Perspective for this Season of Life: 3 Things to Remember

by admin 9 Comments

The school work is not done.  The baby is crying.  A diaper needs changed.  You don’t know what’s for dinner and it’s almost 5p.m.  The phone rings.  All you really want to do is sit down on the couch and do NOTHING.  It’s a typical day in your life, right? Some days are like that.  Realistically, some days aren’t.  They are the rare occasions … [Read more...]

Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this season of uncertainty, it feels even more important. I keep asking God to change my heart if what I want is not what he has for me, but the pull just keeps getting stronger. I am certain of what I hope for. It’s a struggle to be just as certain that He will provide it. But He is faithful even when we are not. Thank goodness!  So we will praise Him in the storm...and wait. #faith #waitingplace #godisgood #hewillprovide
