The Lord Waits…for You and Me
The Lord waits for you and me to turn to Him with our daily needs. What are we waiting for? “If I can just touch His robe, I’ll be made well!”(Matthew 9:21). I reach out to Him for strength and then jerk back. Uncertain. Uncertain of what, I’m not sure. What do I have to…
Giving Our Final Mite
She willed her legs to carry her silently across the threshing floor, his sleeping form barely visible in the darkness of the night. With trembling hands, she reached for his cloak, uncovered his feet, and lay down. The smell of barley filled her senses. Her racing heart began to settle: “Perhaps all would be well…
God-First Response
When I finally accepted I was losing my first baby through miscarriage, my desire was to be alone. Feeling completely isolated in my grief, I was certain no one else could relate, and definitely no one could make it right. Therefore, I chose to walk the dark road of despair solo. I wallowed in the mire…
New Year of Boldness
Have you ever been there … in my shoes? Have you ever been sure of a path and excited to find out where it leads but at the same time terrified of what lies around each bend? That’s where I find myself at the outset of this New Year. God used last year to make…
Reflecting Back, Projecting Forward
Looking back on 2011, I am reminded of times of joy and those of sorrow. I wept at the loss of loved ones and rejoiced with new additions to the family. I celebrated time away with my husband and reveled in a wonderful trip with our children. Gratitude flowed when the Lord intervened and spared…
Not My Will, But His
“Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations? Did you know that your baby boy is Heaven’s perfect lamb?” (Mary Did You Know? Lyrics by Mark Lowry) How much did Mary know about her firstborn’s ministry? It was revealed to her that she would birth the Son of God,…
Getting a Jump Start
On my morning walk in the near-deserted, late-fall campground, I ran into a couple of men with a problem. They had left their car lights on while camping overnight and the battery was dead. The men did try a portable jump starter, but it lacked the power to turn the car over. Happy to help,…
5 Minute Growth
Okay, I am trying something new here, and it is very scary! Every Friday, The Gypsy Mama hosts 5 Minute Friday where bloggers write for 5 minutes straight about a subject and then post it without making any changes or edits. This is particularly difficult for me because as an editor, I am wired to…
Following Unbound
I say I believe in Him. I say I trust Him. I say I love Him. So why is it so difficult to follow Him? It amazes me that the disciples didn’t hesitate or question Jesus more when He called them to be His companions and pupils! I imagine myself there, in front of the…

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.
