Perspectives from a Christian Mom

04/06/12Easter BlessingsEaster is another of those Christian holidays, like Christmas, that frustrate me. Our world always adds traditions that detract from the true meaning of the holiday. I have always tried to make sure that we emphasize the "reason for the season" in as many ways as possible. |

03/24/12Lean on MeWe can see that if we focus on the storm, it is a quick progression to sinking into it. But we CAN have faith to walk on the water and we can be calm in the storm...IF we know the One who is in the boat with us. |

03/10/12Fear NotChristians and non-christians alike are struggling to manage their fear. Some paralyzed by fear. But should this be the case? Should we be handling our fear the same as unbelievers? God's Word says we are to FEAR NOT...but how, when life has so many reasons to fear? |

02/04/12A Cool God StoryAs Naun came to my house that Friday morning to work on my plumbing, I asked, “Do you have any cool God stories? I do! Can't wait to tell you! He said, 'Do I ever!' “ As we shared, we both were in amazement at ALL that had happened on that Wednesday...when we were up before the sun, seeking God...and God was searching hearts...to strongly support ALL whose hearts were completely His. |

01/28/12Who do you need God to be today?Do you ever wonder if God really knows the details of your thoughts and the burdens in your soul? Do you wonder if He really cares, hears your prayers, or can answer you? Here's an amazing story that should convince you to BELIEVE that God IS all He says and that He can do anything,however He wants to do it! |
01/07/12Looking Back, Moving ForwardYesterday, I read over my journal from 2011. WOW! What a year of great victories, mountainous challenges, and abundant blessings. From January to December, I could read about the challenges I faced, how God was faithful, what I was learning through each challenge, and the end result of blessings! |

10/23/11What It Means to Be at PeaceAs God often does, He speaks to me in themes. The last few months has been teaching me about REST. No, not the kind when you take a nap or go to bed and sleep, but rest being the result of truly trusting God. |

07/19/11YIELDING to the SpiritSeveral years ago, I had a very dangerous car accident. This wreck, six years ago, was brought to my mind as I have recently studied how to walk by the Spirit. Paul says that if we walk by the Spirit, then we won't walk in the flesh. |
06/25/11Helping Others, Helping YourselfSometimes we need to step out of our own problems to help someone else. We can be given new perspective that empowers us to overcome obstacles in our lives, while also seeing things in their proper light. |

06/10/11Are you a BELIEVER?I have been so grateful this morning for the wonderful realization that, over the past five years, I have come to not only be a "Christian", a Christ follower, but a true BELIEVER! |
