“I will refresh those who are weary and will satisfy with food everyone who is weak from hunger.” Jeremiah 31:25 I am weary. This week has been long. I have slept, I am just physically and emotionally exhausted. My schedule has been full and I know this time of the year takes its toll... Continue Reading →
“Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you.” Ephesians 4:29 I think sometimes we use scriptures like this to justify not correcting a brother or sister in Christ. We equate... Continue Reading →
“No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 Enduring temptation, I realize most...

“But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.” James 1:22 This seems to be the scriptural theme for my day. Knowing what to do, but not doing it. The addict that can teach the class on what to do, but can’t apply it outside of treatment. The child... Continue Reading →

Today in church, Pastor Ness talked briefly about things that we need to put on. He mentioned righteousness, the armor of God, the new creation, and light. Maybe it stood out to me as I recently studied out the Armor of God. Maybe it was that putting something on takes an intentional effort, and I... Continue Reading →
“Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?” 1 Corinthians 5:6 My mom used to make homemade rolls and bread. I feel like I have a lot of memories of those but maybe it was just holidays. When I learned how To make... Continue Reading →
