Notice the Miracles Around You
When the excitement and anticipation of the holidays give way to the tedium and monotony of daily routines, look for the miracles. They are there. Miracles Miracles. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about? A virgin mother. God coming to earth as a human baby. Angels proclaiming to shepherds the birth of the Savior. Amazing…
Dance Before the Lord (a Christian’s distinct honor)
We act like fools for our sports teams, our favorite political candidates, and even our children’s activities. Yet when it comes to rejoicing in our God we play it safe. Where we wildly celebrate a World Series win, we become anemic in our celebration of the One who rescued us from our sins. Where we mark in permanent…
How To Find the Best Shelter When Storms of Life Hit
The best shelter isn’t always where you think. The storm had been threatening for the last few hours. Finally, the sky released its fury. The rain and wind pummeled us, but it was the lightening that chased us off the lake. We paddled hard to get to get to shore. Hubby took charge of securing…
The One True Desire of Your Heart
We wrongly think the desire of our heart is found in earthly things. Confession time. Years ago, I used to think worship was relegated to Sunday mornings. In my “convenient faith,” God commanded Sunday mornings, my selfish desires commanded pretty much the rest of the week. I cringe at typing that today. Heart Change Now, I…
Why You Need a Re-Attitude Plan of Action
Some weeks you wish you could do over or skip altogether. I’m not sure which category last week fell into, but it wasn’t easy. For most of January my daughter has not been feeling her best. Her school behavior has reflected that. The most frustrating part is I can’t quite pinpoint what is causing her…

Yet we always have hope in the Lord. He has secured victory. His light will one day chase away the last vestige of…
With God’s Love You Always End on the Right Petal #31DaysofPraise
Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever.” 2 Chronicles 5:13 Chasing Love Us women, we run ourselves ragged chasing love. And it begins early. As little girls with crushes on our daddy. As teens wondering if this first…
Let Me Live… #31DaysofPraise
“Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me.” Psalm 119:175 Life in Christ You give us life, Lord! Not so we can make something of ourselves. Not so we can have fun, make money, and be happy. Those are all fine things in context. But You give us life so…
He Has Done Marvelous Things #31DaysofPraise
“O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.” Isaiah 25:1 O Lord, nothing is accidental with You!

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.
