Discipleship

As a young child I cried A LOT.  My nickname was ‘A bucket of water’. (Seriously.) After many years of growing up with older brothers I had no choice but to toughen up.  Rug burns and bruises can do that to a gal, you know.  So over the years I learned to stuff my feelings…

Whether you’re a single woman or a married one, all of us in some way or another deal with insecurities.  I just wish that statement weren’t true, however, that’s just not our reality while we’re living here on planet earth. Writing this post makes me sad because I know that somewhere out in cyberspace there…

I’ve been in full-time ministry for many, many years now. Ministry to my husband. Ministry to my children. Ministry within my home and outside of my home. I’m tired of serving others all in the name of Jesus Christ. I’m tired of being rejected and persecuted for my faith. I’m tired of living through trials…

I recently spent quite a bit of hours and days working on the technical side of this blog, and in case you didn’t know, this on-line space is a ministry.  In a nutshell, here’s what happened.  I updated my old site and then everything went haywire.  But you, dear reader, couldn’t see the issues because…

So, I had a good hair day and I figured I’d make my first video!   Yeah, I’m vain like that.  The great thing about doing the video like this is I didn’t have to prepare a script or recall things from memory while I spoke; I could just remain silent.  I kinda felt like…

I think about that day when He endured the scourging for me. The day when the crown of thorns was pushed upon His head for me. The day when He carried His own cross against His bloodied, torn up, bare back for me. The day when His hands and feet were nailed to the cross…
