True joy at Advent is not found in fleeting comforts, but in abiding in the presence of Jesus Christ—the One who came to make our joy complete.

Like biblical and historic figures, we are on a journey. Without hope, we would be lost.
The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Grateful
As Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself waking up each day and recognizing I have so much to be grateful for. It is a lot. Not just materially, but emotionally, spiritually, and physically. So why does my heart still grumble?
A Tribute to My Mom
I said a final see you later to my mom last Saturday. These are only a few thoughts about her life and legacy. She was an amazing woman of faith. I am blessed to have called her mom.

The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Faithful

He let me have my say, and then reminded me that He too offers comfort that is rejected out of hand.

Explore how the God of all comfort meets us in our brokenness with Scripture, grace, and healing. A personal devotional on finding comfort in Christ when nothing else soothes the soul
The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Free
While we celebrate the freedom we have in our country this week, let us not forget that our true freedom comes in knowing that this life is a only a bump in the road compared to eternity, and our physical address has “Temporary Home” stamped on the mailbox. Heaven is our home. It is where we will find perfect and eternal freedom. When we are with the Lord, our souls will no longer have an un-quenched longing for freedom and independence. We will finally be free, free at last.

When God Became My Daddy
The greatest gift my earthly father gave me was to point me to my Heavenly Father. The greatest gift I can give my father for Father’s Day is to live my life for the One who gave His life for me.
The Be-Attitudes of the Christian Walk ~ Be Humble
God equips each of us differently. Some may lead. Some serve by praying. Others clean and care for the physical needs of the church. But we ALL serve and must humbly accept the work He has created us to do.
