We Have a Message to Share (Spotlight on Faith Series 3)
God has given us a message to share. It’s good news, the best news ever in fact! So why is it so difficult to tell others about the freedom we can have from sin? If we truly believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven and that through Him people will be set free…
Develop a Grander Picture of Our Global Family (#BookGiveaway)
It’s far-too-easy to get caught up in our own little world and forget we’re a part of a grander picture. Early in my editing career, I obtained a freelance job with a company that published travel guides. This position allowed me to see the world without ever leaving my home. It brought me joy and insight as I…
The Gospel Is Enough: Simply share it
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 In my writing it seems I’m always searching for just the right word, the most clever and clear way…
A Powerful Way to Witness (and Gain New Perspective) #31DaysofPraise
“He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.” Psalm 40:3 This is it! The final post in the 31 Days of Praise series. I have to admit, I’m a bit sad. What a blessing it has been. Thanks for…
Proclaim His Name! #31DaysofPraise
“I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God!” Deuteronomy 32:3 When I take time daily to be reminded of the goodness and truth of the Lord through Bible study and worship, I can’t help but proclaim His greatness. For in the fullness of the Lord, praise pours forth! Reflections: Do you have a…

The One Thing You Need to Know to Flourish Right Where You Are
It is readily apparent that near-endless numbers of plants exist, and they all have slightly different requirements for optimum growth. Cantaloupe produces the best fruit when sowed in sandy soil. Woodland wildflowers thrive in the shade. Apple trees need well-drained soil. Cattails flourish in moist environments. It would be silly to plant a sedge in a desert. And…
How to Live Out a Life of Faith
Driving home with my 13-year-old son after dropping my daughter off at a respite camp weekend, our conversation turned to faith-talk. “Mom, is [Delores] a Christian?” Joey asked. “I … think … so.” Am I Being a Good Witness I responded slowly, not quite sure. My next thought turned to me, to my own witness. …
Hope Is Enough To Light Up the World
I ran across this parable yesterday in a church bulletin in sunny Arizona, where my sister and I are enjoying some time with Mom and Dad. I knew I had to share it with all of you. Be encouraged! THE FOUR CANDLES The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear them…
With Blended Voices
Little children often want to sound like their mom or dad. It’s comical to hear mature words come out of tiny mouths. As they grow, though, children develop their own speech habits and quirks, which we often carry into adulthood. Writers are encouraged to establish their own “voice” as well. Reading would get quite boring…
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.
