Providence Release: Day Two of A Journey of Hope

Continue with me through a Journey of Hope this week as I celebrate the release of Providence, Book 3 in the Apple Hill Series. Today’s post is a video with a question you might ponder for yourself as reflect on the books you read.

Providence Release: Day One of A Journey of Hope

If you’ve read the Bible, you may be well aware of Psalm 139. And if you believe, as I do, that the Bible is God’s inerrant Word spoken to His children, then you cannot disregard the legitimacy of this precious psalm written by King David. Oh, to take these words at face value and truly trust that the God of …

Introducing Hope Week

Please visit me each day for the next week as I attempt to inspire you with the hope we have in our Lord and Savior.

Detours

When you were young, did you have a dream that seemed so big, so outlandish that you thought it couldn’t possibly come true? Take a moment and think about it. Maybe you did but pushed through and are living it now. But then again, if you’re anything like I was, it could be you set it aside to get on …

Stinky, Smoked Fish

If you’re a Jeopardy fan, the answer to the title of this post would be, “What is a red herring?” You may wonder why I’m writing about stinky, smoked fish. A red herring is a term for a literary device that leads readers (or an audience) toward a false conclusion. If you’re a fan of mysteries, I’m sure you’ve seen …

Speedway

You only have to read through the book of Jeremiah to see that our culture is sprinting toward the path of the Israelites. The chosen people turned their backs on God, and each generation fell further into depravity than the one before. Sexual immorality, debauchery, human sacrifice, and idol worship to name a few. Our only saving grace is Jesus, …

A Flawless GPS

I could count my husband’s flaws on one hand and still have a couple of fingers left over. Sadly, the same cannot be said for me. Does this mean Chris is perfect? Of course not. He’s human. It’s rare that we argue about anything, but (full disclosure) when we do, it’s usually my fault. But not always. At the risk …

Bad Girl, Bad Girl, Watcha Gonna Do?

There isn’t a time I can recall when I didn’t believe in God and know the name of Jesus. I’d go to bed every night and say The Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary, and The Act of Contrition. There was a superstitious quality to this nightly routine—if I didn’t fall immediately to sleep, it was often because I’d forgotten to say …

Details

I don’t know about you, but the older I get, the more excited I am to see God’s hand in every life experience, whether good or not so good. The unexpected can either be a source of anxiety and fear, or it can be an opportunity to identify His blessings at every turn. Take this last weekend for example. I …

What’s Your Story?

Don’t you find, more often than not, an ending is needed for new beginnings? We can’t start a new chapter or season in our lives until the old has passed. I was thinking about a conference Chris and I attended many years ago. It was appropriately named Storyline, and it was the title that caught my attention. As a newly …
