I was working at the Bridge recently, and we were at a neighborhood night.  Neighborhood nights are when we get together at someone’s house to serve the kids and community in that neighborhood food.  It is also a chance to get to know one another and play some games.  We started having a good time. Continue reading “Moving on from Shame:”

Dear Lord,  I want to pray over our youth.  I know that there are some issues that our youth are facing at this moment.  There are many youth advocates, teachers, and parents that are very tired of the kids.  They have a lot of different behaviors that are challenging the ones closest to them.  AsContinue reading “Prayer for our Youth:”

I really want to write.  I want to write books that get published and have devotions that reach a lot of the world.  I love to write.  I love to get my ideas out on paper.  While I don’t always love editing, I love the opportunity to make my writing clearer and better overall forContinue reading “Let it be Your Will:”

Ever since I was a young girl, my favorite woman and, therefore, character, from the Bible (minus Jesus) is Esther.  I remember that I first started loving her story when I watched it in Veggie Tales.  I have read through her story multiple times in the Bible.  It is so wonderful that there is aContinue reading “Esther: The Woman I Most Admire from the Bible:”

I am not a fan of cleaning.  I know a lot of people don’t necessarily like cleaning, while there are some who consider it to be stress-relieving.  However, I am not one of those people.  I will say that I don’t hate it as much as I used to, and I believe that I haveContinue reading “The Importance of Cleaning:”

I have said this before, and I will say it again.  Ever since I started this blog, I have been better at looking around me and finding connections between the Lord and nature. I will look at something and get a message out of it. I know that many people can grow in their relationshipContinue reading “The Power of the Wind:”

There is a famous hymn that says, “On Christ, the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.”  I have heard it many times in the past,  but I have not spent much time reflecting on it until I heard it in a new light and way while reading the book, “Letter toContinue reading “All Other Ground is Sinking Sand:”

I was doing a Bible study recently, and I was learning about King David.  The author of the Bible study guide mentioned that King David, while one with flaws, was his role model.  Then the question was who was my role model.  I realized that I don’t have just one person that I model myContinue reading “My Role Models:”

When I was a kid, I remember my pastor telling stories about times when he would lose his temper, and then he would have to apologize.  He would tell stories about when he would be in various places such as an airport, and he would have a moment of frustration and would snap at anContinue reading “Be Humble enough to Apologize:”

I am a third-year teacher.  Being such, I am very aware of the place where a lot of teachers are, in the United States.  There are many teachers that are wanting to quit their jobs.  There have even been teacher strikes in the state of Minnesota.  This is not just one school or one teacher,Continue reading “Lifting up our children:”
