A Prayer for When Life Hurts Too Much
Sometimes life hurts too much. The pain and weightiness become more than we can handle. It’s then we’re forced to turn to the One who can take it all. The Lord is able, and He is willing to help His children when we surrender our pain to Him. I’m currently in a season that is…
The Death of a Loved One (with great love comes great sorrow)
I didn’t know how my daughter would process Mom’s death. Rachel and Mom shared a close bond, developed through all the years my mother would travel with us to doctor appointments. Everyone deals differently with the death of a loved one. With our girl’s small verbal vocabulary, none of us knew how she was dealing…
Failure or Obedience? (Purposeful Living)
With purposeful living, we can at times feel like we’re failing. At first glance, it looks like I failed at following through with my one word, purposeful, this year. I’ve done very little writing, am spending little time with my husband and daughter, have been sporadic with exercise, seem to be “fitting in” my quiet…
Wait on the Lord (Spotlight on Faith Series 4)
One of the greatest acts of faith is to wait on the Lord, trusting Him with an outcome that seems impossible. And He always comes through. We always seem to be waiting for something. Sometimes good things, sometimes difficult things. But the important thing is that we look to God in our waiting. When we…
Purposeful Living (walking out the life God gives) {One Word 2022}
Our days hold more importance than we may realize. Each one is ordained by the Lord to fulfill His purpose, and we have a part in that plan as long as we have breath. Let’s live a purposeful life for God. The older I get, the more intentional I want to be with my time.…
Trust God With Your Best (Spotlight on Faith Series 2)
I love the Lord. I say I trust God. But do my actions always show that trust? The Lord is a jealous God, desiring our undivided devotion, a devotion that gives Him our first, our best, our all. But if I’m honest, instead of giving the Lord my best, I’m often giving Him what’s left.…
Path to Amazing Faith (Spotlight on Faith Series 1)
What does it mean to have amazing faith? “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe” (John 20:29b) Faith or Sight If you’re anything like me, you strive to know and understand the details of a situation before moving ahead. I’m that way with most things. I want the top deal, the best outcome, the…
Let Your Weakness Display God’s Strength
I hate admitting when I’m weak. But what if our weaknesses display God’s strength? Shouldn’t we use those opportunities to point others to Him? Talking to my friend, my throat tightened. I struggled to contain the threatening tears as I replayed my own circumstances. Life proved hard once again. Yet with a knock on the…
Believe, Even When You Cannot See
God uses our strengths, but just as effectively, He uses our weaknesses. And trusting Him in our weakness is living out our faith in its truest form. It’s saying we believe, even when things don’t look so promising. The easy, the comfortable, the known, that’s where we want to be … and stay. We don’t…
Be My All, Lord! (He Is Enough)
Some mornings, I don’t have what it takes for the day, but the Lord does, and He promises to be enough for me and you, to be our all. Light of Day Early mornings often bring me peace. As dawn ushers in a new day, the light begins to push away the dark: the promise…
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.
