"Gas pumps have 3 grades of fuel available. The higher the grade, the more power can be experienced. Yet people go with the low grade, not willing to pay the price for the higher fuel. The power is available if you're willing to pay the price." (-An illustration used by J. Harold Smith) I despise [...]

Without a Titus
"...our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;..." 2 Corinthians 7:5-6 I have this verse underlined in my Bible because at one time the words, "our flesh had no [...]
When Jesus Can’t Be Seen
Imagine that you are holding someone's hand one moment and the next moment, you find yourself in hell. From a place of safety to a place of complete terror and torture. It is recorded as happening in Judges 16. Go read it in its entirety. I had to go brush up on it too, because [...]

Overwhelmed
For all my "focusing" I did last year, I feel so unfocused as this new year looms. And if I'm being honest, I'm overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with all the things I know need to change this year.

Mended Again
Once again, God has used my children to speak to me. And once again, it's about broken things. And once again, I'm just going to share my heart openly with you. I used my daughter's curtains for a wedding last weekend and we just got them out of the car yesterday. She brought them to [...]
Who Jesus Is
*HONEST POST WARNING* There will come a point in your life when you don't know what to do. My husband and I both like to know stuff. I like to have a plan, to know what's going to happen next. My husband likes to know he's always right. Haha. We're both stubborn. Last night, we [...]
When They’re All Gone: A Tribute to Bro. A.C. Durham
He signed my Bible with Philippians 1:12: But I would you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; As a little girl I wondered at that verse. Surely there was a more poetic one? Or at least one that could bring you [...]
