The Drug for Hopelessness

04/30/2015

If you are visiting from Proverbs 31 devotions welcome! Hopelessness knocks on every door, even spiritual giants. If we succumb to the temptation to believe there is no hope- hopelessness is given permission to rule us. Hopelessness tempted me at a young age, but God graciously showed me the way of escape. To this day when hopeless thoughts attempt [...]

When Your Plan to Keep out of Trouble- Fails

03/12/2015

Have you ever made a plan to keep out of trouble, but instead found yourself in double trouble? Oh my goodness… That was ME- this week! My daughter got a job 18 hours from home and needed to get there immediately. But, we didn't have a budget for the move. Question: Do we use credit and go into debt? Answer: Avoid debt at ALL COSTS. Keep the goal and stay o[...]

Catch the Foxes

02/27/2015

It was a standoff. The biggest fox I’d ever seen… and me... We've lost countless chickens, ducks, turkeys, and even a couple newborn baby goats to fox attacks. They come to kill, steal, and destroy under the guise of the dark. They can sniff out a bountiful farm a mile away, even sending a few lead foxes to scope out the place before the attack. Then, befor[...]

40 Day No Complaining Fast

02/24/2015

My 40 day fast ended abruptly before my head hit the pillow, on the first day! Yep, my plan was to… fast from complaining. I was pretty excited over the possibility of reigning all those negative thoughts… then I woke up on the first morning- and our pipes had frozen! I stood with my blow dryer, blowing hot air on to pipes while Dale sawed huge holes out of our dr[...]

Called to Be An Eye Witness

02/06/2015

The plane was jam packed- yet an empty seat was right next to me. Ahh, I profusely thanked the Lord, for only He knew how exhausted I really was. I took my boots off... laid my head back, closed my eyes and started to praise God for His graciousness. Twenty minutes into flight a man came up and asked me, “ Can I sit here? There’s a screaming baby back[...]

When God Interrupts Your Plans for His- Just Do it!

01/27/2015

We’d been cooped inside the vehicle way too long! The kids were fighting. Everyone starving... but the good news? We were only 10 minutes from home. Until suddenly I realized... I needed one item from the grocery store. Yeah. . . I reassured them, “I only need one thing and I’ll be out in less than four minutes. I promise. Set the timer!” They wail[...]

Give and It Will Be Given to You

12/17/2014

It was the last weekend before Christmas… I was waiting in the endless line of cars at Union Station in Washington, DC to pick up our daughter, Jennifer. She had traveled from New York City to spend the holiday with us. When our five daughters were teenagers I started the tradition of taking each one individually to pick out their Christmas gift. It served a[...]

Satan’s Weapon of Torture

11/17/2014

“Satan has asked permission to sift you, Sharon” my friend said. My mom who lives with us was in excruciating pain, and she had no one to help her- but me. Same hour, my daughter (who was due to have a baby) called and said that the Dr. was sending her to the hospital because her blood pressure was skyrocketing. She couldn't get a hold of her husband, so I wa[...]

Love- The Antidote for The Poison of Unforgiveness

09/14/2014

If you are visiting from P31's devotion today, welcome! Raging anger morphed him into someone I’d never seen. It was horrible. Just minutes before, we were having a civilized conversation. His body racked with pain. Morphine, alcohol, and other drugs were his best friends. Doctors couldn't find the source of his pain. He looked desperately to me. “Help [...]

Not to act is to act.”Bonhoefer My heart aches for our family (Christians) who are enduring the horrific persecution in Iraq. News stations have reported brutal murders, beheadings, and tormenting acts against Christians living in the country of Iraq. Most [...]

On her Death Bed She Received Eternal Life

08/21/2014

She was alone, dying and in pain. She had no family or friends. She asked the nursing home to call a minister to come pray with her. It was dinner time when I got the call. The smell of grilled, bacon wrapped stuffed chicken filled my house, the sides were ready, mouths were watering, plates were set at the table. The person on the phone said it was urgent that[...]

The Best Yes

08/11/2014

I'm so excited to be a part of my dear friend Lysa Terkeurst's "The Best Yes" blog tour!! Exhaustion is not a condition I’ve been accustomed to in my life. I’ve proudly wore the badge called, TIRELESS. I thought I had successfully made it through the most exhausting years- raising five daughters, homeschooling, managing our own business, livin[...]

WhenTrials Hit Every Area of Your Life

07/10/2014

Are trials literally hitting every area of your life? Often when we suffer, it’s the life of our self-nature that causes us pain. When we are dead, we don’t suffer. If we were completely dead to our old nature we would no longer feel many of the pains that bother us . . . God prepares a cross for us that must be embraced without thought of self-preservation[...]
