We need to rely on God, to deepen our faith and trust in him. We need to release our barren thoughts that can’t conceive of what is possible with God.

Unending Strength

Energy drinks are designed to give you a boost when you’re tired, but they do not last and are no substitute for a good night’s sleep. No matter how hard we try to avoid it, we will grow tired and lose strength. It’s unavoidable. Even the best athletes tire out and need to rest. But […]

Prayer Journey—Gentleness

During the next few weeks, each Monday I will be praying through the fruit of the Spirit, focusing on one word in Galatians 5:22-23. Today’s word is gentleness. Your tenderness dear God is evident.

God’s Skipping Ripples

Walking the beach for me is a great time to think, to ponder God’s word. If you’ve followed this blog for awhile, you’ll notice many of my post have pictures of the beach near our home. One characteristic of Lake Michigan beach is that some stretches have lots of rocks. Sometimes this prompts me to […]
