Practicing Patience When God Has You Waiting
Some days, it is a lot harder to be patient. When we’re bringing our concerns to the Lord again and again, we grow tired of waiting. It soon begins to feel like our prayers are falling on deaf ears.

Choosing to Wait on God
"Wait!" This word resonates with feelings of impatience within most of us, as it usually means that we have to delay doing or getting something we want.

Finding Purpose in Mid-Life
“Honey? It’s Dad. I’m at the emergency room with Mother and the doctor wants her to see an oncologist before she leaves. They think she has cancer.”
I had no clue how Dad’s words would change my life.

365 Days of Prayer
It was July 1st and it started like any other day. I was at work, so was my husband, Jon. We had no idea our lives would change that afternoon. Suddenly, Jon received THE call. In the company's restructuring, after eight years of service, he seemed to have been "restructured" out.

Under His Care

Is it simply “bad luck”? Possibly - but doubtful. There is an enemy of our souls who seeks to kill and destroy us. Granted,... >Read More
