BATTLEGROUND
On September 11, 2001, at 8:46 am on a Tuesday morning in New York City, an airplane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03, a second plane crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. At 9:37, a third plane...
Yearning
Yearning is defined as “an intense longing for something.” I have been through a lot in my life, and God has always helped me walk through all my hardships. I love our Lord and follow Him and worship Him, but do I “yearn” for Him? Two years ago, I felt I needed...
New Year, New Beginnings!
I've never really been someone who sets New Year's resolutions. Probably because of the rare times that I did, the goal or resolution was a bust by the end of January. This would usually lead to more disappointment and self-loathing, so I decided that wasn't for me....
Waiting Well
Growing up, I always thought lighting the candles in December was just some religious tradition. I really didn't get that Advent meant so much more. The word "Advent" comes from the Latin term *Adventus*, meaning "Arrival!" or "Coming!" It's all about waiting for our...
A Place for Me
Christmas is finally here. It's a busy time for most folks, but what joy! I love all things Christmas. It brings me immense joy to consider which gift a loved one might fancy, decorate my home in festive colors, string beautiful lights, and bake those special cookies...
Mission Field
Where is your mission field? I once had a dream in my heart to go to Africa; I was set on it. I believed it was where God was sending me. Just when the plan started coming together, life happened, and things changed. Now, I say life happened, but what really happened...
Bridge Building
Be a Bridge-Builder As the end of another year rapidly approaches, I see it as a good time to reflect on the days that have passed and as a time to look forward to what may come in the year ahead. Previously, as I have in the years gone by, I think about the...
Eagerly Waiting
When I was a little girl, I was saved at the age of nine years old. I fell in love with this man, Jesus! I just knew it wouldn't be long, and He would part the eastern sky, blow the trumpet, and take all of us who believe in Him home for all eternity. So here I sit,...
Thanks in Squirrely Times
Learning the proper use of nouns and verbs in English class comes easily for most fifth graders. Spot jumped. Jane ran. Jack laughed. Easy peasy, right? Yet, throw in a few adjectives, adverbs, and some pesky prepositions, and watch things get a little squirrely. That...
Reconciling Broken Relationships
In September of this year, our young adult class started a new study on The Beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5. Jesus had just begun to preach repentance and call his disciples to follow him as He went about all of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the...
