A Life of Faith- George Muller

04/19/2013

There is no greater life than a life lived by faith. It is so powerful that even with a tiny amount of it, nothing is impossible to us (Matthew 17:20). Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards thos[...]

A Legacy of Faith

04/17/2013

This week Proverbs 31 Ministries is focusing on women who have left a faith legacy in our lives. As you read about a woman who has inspired me, think about who has left a legacy in your life and whether you are leaving a faith legacy behind by the way you live. The words we speak and the way we live can alter another person’s life for eternity. I’ll never fo[...]

A Simple Family Passover (Seder) Supper

03/27/2013

We celebrate the Passover (Seder) meal on Thursday or Friday evening before Easter. We've made it simple so that it would never be too hard to do. A traditional Seder meal is long. In celebrating this feast we are honoring a feast, instituted by God and celebrated by Jesus himself. “Because Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed for us; therefore, let us [...]

A Burning Fire in My Bones

03/21/2013

This past weekend I spoke at three different churches. As I walked to the podium at the first event I started to cry when I saw the large audience. Every time I speak I am reminded of where I came from and how He uses me in spite of myself. I was painfully shy as a child. I was so shy that I rarely spoke at school and had very few friends. I mean in order to hav[...]

The Supper Table

03/20/2013

Post written by our daughter Hannah Glasgow Easter. I took it off her blog today, enjoy! You can find her at http://hannaheaster.blogspot.com “It’s time to eat!!!” My mom would cry as she clanked the cowbell with her sturdy spoon. By the third time, she could start to make out the barefooted tornado of dirt, curls, and laughter migrating towards her. As hard as it [...]

Ten Invaluable Christian Books

02/28/2013

A great book is invaluable. There are a few in my collection that I return to over and over and can’t imagine being without. These books are worth more to me than great grandma’s antique china! Do you know what I’m saying? If I had to depart with all my worldly goods and could only keep one thing it would be a stack of my favorite books. Monday night I was the [...]

My One Word

02/20/2013

After reading the book, My One Word by Michael Ashcraft and (my friend) Rachel Olsen, I’ve decided that my one word for this year is; Love. This year, I’m going to be more intentional in my time with God to focus on- love. I want to burn with love for Jesus. I want to cross over into the next level of glory in loving Him the way He loves me. I want to love Hi[...]

In His Presence- Present

02/01/2013

I stared at my computer without an ounce of enthusiasm or creativity. A mountain of work beckoned me… With already missed deadlines, bills to be paid, taxes to be done, text messages waiting for answers, dishes in the sink… Then a phone call halted all of it and paralyzed my ability to do anything productive. I prayed, but it didn’t help. I couldn’t focus[...]

Love is As Strong as Death

01/16/2013

"Love is as strong as death. . ." Song of Solomon 8:6 True love is passionate, unquenchable, fiery and devoted at all cost. We galloped through an open field on our horses, then slowed to a trot and talked while riding side by side. Our conversation went from one level of glory to the next. It was heavenly. I had never told anyone the dreams of my heart, [...]

God’s Strength, Peace and Power in Middle of Hardship

12/17/2012

If you’re visiting me today because you read the Encouragement for Today devotion…Welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by. You can find the devotion at http://www.proverbs31.org/devotions/hardest-days-god-uses-them-good-2012-12/. Hardships are never welcome, especially at the holidays. Why can’t we just push pause on all sickness, death, money problems and tragedy [...]

The Rich Home

12/05/2012

The Queen of Sheba was wealthy and beautiful. She had everything a queen could want - gold, silver, ivory, precious jewels and servants taking care of all her needs. Well, almost everything. She'd heard about the famous King Solomon (I Kings 10:1) and his miraculous God. Even though her people had many gods to worship, none intrigued her like the Lord God of[...]

Entertaining Angels Unaware

11/27/2012

I was sixteen years old, driving down the road and saw an old homeless lady sitting on a bench. The blistering heat kept the rest of the world inside air-conditioned buildings that day-but not her. As I drove past her, I felt this tug at my heart—I thought to myself, she could use an ice cream cone and company. I asked her what her favorite flavor was. She said, “Van[...]

Thanksgiving Day- Let’s Celebrate like the Pilgrims

11/20/2012

Our first semblance of Thanksgiving was in 1621 after the colonist first harvest at Plymouth. The Wampanoag Indians were invited to join the celebration with food as the colonist lifted their hands toward heaven and thanked God for His protection and provisions in their new country. The pilgrims invited people outside of their own tribe and were not ashamed to make [...]

He Restored us After Our Loss

11/05/2012

This past weekend November 4th was our very first grandchild’s 4th birthday. Grace Evangeline Young. I love that name, don’t you? Every grandchild is special, but she was especially special because we had waited so long for her arrival. Her mommy and daddy, Heather and Jeffrey, had been high school sweethearts—homecoming King and Queen. They graduated hi[...]

Sorcery, Mediums and Witchcraft

10/30/2012

Standing at my door was a girl I had known since 1st grade. At 8 years-old she had a fascination with magic, mediums and consulting the dead in séances. As a child I had never heard what God thought about these things, it just wasn’t talked about in my church. I didn’t know for sure that it was wrong but I felt it wasn’t right and never participated in her lifestyle. [...]
