The Beauty of Prayer
Mar 3rd
As we consider all the great men and women of faith throughout the ages, we see a common thread; they were prayer warriors.? They did diligent battle on their knees before they set out to achieve great ground for the kingdom.? Listen to the voices of faithful men and women throughout the ages as they join in the chorus acknowledging the beautiful discipline of prayer.
?He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.? William Law
?Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray. That is a great mistake, for praying is a More >
While Waiting on Friends :: at (in)courage
Mar 3rd
God is in no hurry. Compared to the works of mankind, He is extremely deliberate. God is not a slave to the human clock.
Charles Swindoll
You tell me your desert stretches for miles, and how you lived in it for weeks, months, or years. And I know exactly what you?re talking about because?I?ve seen the same friend-making landscape. True, sometimes friendships form quickly, but usually I?ve had to wait on them.
And really, how many of us like to wait on anything? I want what I want and I want it?now, thankyouverymuch.
I can do all the right things in hopes of finding More >
One Way To Glimpse Heaven Right Here
Mar 1st
Pie fixes everything {except for my waistline}. It gives an excuse to slow and sit down.?It fills my need for a sweet treat whilst enjoying sweet conversation. It’s the perfect means to an end.
So when long-time friends stop by, I serve up apple pie and Blue Bell ice cream. {Which is the best tasting ice cream in the country, if you don’t count Braum’s. Word.} We dish about military life, kids, and memories. Our friendship spans over ten years now, although we haven’t seen one another in over four. But the way we talk and share? You’d think we hung out the More >
The Best Thing You Can Do Today
Feb 27th
Inside the hundred year old house, we have ourselves a grown-up girl slumber party. We talk late into the night about marriage, parenting, the good and hard around both. So many places to go wrong, so many prayers for God to make right. I laugh to myself thinking old or young, some things for girls don’t change: We still want to share our secrets.
I sit on the sofa with legs folded beside me. I sip my drink and wonder what makes me so willing to spill the deep-down fears out all messy-like in front of a few while remaining quiet More >
Change Negative Thinking
Feb 25th
Negative thinking and discouraging thoughts pop in our heads continually. We can choose to dwell on them and allow them to bring us down, or we can recognize them and get rid of them. When we get rid of negative thoughts we must replace them with truth thinking. That?s why I believe memorizing scripture is so important. Now you may be thinking ?Well never mind ? I don?t want to read a blog about scripture memory.? Admittedly, most people want to head for the door when they think about memorization, but I want to encourage you that memorizing God?s word More >
