If you've read My Story you might notice a common thread throughout it - JESUS was, is, and will be a common thread throughout my life. This change came when I was a kid. I met my savior, and my life has been different. Not without struggles, not without failures, not without questions BUT changed, … Continue reading HE Is!

I Praise His Name!
Let's worship together for a moment! https://youtu.be/kSfTnv9NvV8?si=gUo3i8VYSpRHwddA In the daily Bible reading plan by Nicky and Pippa Gumbel I'm challenged each morning but have been especially been challenged the past two mornings. The devotionals have been focused on contentment and praise. A few notes from the reading: "I know how to be brought low, and … Continue reading I Praise His Name!
He’s Our Refuge!
First, let's worship together: https://youtu.be/qtvQNzPHn-w?si=QRCo-75n5jcqKnhZ In my bible reading plan from a few days ago I was reading in Nahum and the devotional from the section hit me. I had to go leave but had some time to read back over it later and wanted to share my notes for this week's post: From the … Continue reading He’s Our Refuge!
LOOK TO JESUS!
I had another thought I was going to try to unpack for today but couldn't find the song I had in mind for this one. Part of the thought was Hebrews 12:2. Since I don't have a full thought on this one I'm going to post the one short thought I do have and hope … Continue reading LOOK TO JESUS!
Stay Grounded…
This week I've tried to write all three of my posts with the same mindset.

Often with the word … Continue reading Stay Grounded…
HOW MARVELOUS!
Let's start this Thursday with some worship... https://youtu.be/_t0zkD93-eQ?si=EODA-jSJPp28QYNC The reason I love long exposure photography outings is because I set up my camera and usually set it to take photos for a long time which gives me a moment to pause and think about my God and his creation and reflect on the grace, love, … Continue reading HOW MARVELOUS!
Pants For Water
A scripture I came across (I do not remember where) is Psalm 56:8, "You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?" I like Tony Evans' commentary on this verse: "David's tears would not escape God's notice." I truly believe I am loved by the … Continue reading Pants For Water
Do Not Fear
Last week I wrote about God is my strength. Last Week's Strength Post This week I'm going to continue with the thought. I just finished my morning reading of scripture and part of the reading was in 2 Chronicles. I thought about a series of verses from this reading and how I'd write about them … Continue reading Do Not Fear
BUT GOD is MY Strength
The habit I've developed over the past few years is waking up early during the week or sleeping in a little on Saturday but then before anything else I read God's word. Right now I'm reading the bible reading plan: "The Bible With Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, Classic Version" with some friends at my church. … Continue reading BUT GOD is MY Strength
