The Faithful Shepherd
Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Psalm 100:3 Most of us are very familiar with Psalm 23. It is beautiful poetry showing us that God is like a gentle, kind and protective shepherd to...
The Good Shepherd

More Than Enough- Wednesday Week 1
Jehovah Jireh. Yes, He is our provider, but there are times when Christians think this means health, wealth, happiness, ease and comfort. And this line of thinking leads me to ask the question: What about my neighbor here in Uganda, whose husband skips out when it’s...

A New Creation
I can almost see Paul as he finishes the book of Galatians. Like a loving father, he has something important to say and he wants to make sure those who are reading get the magnitude of his words. No longer content to dictate the letter to a scribe, Paul writes...
On Sowing {Week 6}
There are really only two ways about it. Paul lets us know in no uncertain terms that what we sow, we shall reap. In our verses today: "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will...

What real freedom living looks like (hint: it’s not about us)…
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one...
Galatians- Week 5- In Christ, We Are Set FREE!
I am a rule keeper. I LOVE knowing what is expected of me and if I’m meeting those expectations. And if I find out that I’m not, the anxiety begins and I unknowingly go from being a free woman in Christ to an enslaved woman to other people’s expectations and thoughts...

No turning back ~ A Letter to my Children, Part 2…

The Law Has Three Jobs…
As a kid I always liked rules. Not all rules of course, but in general I liked to follow the rules. For me, “law” was not a scary idea. My husband, however, never liked rules as a kid and was breaking the law at a young age. In my mind law was something to obey. It...
