We sat together, a group of women ranging in age from young mommy to less young with grown children (like me), around several tables pushed in to make one. The chatter was bountiful as we brightened our doodle sheets with many colors. The word LOVE was sketched vertically down the black and white page our … More O Lord, I’m tired…
You might argue that I don’t know you. I don’t know where you’ve been. Maybe you would counter with the truth that I don’t know what you’ve done in the past or how you are living today. I pretty much know the arguments by heart because most of them were my own arguments to refute the idea God could love me. … More If I had only one chance…
Welcome to Saturday Share! The purpose of this weekly feature is to provide a space for regular people to share their real-life encounters with Jesus. It’s about living in the middle – on the way to the finish line. If we still have breath to tell our stories then our race isn’t finished. I believe … More Saturday Share with Bettie Gilbert
“What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it … More Just stop all the fussin’
We need a broader understanding of what it means to be heroic. A brave person is not made in a single moment, on center stage, but in the thousands of little choices that go unseen by all by God. For me, bravery is built every time I choose to walk into a room believing that I am a daughter of the King. … More Saturday Share with Marie Gregg
“We need other people in our lives to thrive emotionally and spiritually. Without friends and family to interact with, our minds begin to decay. In fact, studies have shown that feeling lonely is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s.” … More Book Review: Stones of Remembrance by Daniel G. Amen, MD
The title intrigued me first – Walking on Water – in reference to Peter’s bold request to walk out on the stormy sea to meet Jesus in the darkness. The subtitle also caught my attention – experiencing a life of miracles, courageous faith, and union with God – because this is where I’m walking in my real life. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t need a miracle or courageous faith or union with God. Certainly, I need all of the above.
Jennifer A. Miskov did not disappoint as she boldly and honestly shares her journey with Jesus into deeper water and stormy seas resulting in a more intimate trusting and productive walk of faith.
In addition to the power of scripture combined with Jennifer’s real-life testimony, she offers activation exercises at the end of each chapter. These life applications of scripture caused me to pause and ask Holy Spirit for deeper application of God’s word in my life. My journey through Jennifer’s book has been interactive and life-changing. I can’t wait to pass this book to a friend and recommend it to many others. Most likely, Walking on Water will be a Christmas present or birthday gift for family and friends in the near future. … More Book Review: Walking on Water by Jennifer A. Miskov, Ph.D.
Welcome to this week’s Five Minute Friday writing opportunity! I’m thrilled with Kate’s word selection this week because I’ve actually been pondering much on {silence} this whole week. So much have I been challenged by this idea of seeking silence that I committed to obtain 15 minutes of this precious commodity each day for 21 days. … More FMF: Silence is golden
We have to remember the truth of Who God is, and who we are redeemed in Him. We need to remember the seed of His word sewn deep in the soil of our hearts. We choose to resist the devil and draw near to God. We yield our dry hearts to receive His Living water and in time the harvest will come again. … More Day 30: I yield & You {refine}
