HELP
Years ago, I was watching TV, and they were reporting on the Earthquake that had happened in Haiti. There was a man who had been rescued after miraculously surviving for four weeks trapped under rubble. He was taken to the hospital, and the reporters were talking to the doctor, and they asked if someone could really have been […]
It Shall End In Praise
Despair is when you let the circumstances speak to you about what is going to happen. Often times when we are going through something we wait until we receive victory to praise God. However, as Emma Jean Foster sings “Don’t wait till the battle is over to shout now.” Don’t wait, respond with praise right now. […]
Halfsies
When we were kids, we had this thing we called “halfsies”. That is, if someone got something that we wanted like candy, we would call “halfsies”. Then they would have to share with us half of whatever they had. I’ve noticed that we do this with God. We want to take care of the part […]
Cherishing the Essence of H.O.P.E.
We define Hope as trusting Jesus for all the things He says are going to happen. Hope is a powerful thing. It is trusting Jesus in the midst of your circumstances, even if the circumstances don’t look promising. But just when you don’t think you can hope anymore. Jesus shows up. Jesus is always on […]

Godly Wisdom
We just got the chance to see the Taylor Swift “Eras” concert movie. The video was filmed at the Sofi stadium in Los Angeles for her last U.S. tour date. It was Awesome! This concert was unlike any concert you have ever seen. Taylor Swift and her team take all of the tools that are usually used to […]
He is Right There (Keep Looking to Jesus, There is No Need to Hold On To The Hurts of The Past)
I learned a valuable lesson this past year. You can’t make situations change by worrying, and sometimes you can’t make situations change by simply working harder. These are times when you need help. But God was faithful, and He never left us. God’s Spirit kept us encouraged. Every day when I got anxious, or my mind started worrying, […]
We are Casting Out Our Nets
We have been through some very challenging personal circumstances lately, but God has healed us. We are thankful for His presence in our lives, and how He is with us and our family even in the toughest of times. As we look around, we know He will continue what He began in us. Philippians 1:6 […]
Demonstrating Love in Tough Times
Recently some of our close friends demonstrated love under difficult circumstances. Demonstrating love means you give of yourself, sometimes over and above your abilities or resources, and God steps in and takes care of the rest. Showing love does not mean you will always be appreciated, and sometimes you will be hated. But you have to keep showing love! […]

We have also had time to reflect on God’s goodness, while observing what […]
