End of the Week Affirmation

At the end of a long, hard week, sometimes we just need to be reminded of who we are in Christ and where we stand with God.  The daily mess we walk through in this world can leave us feeling icky and looking stained in our own eyes, but we have to grab a hold […]


A New Path

“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.  These are the things I will do.” -Isaiah 42:16 Okay, so I have another “walking the dogs revelation” to share with you.  I […]


Where’s Your Hope?

“A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.  But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.  We wait in hope for the Lord; […]


Prone to Wander

My family and I live on a farm, and we have two adorable, sometimes obnoxious, pups, a chocolate lab named Yager and a golden retriever named Izzy. When we first got Yager, I would take him for a walk every day. Living on a farm I knew that eventually I would be able to walk […]

Focus on Today and Live Faithfully

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” -Matthew 6:34 (NIV) “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard […]


Once and For All

The Thought Bank 2

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” -2 Corinthians 10:5 This is a holy call to control our minds, and our minds are a powerful thing.  Our thoughts can be set up against the knowledge […]
