This week we’re going to focus on three verses that I pray serve as a foundation of freedom for you this year. I’ll keep my personal thoughts limited and just ask you to pray and meditate over each scripture passage. Look each up in different translations, read the full chapter, write each as a prayerContinue reading “Freedom: Worship, Spirit, Truth”

As we conclude our Christmas celebrations and transition into New Year’s, I pray the shift is subtle. Why?  Because Jesus came for the new, and these two holidays could beautifully align. Yet the patterns of this world (Romans 12:1-2) seem to diminish the connection between Christmas and the new year. While the world tells usContinue reading “Let’s Be Free in ’23!”

This Advent season, we choose hope, enjoy peace, give and receive joy, and live in love! (Check out our previous Weekly Updates for more on each.)

To fully grasp our Living Hope in Jesus, let’s apply this eternal hope to various realities and explore His Word.  While this Hope is a gift from God, we must choose and live in Hope! To choose hope, we remember His faithfulness inContinue reading “Advent: We Choose Hope!”

Last post we shared about receiving . . . inviting, praying, and listening to Him is a great way to receive. A dear friend shared a tool from her church called ISLA.  It’s an acronym for prayer and hearing from the Lord.  It’s simple yet supernatural . . . I – INVITE: Invite God intoContinue reading “Invite, Pray, & Listen to Him”

There are plenty of sayings about being a joyful giver and how it’s better to give than to receive, but can we chat a bit about receiving?  Specifically receiving the Lord’s love and truth and grace and correction and freedom.   In this season, we may feel like we’re giving and giving and giving.  SoContinue reading “Give & Receive”

Mixed nuts.  Protein bars.  Smoothies.  Pasta sauce or soups filled with veggies. Just keep the veggies and proteinContinue reading “Eat Veggies & Protein”
