Dance Before the Lord (a Christian’s distinct honor)
We act like fools for our sports teams, our favorite political candidates, and even our children’s activities. Yet when it comes to rejoicing in our God we play it safe. Where we wildly celebrate a World Series win, we become anemic in our celebration of the One who rescued us from our sins. Where we mark in permanent…

Experience the Fullness of God
“Mom did much of the leg work for me. She really did a lot.” Tears sprang to his mama’s eyes as this 6-ft-something 17 year old praised her efforts on his behalf. He didn’t directly thank her. He didn’t have to. His recognition of and public praise for all she had done for him held…
When You Want to do Great and Glorious Things (Delight God)
Can I be honest with you? I have a history of feeling I’ve not done enough or not done something well enough. In response, I strive to do more. In fact, if I’m not proactive, my daily to-do list becomes miles long; I stew about decisions and answers far longer than is healthy; I tend to…
Believe in God’s Love for You (review of “66 Ways God Loves You”)
I’ve never heard my 18-year-old daughter say, “I love you.” Not with her own voice. She can’t. Her severe speech disability prevents that exchange. It’d be delightful to hear those words from her. However, I never doubt her love for me. Not a day goes by that she does not express it in a tangible, meaningful way. Looking for Love…
Find Satisfaction in Your Day
Everyday life has a way of zapping the joy and peace right out of a soul. If we’re not diligent, satisfaction will flee and we’ll be left living a hollow existence. About a month ago, I jotted down a Scripture verse on a card and set it on my nightstand where it would be easily accessible. It’s…

Learning to praise our Creator will bring greater peace into our lives. Search for Peace I’ve been searching for peace in a world filled with interruptions, heartaches, and pain. Most of us are. I began, like too many, looking in the wrong places. I looked to others. I looked to things I consumed. I looked to myself.…
Why We Need To Get Rid of the Junk (in our hearts as well as our homes)
Letting junk accumulate in our hearts keeps us from living in the freedom Christ has secured. Rummaging through my clothes pile, I frantically searched for the mate to the shoes I wanted to wear. It had disappeared into the black hole of my closet. Out of time, I grabbed another pair and rushed out the…
Love: The One Thing That Will Get You Through the Fiercest Storm
Sometimes we simply need to know we’re loved. Love is that one thing that can carry us through the fiercest storm. There he lay. Propped on his side, that little plastic penguin seemed to mock the weight of my sadness. Less than an hour earlier my usually happy daughter had thrown this favorite little toy in anger (or was…
When Our Dreams Seem Too Big (live fully)
Sometimes the dreams God’s laid on our hearts seem too big to ever be possible. It’s then we know we’re walking by sight, not faith. I’ve learned much from raising a child who has significant disabilities. One lesson that stands out is don’t believe everything you see or are told. We often have false perceptions. Because perceiving involves observing,…
Hello, I'm Julie, an imperfect wife and mother of four. Life in this broken world is not always easy. Yet, joy can be found in each day through the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I find it's easy for our day's blessings to get lost in its happenings. But God's "mercies never end" (Lamentations 3:22) and His "grace is sufficient" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
May the posts and pages on this site offer you a measure of peace and encouragement.
