shaped by faith

Having no electricity is frustrating enough, I better make sure I'm tapped into my true energy source!

A few days ago, my dear grandmother passed on to receive her heavenly reward.  Her spirit left this world exactly how she had wanted, in her own bed, surrounded by family, and in peaceful sleep.  She will be terribly missed, but we rejoice for her.

A rainy Labor Day Weekend is a bit of a bummer, but there's still reason to rejoice.

This week I have felt very tired, and my face shows it.  There are dark circles under my dull eyes, my skin is worn, and the corners of my mouth droop.

We have only been back in school a couple weeks, and the whole family is already worn out.

So after finding a hole in my net, God used Proverbs 11:24 to convict my heart that I was being greedy to guard my strawberries from the squirrels.

Squirrels have been stealing my strawberries all summer long, so I shouldn't feel selfish for guarding them, right?

My heart dropped when my son got on the bus for the very first time and had to sit in the back with the big kids.

Scripture : Life :: Eyeglasses : Vision

I used to think of idols as little ceramic dolls from Bible times to which people would pray.  I believed the lie that idols no longer exist.
