I have started to look at a devotional book from the Daily Grace company about the different hymns that have been created and written to give praise to our great Savior, Jesus Christ.  The hymns, like many of the texts and the psalms, found in the Bible are speaking from the heart and are praiseContinue reading “Such a Glorious Friend:”

There are a lot of lessons that can be learned from the people of the Bible, especially the women in the Bible.  The Bible is filled with complex characters.  If you really want to learn how to write a character in a novel, turn to the Bible.  There is no shying away from the character’sContinue reading “Still a Reason to Praise:”

My life has certainly revolved around running these last few weeks.  I trained hard and completed my half marathon recently, and I have been in a heavy competition season with my cross country team.  We had the conference meet and recently districts.  I am a very happy and proud coach to say that the girlsContinue reading “Run Your Race:”

I work with the cross country team at my school, and this has been an exciting season.  We are having a lot of success.  I love cross country, even when we are not having the most successful season.  However, it has been really good because we are a very small school, and we often doContinue reading “Be Bold:”

I love to run.  I love to put my headphones in my ears and enjoy the atmosphere around me.  I love when the weather is temperate and I can feel the fresh air.  I don’t just love the feeling of running after I finish, but the actual feel of running itself.  I love setting runningContinue reading “The Importance of a Strong Mindset:”

Today is October 9, which is my grandpa’s birthday, even though the last couple of years have been his heavenly birthday.  Today if he was alive, he would have been 73 years old.  This would be kind of nice because his birthday would have landed on a Sunday.  We would have probably gotten together asContinue reading “Cement is an Ingredient in Concrete:”

I have watched/listened to two recent events that have led me to realize we sometimes can try to force God’s promises to happen.  We can know God’s promises, and instead of trusting that he will keep his promises, we instead believe we need to somehow do the work that only he can do.  Neither oneContinue reading “Let God’s Promises Happen:”

Recently I have been reading the book of Job in the Bible during my devotionals in the morning.  I knew the book of Job was a good representation of how to act when in suffering, but rereading this book after I have experienced some of my own trials, I am even more invested and haveContinue reading “The Truths from Job:”

I love to read! I enjoy holding a book and enjoying the story that envelopes from the pages.  One of the many reasons I love to write is because I want others to be as inspired by the words I put on a page as I have been with countless other authors and writers.  IContinue reading “Learning from the books we read:”

My mind races a lot.  I can think about many different things at one time.  I know it is because I keep myself busy, and I like to keep busy.  However, I struggle to be distracted with my thoughts, even while I am spending time in my Bible Study and while at church.  This isContinue reading “Being Distracted in the House of the Lord:”
