Holding Tightly to Hope
Nothing God does is done in a vacuum and without purpose. Nothing! Everything He does has a plan, purpose, and intent. Even though we know that God is completely in control, it is also ok to ask, “Father, what are you doing?” Hope Against All Odds The world was in...

Week 7 – A Life of Prayer
Welcome to week 7 of our Psalm 119 study. I am so excited that you are hanging in there because we are nearing the finish line! Only two more weeks left in this study... This Psalm is just filled with emotion. The author holds nothing back. He praises God and he pours...
{Friday ~ Week 6} His Righteousness is Forever…
I spent a few days earlier this week having a little pity party for myself. Yes, I know what you are thinking. I'm not under ten years old, and this is not appropriate behavior for a grown woman, let alone a missionary. But there it is. The story is this: I was...
Women of Faith VIP Tickets Giveaway & Special Announcement!
I just wanted women to know that God loves them. In the beginning it really was just that simple, because we all need to be reminded of that truth, don’t we? I believe there is a longing deep inside each one of our hearts - a longing to be loved and cherished for who...
Fleeing Fast Food Spirituality…
Wanna know a terrible secret of mine? I like french fries. What's worse? The more salt on them, the better. When I was pregnant with my first baby, they were my quick go-to snack when I could no longer ignore those impatient hunger cravings that came on without...
I am the Psalmist…
I am the Psalmist. I too have a history of crying out to God, reminding Him of all that I do for Him and asking Him the “whens” and the “whys”... When Lord? When will you avenge? Why Lord? Why have you allowed this? And I too have a history of telling Him when He...
Christ, Our Hiding Place…
I have always had a fascination with castles. It is a wonder that men could build such beautiful and strong structures without our modern technological advances. Something that has always fascinated me are the secret rooms and passages common in castles. Such hidden...
Digging and running to the very end…
“What a precious treasure is the Word of God! It is like a deep mine filled with gold, silver, and precious gems, and we must take time to 'dig' for these treasures. A mere surface reading of Scripture will not put spiritual treasure in our hearts. Mining treasure is...
God’s Word in the Mundane…
"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" ~ Psalm 119:103 My kids asked me a serious question: "How do you know that guy in the drive-thru?" Ha. "I don't really," I said. Except for I do - sort of. He's eighteen, and he's working almost...
God’s Word – Our Light When Life Is Dark…
I know all of us have had days, weeks, and months of hardship. I am talking about days when it is hard to focus on a task because of worry, and nights that rob us of sleep. Sometimes these hard times seem to drag on and on. After some weeks we feel emotionally worn...
Crying Out To God…
Seeking, longing, searching… this poor Psalmist is waiting on the Lord to deliver him from this affliction. He is trying to remain strong, but he is growing weary, feeling as though he could faint. His eyes are tired from looking for glimpses of God. Have you ever...

When Fear Grips Us…
“Mama… I can’t sleep. I’m so afraid. So afraid something bad is going to happen to all of us," she says with tears streaming down her beautiful face. Fear. This sweet girl of mine has recently been struggling with a crippling fear that something bad is going to happen...
I will rise up and give you thanks…
The generator had been shut down hours before. Funny how many things you can hear in the middle of the night without the hum of electricity drowning out the sounds of the earth. I was twenty-one and wide awake in a foreign land, and God had met me there. Of course he...
God’s Word, Our Comfort…
Welcome to week 3 of our Psalm 119 study! What do you run to for comfort? For me it is people. If I am sad or scared or worried or discouraged I go to my husband or friends. But people are not the only source of comfort, right? Some seek comfort in their money,...
Revive Me- Psalm 119:25-48
Revive. It stirs up strong feelings of desire for me. In Psalm 119:25, it says, "My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to your Word." In other versions it uses words like "quicken" and "give me life," but revive brings about a beautiful word picture....
Looking for contentment in all the wrong places…
Perhaps one of the most challenging yet rewarding roads to spiritual health is the discipline of single-minded satisfaction on what has come from God's hand. And the best way to safeguard your contentment in Christ is to ask the Holy Spirit to whisper Psalm 119 into...
Psalm 119 Week 2: When You Are Down In The Dust of Life…
I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws. (Psalm 119:30) Have you ever felt like the Psalmist… like you were laid low in the dust, begging God to preserve your life? I know I have at different times in my life. Maybe it was the divorce papers...
The Source Of Our Joy
All people have a natural desire to be happy. This is built into us by our Maker himself. The desire to be happy is not a problem. The problem is that we tend to search for this happiness in the wrong places. We think, “If only I could be married, then I will be...
Make Time for God
I’ll be really honest with you - I can tell when I haven’t been in God’s Word like I should. Stress and fears begin to cloud my mind and instead of meditating on Scripture, I begin meditating on the “what ifs” of life. The focus of my life begins to shift from God to...
Psalm 119 {Week 1} ~ An Invitation for the Thirsty…
"Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart..." ~ Psalm 119:2 As I dug into the dirt, sweat poured from every inch of my body. Indiana humidity at its finest. It's pretty rare for me to find myself alone in my back yard with no children...
