Don’t Leave an Open Door for Your Enemy

06/18/2014

I thought I was all alone but there were noises coming from the cellar. I was too afraid to open the door. . . so I didn’t. I continued to type and then from the corner of my eye, I saw something move. I gulped and bravely looked to see him staring at me from the cellar door. Fear grabbed me and then I ran outside and screamed for Dale. The six-foot snake still[...]

When the Storms Rage and the Winds Blow on Your House

01/03/2014

The howling, frigid wind whipped and beat the house mercilessly last night. The old spruce tree bent and screeched against the house so much I couldn’t go back to sleep. Sometimes it’s good to be awakened in middle of a storm and listen. Listen to what you can’t normally hear. You know, the deep things, things you can’t hear on a quiet, calm night. So, I tal[...]

Overcoming Fear

07/17/2013

This past weekend while mowing, I rode down the path that leads to the edge of the woods. I turned off the motor and sat… I could hear a symphony of crickets and frogs making music. I saw deer and bunnies grazing—it was breathtaking. A year ago that very path had been where I walked and met God at the beginning of my day. I could pray out loud and no one could[...]

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 [...]

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[...]

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 [...]

There is Power in the Name of Jesus

10/05/2012

There is power in the Name of Jesus There is power in the Name of Jesus! One day, one glorious day at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD! Philippians 2:10-11 I had to get up and run around the house after I wrote those words! Until that day He has given believers authority to use the name of Jesus wi[...]

When Hell Seems to Come Against You, Be an Overcomer!

09/18/2012

Have you ever felt like hell was coming against you? I don’t make that statement often. But last week...well, it was a humdinger if you know what I mean. Someone stole Dale’s identity, opened credit card accounts, used existing accounts, and racked up thousands upon thousands of dollars in his name. We immediately alerted Experian, our bank and th[...]

Milking a Goat and Benefits of Unpasteurized Milk

07/11/2012

[tentblogger-vimeo 44214395] Today, I’d like for you to join me as we milk our goats! Watch this video, and you’ll be able to learn how to milk a goat yourself. One of the stories that I read that really made me want to try milking goats and having raw milk, was the story that happened in the 1300’s. The Bubonic plague came and hit Europe and killed 25 million peo[...]

The 30 Day Journey to Power

05/16/2012

I got the most amazing gift in the mail. It was from a woman who was at a conference that I spoke at a little over a month ago. I had challenged the audience to read every day for a month: Ephesians 1 and 3 and John 17: 20-26, Jesus’ last will and testament. This woman DID it. She then journaled the experience and sent me her journal. She had also t[...]
