at The M.O.M. Initiative today called How to Mother in the Spirit. Check it out if you have the time. Welcome everyone. I have been dwelling on God’s names lately because I am doing the Bible study Knowing God by Name by Mary Kassian. The more I know about God the…

Faith

We sat outside in the unseasonably warm December sun. I sat on a folding chair reading Psalm 97 aloud as my kids sat on the stone patio.   “Mommy,” my 8-year-old furrowed her brow. “I have a question.”  “Sure,” I nodded, “what is it babe?”   “I don’t understand how God loves people and then…

Christmas Joy

The joy of Christmas comes wrapped in ordinary. How often do we look for joy in the extraordinary when it is the ordinary God uses to wrap true joy? Jesus a babe wrapped in ordinary clothes, placed in an ordinary feed trough. Immanuel, God with us, wrapped in flesh, made from dust. Yet often we…

Pea Jackets

I was in the bathroom the door closed. You know getting some things worked out and having a little private time. As a mother of three there isn’t much “private” in “private time.” So it wasn’t long before I began having conversations through the door. Conversation with J who is potty training and on the…

God is Able

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,” Ephesians 3:20 Did you catch that? God’s power is at work within us. The power that created the universe, the power that calms the sea, the power that raises…
