Recently at church, we have been going through the book of James.  Personally, the book of James is one of my favorites.  This last week we were in James chapter 4 verses 13-17 as well as chapter 5 verses 1-6.  The last few verses of chapter 4 discusses our ability to focus a lot onContinue reading “Playing God”

Throughout this last year, I have been reading the Extreme Devotion from the Voice of the Martyrs.  This goes through personal stories of those who were willing to devote their entire life, even if this meant death for the sake of the Gospel.  This has been incredibly inspiring to me, even if I still haveContinue reading “Outspoken Faith:”

In my free time, I have been reading a book titled, “Becoming Elizabeth Elliot.” by Ellen Vaughn.  For those who are not aware of Elizabeth Elliot,  she was a widow of Jim Elliot who was ministering to the people of Waodani in the Amazon region of Ecuador.  He was murdered by the Waodani.  These peopleContinue reading “Spiritual Gratefulness:”

The last few weeks I have talked about fighting temptations and putting on the full armor of God.  It is important to be focused on putting on the full armor of God for ourselves and to pray for other believers to have the full armor of God and to be fighting against temptations and trials. Continue reading “Spending Time with God and my Husband:”

I have been continuing to do some reading about the armor of God for my early morning devotionals.  The book I have been reading has been “Stand Firm: Putting on the Full Armor of God,” by Katie Linstrum.  I have enjoyed the reminders of putting on the armor of God in order to protect ourselvesContinue reading “Fighting Temptations together:”

I have been continuing my study of the book of Job for my early morning devotional time.  This devotional book is called “Sacred Suffering” by Katie Davidson. I have really been enjoying this study, and I have learned a lot so far.  Job was and is always considered a good example to Christians, especially whenContinue reading “Jesus as the Better Job:”

The past two weeks at church have been a bit different than the typical sermons we hear.  My church has been participating in a missions’ conference where they host and hear from many of the missionaries we support throughout the globe.  Some of these are our local missionaries who work on our college campuses nearbyContinue reading “Prayer for our Missionaries:”

I have been doing some studying and reading of the book of Job in the Bible.  This has been a good book to realize how much people, even Christians can suffer in life.  How we choose to live and worship God in this suffering is the important piece.  The book I have been reading isContinue reading “Jesus: The Compassionate Friend:”

I have always been a hobby person, a hobbyist.  I like to do different things in my past.  I have not always been the best at sitting quietly, not doing much of anything.  This has sometimes led me to being too busy.  I have always liked to sing and be in a choir.  I haveContinue reading “Trying Something New:”
