Let the Holy Spirit Lead and Be Empowered in Your Walk of Faith
Fingers poised over the keyboard, I said a silent prayer. Lord, give me the right words to say. Not my words but yours.

Why Do I Feel Unfulfilled? (Living an Abundant Life)
I have plentiful work I can do from home that pays well. But that doesn’t bring an abundant life. I live in a state park. But that doesn’t bring an abundant life. I am blessed with a husband devoted to his family. But that doesn’t bring an abundant life. I have four children who are generally kind and…
Words of Empowerment for When You Feel Inadequate {printable}
My frustration grew. The school van drew near, yet my daughter struggled to get dressed because her fingers kept slipping through the holes in her shirtsleeves (yes, believe it or not, manufactured holes!). No matter how much I coached and reminded, she just couldn’t seem to keep from slipping into those holes. Wow, can I relate! Feeling…

I sat with some ladies at a meeting the other day and was asked to share a little of what was going on in my life. After I finished, an elderly lady felt led to give an account of her family’s struggles. In the past year, herself, her daughter, and her granddaughter had all been…

Holy Healing: the Greatest Sacrifice
Chances are you have experienced affliction and sorrow you never expected: intense pain that reaches deep into your souls, leaving you dry and withered, groaning for relief. You long for healing. I’ve read and heard accounts of suffering that left me staggering. Stories of horror unimagined. However, none left more of a mark on my…
He Is Enough
Yesterday, I traveled across the country to beautiful North Carolina to attend my first-ever writer’s/speaker’s conference: She Speaks. From everything I’ve been hearing, it is a wonderful conference imparting a wealth of information, love and encouragement. The conference hasn’t even started yet, and I’ve met some beautiful new friends who love the Lord and feel…
Declaring God’s Glory
The view was spectacular! As we drove through the winding roads of western Wisconsin, Daniel and I were captivated by gorgeous vistas. The various green shades of the trees intermingled with the sky blues and the wisps of cloud white. Later as evening began to descend on us, the brilliance of a full moon illuminated…

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.

May the posts and pages on this site offer you a measure of peace and encouragement.
