Fallow Ground
As a little girl, I always loved spring on our small family farm, especially when Dad "broke ground" for the garden. Something about walking barefoot behind the tractor as the plow turned the ground delighted me. I remember the freshly plowed undersoil mingling...
Compromise?
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…" — Romans 12:2 (KJV) Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you knew what was right, but doing the right thing wasn't the easiest choice? I know I certainly have. Maybe...
Still Becoming
Do you remember saying "yes" to Jesus? Maybe you remember the exact moment, or perhaps you just remember how it made you feel. Maybe, like me, you wondered if it didn't quite take the first time. I remember expecting to change instantly and know the change had...
A Heart of Contentment
"Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am in, to be content." ~ Phil 4:11~ This scripture reminds me of a story of a family who had to make the difficult decision to place their precious father into an assisted-living community. He...

A Life Held, Not Hustled

Shalom, Shalom
I was walking out of the movie theater when a familiar voice spoke to me, "Shalom, Shalom, friend." I turned to see the elderly gentleman with kind eyes smiling at me. He was an older saint of God who had impacted my life over the years. He loaned me the money to buy...
Waiting on God
