A friend reminded me of this blog I wrote back in 2018. Surprisingly enough, it was titled “God is making all things new.” If you remember from last week’s blog, we looked at God making everything beautiful in its time. It reminded me of that verse about God making all things new. Which leads us here, to this blog. God amazes me how He is always connecting the dots. God is making all things new. From eggs to chicks, […]
Living a Life of Love
I think about time a lot, actually I struggle with it. Running late is common for me. Maybe because I think I can do just one more thing. For me, there never seems to be enough time. But today, I want us to reflect on it a little differently. Because God has told us, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” In last week’s blog, God taught us how we should respond in the seasons of our […]
I have to admit, Ecclesiastes is not one of my favorite books of the Bible. However, as autumn approaches, I am drawn to the words of the book. If there really is a season for everything, how should we respond?

Ecclesiastes 3:9-14;reads; “What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one […]
As I sat in church last Sunday, listening to the preacher, he reminded me how important it is to live a life of love. Instantly, I thought of my life verse, “to live a life of love.” This morning, as I read my Jesus Calling devotion, it referenced Ephesians 5, again encouraging us to live a life of love. Ephesians 5:1-2 reads, “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love; just as Christ loved […]
I have been talking a lot about how when we choose joy, we actually choose God. And about how to choose joy when things get harder. We discovered that thankfulness and continual prayer helps us. Last week, we realized that there is not just power in our prayers, there is power in our praise. Today, I want to talk about the importance of praise. When was the last time you praised God? Maybe you have been praising […]
