Finding Faith in the Right Place:

For my personal reading, I have just finished the book, “The House of My Mother,” by Shari Franke.  This woman grew up in a family vlogging channel which started out fairly normal, (as far as family vlogging channels go).  However, this was a woman who grew up with the camera in her face.  Her parents,Continue reading “Finding Faith in the Right Place:”

Words Framing Our Reality:

I recently worked through “The Trust Journal,” by Lysa Terkeurst.  I had read her original book this journal goes with, “I want to Trust You, but I don’t.”  Lysa has been a Christian leader I have followed for a long time.  She has gone through some trials from her health to her first marriage.  However,Continue reading “Words Framing Our Reality:”

Celebrating Advent Season:

Today this blog post is being posted the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  It was hopefully for many of you a great time to celebrate with family and maybe some friends, have a break from work.  (Or maybe some of you may have received double pay working the Black Friday hours).  This means the next major holidayContinue reading “Celebrating Advent Season:”

Teaching the Importance of Giving Back:

I love getting to be a mentor.  I am a mentor to an 8th grade girl who is also a student at my job in the Job Foundation.  A person doesn’t have to be an employee in order to mentor, but I have decided to be a mentor these last few years while working here. Continue reading “Teaching the Importance of Giving Back:”

Allow the Holy Spirit to Change You:

These past few weeks of church have been the start of a new sermon series.  This series is going through the book of Galatians, which is a wonderful book including a lot of information about the Gospel and how to best be stewards of Christ.  This is also wonderful because this is the same bookContinue reading “Allow the Holy Spirit to Change You:”

Eating Less and Healthier:

My husband and I have been taking a few steps to get healthier and to focus more on the food we have been eating.  I have never participated in calorie counting before.  I have done a 30 day “clean eating food challenge.”  Essentially this was a month with no added sugars.  Apples or bananas weren’tContinue reading “Eating Less and Healthier:”

Continuing in Faithfulness:

Recently I finished a book called “Daring to Hope,” by Katie Davis Majors.  I have made a few blog posts about the quotes and the insight Katie brought to the table.  I highly recommend this book for her wonderful God insight and inspiration into ministry.  It is important to read books about missionaries with theirContinue reading “Continuing in Faithfulness:”

Thou Shall Not Covet:

As I have mentioned throughout some time, my church has currently been working through the ten commandments as a sermon series.  They finished it up this last week with the last three of the ten commandments, “thou shall not steal,” “thou shall not give false testimony,” and “thou shall not covet.”  This was a greatContinue reading “Thou Shall Not Covet:”

The Place in Which You Inhabit:

I have continued my reading of “Daring to Hope,” by Katie Davis Majors.  This book has really been inspiring.  I have really enjoyed getting to know about her ministry and her work with the women and children in Uganda.  She is very vulnerable and open about all she has been learning and growing in asContinue reading “The Place in Which You Inhabit:”
