Living a Life of Love

What would it take to have a deeper relationship with God? Do you ever think about it? What would it be like to have more fulfilling relationships with other people? To connect and feel connected? Could the the two be linked? That your relationship with God might somehow correlate to your relationship with everyone else. I long to have a deep relationship with God and I want others to have it too. Three years ago, I wrote my first blog in an effort to promote […]

This morning, as I stepped outside around 5:45 a.m., I was met by the most beautiful night sky. The crescent moon shone so bright, while the stars twinkled all around it. It was a reminder, telling me to be a light in this world. All I could do was praise God. “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise…” Psalm 96:1-11 reads, Sing to the Lord a new song;     sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;     proclaim his salvation day after day.

Do you believe in miracles? I think we’ve had this conversation before. But do you? Do you believe that when Jesus walked this earth, He performed miracles?

Do you know what happens when I refuse to rest? I turn into my worst self. Seriously. When I refuse to rest, I become ill, cranky, short tempered, and short on patience. Refusing to rest, takes away my ability to show love. You might think I’m exaggerating. But ask my family. Bad things happen when I refuse to rest. For those of us that refuse to rest, read on. This is our warning. I have enjoyed writing these messages on rest for your soul.  The […]

  Today, I want to share an important truth with you. The only place you can find true rest is in God! It is that simple.  Last week, we discovered rest for our souls by attaching ourselves to Jesus.  This week, we are going to take that yoke He offers us and find specific ways to rest in HIM. It is a command we have forgotten. But it is a message we need to remember.  Genesis 2:2-3 says, “By the seventh day God had finished […]

When was the last time you rested? You know, really rested? I cannot remember the last time I rested. But, it is exactly what I need. I am anxious, overwhelmed and downright weary. I need rest. But, I think I have forgotten how to rest or even where to find it. Today, we are going to discover rest for our souls and it has been here the whole time. I just wasn’t looking in the right places. Jesus tells us in Matthew 11:28-29;“Come to me, all […]
