Today’s post isn’t a word study. Today, God is giving me revelation into my own struggles, sins, perceptions, and realities…and asking me to be raw and transparent with what He is teaching me about them. I’ve been thinking a lot about rejection, lately. You see, it’s always been a stronghold in my life. As a […]

In my last post, I talked quite a bit about trials and tribulations and how they press us to refine and prepare us for heaven. However, training us for eternity isn’t the only benefit of the trials and struggles that we face in this life. The trials that we endure on earth also train us

It amazes me how God is opening my mind to see seemingly simple words in so many profound ways! This is another “doozie” of a word with multiple meanings, lessons, and implications! A couple of weeks ago, my mother in law was telling me about a situation at our nephew’s basketball game in which one
I have been pondering grace a lot, lately. It’s another big word! The dictionary definition of grace, in a human sense, is simple elegance and refined movement. I looked up God’s grace, and it is defined as “unmerited favor,” a gift of His goodness that we do not deserve and could not earn if we
Our church has created a new mission acronym for its members, and each week, our pastor has been unfolding it. The acronym is LION, and the “I” is “Impacting the World.” It’s really gotten me thinking. This word is a bit like the Kool-Aid post in that it isn’t a “go dig in the Word
This is the longest word so far. God seems to be handing me words, like gifts, and asking me to unwrap them! When He first revealed this word to my heart, I was unsure about what He would have me write. After all, I could only think of a couple of verses containing this word.
I’m actually having a hard time wrapping myself around this one. While some of my other words have seemed small at first glance, this one is a doozie, in its own right! I mean, who am I to presume to write about this one?! And what on earth can I say that hasn’t been said
So, as I said, this blog focuses on my relationship with Christ (the Jesus part of the acronym), Adoption, Music, and Motherhood! So far, I’ve done some devotional writing as God has been giving me lots to grown on! I’m sensing a shifting of gears, at least for now. As a music therapist/former homeschooler/mom/adoptive mom,

Well, when I think I’ve written the last post about a single word…He lays a few more on me. This is like a scavenger hunt! I have prayed over the years that He would give me words to study and help me figure out why…but He’s never answered that prayer until the last few weeks!
Um…yes, you read that correctly…Kool-Aid! Clearly, though still based on a single word, this post is a little different! This one is not specifically a topical word study from scripture. As far as I’m aware, Kool-Aid is not mentioned in the Bible! However, as I was praying in the still of the early morning, God
