Anticipation
My family and I just returned from our vacation to Glacier National Park. Usually, I am a planner and I get everything organized down to the last minute as to what we will do during our vacation. This always leads to the “planned anticipation” of what we are going to be doing each day. Well, this year wasn’t like that at all. Honestly, I wasn’t even anticipating the trip. We had just returned from Arizona from grieving my aunt’s death…

Devotional – August 27, 2020
I am convinced that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ Jesus our Lord: not death or life, not angels or rulers, not present things or future things, not powers or height or depth, or any other thing that is created.” Romans 8:38-39 The book of Romans is the single longest letter in the New Testament. Paul is writing to “God’s beloved in Rome”. In the first chapters of Romans, Paul has laid out a great…

Joy and Peace!
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy. I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” Philippians 6:15 Isn’t it a great feeling when you have a sense of inner peace, even in the middle of hard times? Things around you may be bad and well on their way to worse, but you feel secure on the inside, confident that God is in control and…

Lament Leads to Praise
16 Rejoice always. 17 Pray continually. 18 Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) This passage, and many other scriptures, call the believer to always be in a frame of mind which leads us to praise God. The problem is that we don’t always feel like praise is on our lips, especially when things don’t go the way we expect. Many of you know that the pastoral team lost a friend last…

The Heavy Heart
Lately, the feeling of a heavy heart has invaded my whole world. I have been walking through this season with my bible in hand and eyes seeking what God has planned for the next steps.

Joy in the Morning
Lord, I will give you honor. You brought me out of deep trouble. You didn’t give my enemies the joy of seeing me die. 2 Lord my God, I called out to you for help. And you healed me. 3 Lord, you brought me up from the place of the dead. You kept me from going down into the pit. 4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you who are faithful to him. Praise him, because his name is holy. 5 His anger lasts for only…
