The One Thing that Needs to be Done Right Now
For everything there is a season, and a time for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 And sometimes that time is not right now. This is what I have been trying to grasp lately-the realization that while I may think I can juggle every thing I have to accomplish, I really can’t do it all. And,…

How Are You Spending Your Time?
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 It’s been another busy day. In the last month or so, I have made trips to work, to home, and back again for various appointments and engagements in order to ensure our family is…

I’ll Take a Portion of Him, Please…
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore, I will hope in Him.” Lamentations 3:22-24 I am pretty good at hiding. I am not talking the hide and seek game…

You Can’t Get Over the Mountain If You Are Having a Pity Party at the Bottom!

So, it must be something about the flat,…

Broken Down at Wits End
The Lord rescues the godly, he is their fortress in times of trouble. Psalm 37:39 It has been yet another snow day. Another day when the kids have been out of school. Our old dog has managed to not make it outside twice to use the bathroom. Two cups of milk have been spilled on…

Satan, Back Off! I’m a Child of God!
“Stay alert! Watch out for the great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 That devil…oh, he is a sly one. Just as God knows our strengths and weaknesses, the devil does as well. He seeks us when we are at our most vulnerable,…

A Raging Battle in My Closet
I have a confession to make. My name is January, and I am a shopaholic. I confess that at times I crave a good sale, a new pair of shoes, and a designer dud at a thrift store price. I have even found myself justifying my purchases to God…because if I am shopping at Goodwill,…

One of My Favorite Verses
I recently joined an on-line Bible study sponsored by Proverbs 31 ministries at the urging of a fellow Christian sister. During the study we will be reading and reflecting on the book Made to Crave by Lysa TerKeurst. I had read the book at a church bible study previously, but cannot honestly say that I…
