This was originally written as a guest post on my friend Holly’s site. It’s been over 5 years now, and her site no longer exists. I’m sure you all know that song from childhood, Oh, be careful little eyes what you see, Oh, be careful little eyes what you see, For the Father up above…
(I will be adding new videos as I find them!) This is part 1 of a full-length documentary that’s going to come out this summer. It’s only 25 minutes, but packed full of truth that you NEED to watch!! The website is https://plandemicmovie.com.
IS EVERY PROMISE IN THE BIBLE REALLY MEANT FOR ME? Recently, while I was relaxing on the living room sofa, my wife asked me the meaning of a certain Bible verse. She had already drawn her own conclusion regarding the text but she wanted my opinion to validate that she had come to the correct…
I put on shorts already this year. It’s back to being cold, because that’s what New England life looks like, but that’s not noteworthy. That happens almost every year; a few warmer days, a few colder days. God must get a kick out of the prayers of sun those in Massachusetts pray for. But the…
There is no question that life is full of mountain top highs and deep valley lows. It’s easy to trust God from the heights, but what about those valleys? Where do we turn to for hope when we find ourselves shrouded in the darkness of difficulty? I believe there is only one source of true…
“I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness – secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.” (Isaiah 45:3 NLT) Sitting in the quiet of the chapel in the school where I worked, I read these…
As a small child, I was terrified of storms because I thought each one carried a tornado in it. When the storm warnings would come on the T.V., the atmosphere around me was one of fear and anxiousness, so by default, I picked up that energy. I would suffer through intense fear because no one reassured me…
The fear comes at night when the lights turn out. I can feel the darkness as a tangible sadness. It feels real, the darkness of depression. Sometimes it feels like a weight on my chest. Other times it feels like a heavy fog, clouding my thoughts. Most of the time I can’t breathe. Under the covers,…
I sat with tears streaming down my cheeks and buried my head in my hands. “God, I can’t do this anymore!” I cried. I had prayed, begged and pleaded with God to give my husband and I more children, and he answered that prayer by allowing us to adopt through the local foster care system….
In the cold, gray quiet of a January morning in 2015, I was sitting on my couch … weeping. I held a paperback book in one hand and wadded up corner of a blanket in my other that I was using to muffle my sobs so I didn’t wake anyone. It was a messy cry…
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5 Nearly a year ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. A momentous occasion at any time, but one that seemed particularly wonderful, because she was a direct answer to a prayer. Not only was the sun shining,…
Romans 8:18–For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. On Tuesday, March 21, I logged onto Facebook to find a message from my friend, Becky. She wondered if I knew what was going on with a mutual friend….
As I mentioned in my review of Melissa Ohden’s book, I have been a prolife advocate for ages. I haven’t always known how to go about it, but my intentions have always been good. The women’s march closely followed by the march for life kind of did something to my heart. Shouldn’t all women be…
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 11:3 A while back, I put up some rubber wall base in our house. It has an adhesive backing to it, so it wasn’t…
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:4-5 Some people wrongly assume that this passage is teaching that many will come professing to be the Messiah. In actuality, this verse is addressing…
Imagine being trapped alive under the rubble of the collapsed World Trade Center Towers. For hours you shout and scream until you have no voice left. No one hears your cries for help. You feel all alone and scared. Your tears begin to dry up. Your emotions fade away into the darkness. Fear is overtaken…
What do you do when it seems like you never feel well? I get a little tired of hearing the mantra myself. Like a broken record-player. Playing the same old song over and over again. Those sad, disappointed little voices. “Mommy doesn’t feel good… Mommy’s tired… Mommy needs to lay down… Mommy doesn’t feel good…”…
About the movie: John Paul and Wayne are two young men in search of their fathers. Problem is…their fathers have been dead for 25 years. Eddie and Steven are two young men in search of their sons…whom they’ve never met. In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam…
Twenty years ago, I sat on my bathroom floor in my college apartment with a bottle of aspirin in my hand and was ready to take my life. I had battled depression and self-esteem issues for a long time, and the pain had become unbearable. I wrestled with my jumbled, emotional thoughts. Although the pain…
I just read this. Whatever you think of gun control, the people should not be bypassed to enact measures that might not otherwise be enacted. It is supreme arrogance to assume your position is so right that it is OK to force it upon a people. What if a Christian President, horrified at the number…
My five-year old has become quite the fashionista in her short life. On a daily basis, I find myself smiling at the outfit she has put together, combining patterns, colors and clothing types in ways I never would have imagined. (Who knew a pink ballet tutu could pair so perfectly with tribal print leggings?)…
I have two precious children the Lord has entrusted to me. Being a parent is the most important call I have on my life. It is fun, rewarding, frightening, exciting, special, and did I mention frightening? What I am not called to be is the most perfect parent. Thank God, because I would assuredly…
Hey guys, My wife and I are going to be starting a new blog series after the first of the year (March and April), entitled “Men After God’s Own Heart.” We are looking for men willing to share how God has used you despite your weaknesses and imperfections. God referred to David as a man…
Have you seen this phrase going around on social media? “I have been perfectly blessed and assigned by God to be the mom my kids need.” I’m not sure where it originated, but I cringe almost every time I read it. I know it’s meant to encourage and strengthen. I know that the sentiment is…
