Ever had a “pity party”? You may never have called them by that name, but I’m sure you know what I mean. Self pity, despair, and that “Why isn’t life fair?” outlook are attitudes and mindsets to which we’ve all succumbed at times. I’m sorry to say I’ve thrown more than my share of “pity […]

Debbie:
This week God has convicted me that this life is but a passing time. Everything I DO isn’t who I AM- and that in all things I do I must have Him as my centrepiece…as the One Object that is glorified. Not myself. Not my desires. But Him.
Kaitlin:
This week God was very kind to […]

In this post I want to share with you all one of my favorite Psalms written by David.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will […]

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

“But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.” – Isaiah 64:8, ESV
It isn’t uncommon for our daily devotions to get a little dry every now and then, or pushed to the side, especially when we’re busy. However, my […]

When my sister Manda was pregnant, she was nervous.
Understandably so! Yet she was nervous in a way that I could not entirely understand personally. She was nervous that she wouldn’t like the Baby that much. She’s not a kid person. Or a baby person. She had some bad mental images of her single mother constantly […]

Truth be told, there’s a long list of things I try to avoid. I don’t think I’m alone on this. All of us try to “hide” from unpleasant things, don’t we? We hide from annoying people, difficult changes, uncomfortable situations. Our natural inclination is to avoid work, pain, punishment, the truth, sometimes even the future. […]

Whate’er my God ordains is right:
His holy will abideth;
I will be still whate’er He doth
The sovereignty of God is the foundation for much of the Christian faith. As believers we trust that God is leading and guiding us, that he keeps watch over us, and that he ordains our steps. It is an easy doctrine […]

I’m a girl who likes things to make sense. Anyone relate? In all seriousness though, I like to have a reason, explanation and confirmation for everything. When trials come, I like to ask, “God, what is Your purpose for this? What are You trying to teach me?” Yes, that might be great and godly, but […]

I didn’t want to surrender this. The Lord was claiming it—taking it away from me. It was for my good, He told me. But I liked things as they were, and didn’t want to give it up. I didn’t think I would be happy without this thing; didn’t think I could do without it. Yet, […]
