Why did Jesus come as a baby? Why Mary & Joseph? Why Bethlehem? Why a stable and some shepherds? Why at night? There are as many answers to the “why’s” as there are questions. But the following is just one person’s thoughts. Maybe they will provoke your own. Nothing about the Christmas story makes any […]

Hi! I'm Faith. Wife, mom, singer, songwriter, musician, and very loved child of God. I hope after visiting my blog, you leave encouraged, hopeful and maybe even singing a song!
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him." - Psalm 28:7
He doesn’t have to make His presence known.
Have you ever NOT felt God? Ever not heard Him? Or seen Him? Ever feel like you are alone? We all have. I think. I hope I’m not the only one. Sin can make us feel distant from Him. Because we are. He can’t have fellowship with us when our sin stands between us. But […]
Live Thankful: Part 3
I Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here. Part 3: In every thing, give thanks. So this is a little more difficult than what we’ve previously done. And I don’t […]
Live Thankful: Part 2
I Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Read Part 1 here.

Suffering but Seeking: Marsha Smith
I first met Marsha probably when she was visiting our church, but we found out later we had a lot in common. Like – singing, photography, love of food and the truth that chocolate is life. As she reminded me, our friendship really started at Panera over coffee, which I’m sure mine had a lot […]
The Manual For Suffering
We are bombarded as Christians with the question, “Why does God allow suffering?” No one likes the answer, but the Bible does give us a reason. I’ve been studying the book of Hebrews lately, and normally I think of it as the book of “faith”. But this time around reading it, I have seen it […]
A Higher Throne: Mary Spoonhour
I was “introduced” to this lady via Facebook through a mutual friend. I had been struggling with my dizziness for a little over a year and I found out that she had the same thing. It was so wonderful to finally find someone who knew how I was feeling. She understood me, as crazy as […]
Casting and Coming
We’ve all seen the funny memes about carrying all the groceries in one trip. It’s funny because it’s true. What’s not so funny, though, is we try to do that in life too. It seems like you hardly ever carry just one burden. Most of the time, it seems like we are carrying the weight […]
Hope In The Lord: Mrs. Willie Jones
This year started out with me praying more intensely for healing. My husband, my family, my friends, even my church came together to pray harder for me. And I felt like I got worse. My daddy had revival at his church a couple of months back and Bro. Ronnie Jones was the preacher. The middle […]
