Posted on February 24th, 2010 in Devotional

�
“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” Mark 1:35
I was reading Mark 1 this week and noticed the verse above. I was thinking how hard it is to find a solitary place especially in a busy [...]

New Devotional: A Heart Condition

Posted on February 10th, 2010 in Devotional

�
Isn’t it funny how you can say one thing but really think another? How many times do you tell someone that you love their outfit but really think it’s hideous? How many times do you tell someone that everything is ok when it really isn’t?
What is coming out of your mouth?
The good man brings good [...]

New Guest Devotional: The Real You

Posted on January 23rd, 2010 in Devotional

We asked Connie Witter of Because of Jesus Ministries to share with us a devotional from her book, “21 Days to Discover Who You Really Are in Jesus.”
In a world where we tend to define ourselves by the world’s standards, we often feel like we don’t quite measure up. Insecurity, fear, and lack of confidence [...]

Posted on December 25th, 2009 in Devotional

I hope each of you have a very beautiful and blessed Christmas remembering the best gift we were ever given.

Posted on November 20th, 2009 in Devotional

I know many of you are dealing with layoffs and cutbacks right now, we have experienced some of that in our own home as well. I wanted to write a devotional with scriptures to help you stand on the Word as you believe for a raise, promotion and/or a job.
Put these on 3×5 cards and say them [...]

New Devotional: Rejection 101

Posted on October 26th, 2009 in Devotional

This past weekend our small group class at church spoke about rejection and what it felt like to be rejected. The theme stayed in my head all night long so I thought it would be a good topic for a devotional and a chance for me to share some little known information.
For those of you [...]

New Devotional: In the Wilderness

Posted on October 11th, 2009 in 918 Coupon Queen, Devotional

I believe everyone goes through a time of feeling like they are ‘in the wilderness.’ I know I’ve been there. When we went through the hard financial period of literally not having food to eat, I honestly felt like we lived in a desert.

John 14:27
It is so hard, as Christians, to keep our peace when we are sometimes surrounded by turbulent circumstances on every single side. Many [...]
