In Daniel chapter 3, three young men knew their God could do the impossible…but EVEN IF He chose not to, their hope remained in Him. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we

It wasn’t about the sandwich. That may have been where the conversation started…but it wasn’t the real issue. For months I had been hearing about a kid who sits at my son’s lunch table. This particular student doesn’t always have a lunch. Sometimes, he looks around the table and asks the other boys if they

I was having one of those mornings. So after dropping the kids off to school, I went upstairs and sat in my boys’ room to pray. It’s actually my favorite place to pray when I have the house to myself. As my prayer time came to an end, I looked down at my phone and

My twelve year old son reminds me of someone I know. Me. People say we look alike, we definitely act alike, and we even think alike. It’s a little creepy. So I knew this past week’s visit to the orthodontist was not going to be fun. You see, we also share the same hypersensitive gag

Life here on earth doesn’t always turn out the way we plan. But I am grateful that as a follower of Christ, our hope is in Him. “There’s a day that’s drawing near When this darkness breaks to light And the shadows disappear, And my faith shall be my eyes Jesus has overcome, And the

I must confess . Some Sundays are harder than others for me to truly enter into worship. New or unfamiliar songs, crying babies, sitting under a strong air vent or in front of someone singing slightly off key…all cause me to lose focus. And even if my external environment is “perfect,” life’s challenges (past or

Pound the Rock. “When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did

  When my grandmother (Ammachi) was in her twenties, she did the unthinkable. She stepped out, all alone, in faith and left her family’s traditional church in order to follow Jesus in a way she knew He was calling her to. She was questioned about her decision. “Now you won’t even have a proper burial,”

  I remember when my oldest son first began taking piano lessons. Although I loved to hear him practice, I couldn’t wait for him to advance to the good stuff….something with a little more substance (There’s only so much beginner piano music even a mama can handle.) Thankfully, his next piano book incorporated more of
