I Will, Will You? (a faith prayer)
I want to follow God wherever He asks me to go, but it can be so hard. In the middle of chaos and the weariness of life, I can forget that it’s always safe to say “I will” to God. That’s where a faith prayer can be helpful. “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But…

When Darkness Threatens (Power of Prayer)
ISIS. Beheadings. Nepal earthquake. Riots. I lay in bed and darkness crept in, literally and figuratively, as my mind settled on the unsettling.

What To Do When You are Frustrated With Your Walk of Faith
“Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.” ~Martin Luther I used to think I knew God. I knew who He was. What He did for me. How He wanted me to conduct myself. Years later, I realize I never really…

Reflections and Projections (Christmas Prayer)
It’s been a wonderful, full year. One of many blessings, yet not without its share of frustrations and difficulties as well. Not much different from yours, I’m sure.

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.
