Welcome, it is time for another Siesta Scripture Memory Verse! Last week I chose Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful it its time. he ahs also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." As I was read "Where Is God?" by Dr. John Townsend, this verse jumped off the page and I knew I was suppose to memorize it. You see, I have

I chose another new song for this week for Then Sings My Soul Saturday. I was sitting here thinking about what song to post and decided to visit KLOVE to get a few ideas...well the video they had on their front page was by Tenth Avenue North called "You are More". It spoke to my heart in such a huge way because that is where I was ~ broken, ashamed, afraid, sad, lonely, bitter, confused and so

I chose Kerrie's Roberts song, No Matter What, for this week's Then Sings My Soul Saturday. Every time I hear this song it speaks to my heart. It is a very simple message - no matter what happens in this life we can still cling to the promises of God. Simple - yes. Easy - not always.I hope and pray this song touches your heart as it has mine. Have a blessed and wonderful weekend.Grace and

Wherever life takes you is a common slogan for various public transportation systems. It is true. You can hop on a bus and go anywhere in any given city. Or you can hop on a bus and travel across the country. I am not a public transportation passenger because life is more convenient to hop in my car and go where I need to go. I know a lot people rely on public transportation everyday. Of

Life isn't easy. You probably didn't need me to tell you that. We all experience the hardships and difficulties of this world. Sometimes those things can blind the way and we cannot see what is ahead. Thankfully God is our guide. He can lead us through those dark and difficult places as we look to him, our light and truth. We may struggle to know what to do and we may wonder - How are we

Well I'm late on this post ~ but it wasn't because the book wasn't read. I really enjoyed this book, The Last Christian by David Gregory.It is set in the future - 2088 A.D. Christianity has all but died out except for one believer, Abigail Caldwell. She has spent her entire life in the jungle and is forced to move into society after a tragedy strikes her village.

If you can answer yes to any of these questions then you have come to the right spot. :-) I am hosting a contest giving away bible studies from Women of Faith.

Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David Pratt is this month's book from Waterbrook Multnomah that I am blogging about. My free copy from the company came at a perfect time. I signed up for this blog tour awhile back and kind of forgot about it. When the book arrived, I was in the perfect place in my life to read it. The Lord has been working in my life about selfishness, pride,

Have you ever felt like God was far away? You cried out and heard nothing in response. There have been several times in my walk with God that I have felt like He was so far away and I wondered what went wrong. I had to remind myself that this walk with Him is a walk of faith and not of sight. Sometimes we have to rely on His word and the promises He has given to us not our feelings and the

If you could become a Women of Faith speaker what would you talk about?Wow what a tough question! But I think I narrowed it down (although the story would take hours to tell and is full of many lessons). I would speak from my heart about the adventure my family has been on for the past 9 years or so. We moved away from Maine to Michigan (w/ 5 children, the oldest was 8 and the youngest was 5

A few months ago, at a homeschool moms night out, I had the privilege of speaking with Suzanne. She opened my eyes to a little country in Africa called Swaziland. Never heard of it? Me either.

Once again I have been neglecting my blog except for writing book reviews and letting everyone know about the online conference. There are several reasons for my absence - decisions, homeschooling, responsibilities and no desire to write (or too tired to think of something).I must make a confession - I have not been content over the past couple of years.

I am blogging about another book, Yesterday's Promise by Linda Lee Chaikan, for Waterbrook Multanomah. Greed can be an ugly thing. It can take over your life and ruin your chance at true peace and contentment. Many times it also prevents us from truly loving those around us - our family, friends, spouses and the Lord. Several characters in this book are obsessed with wealth and power. It has

I have been reading a book for Waterbrook Multonomah called, The Golden Cross by Angela Elwell Hunt. This book is the second book in a series entitled The Heirs of Cahira O'Connor. These books are about a lineage of women, each descended from Cahira O'Connor, who each bear a similar marking of red hair with a white streak. The Golden Cross is about Aidan O'Connor, a young woman trying to find

Wow another week has quickly flown by!! This week I have chosen a song by Jason Gray called, More Like Falling in Love. I have heard it on the radio several times and have really grown to like it. It is so simple ~ our lives should be more like falling in love with Jesus than following a bunch of rules because his live can (and will) change us. Love it!! I hope you enjoy it! Happy

Welcome to Word-filled Wednesday!Since Valentine's Day is this coming Sunday I thought I would share a cute little graphic with a verse about love...but then I remembered what the pastor said a couple of weeks ago about loving the unlovely. He was talking about allowing God to love through us and not trying to love on our own. First we need to know: A love that is unconditional. He loved us so

I want to share another devotion with you for this Thankful Thursday. I am thankful for God's peace that he gives in every situation if we will rest in him. I have a difficult time sitting still before the Lord - well actually I have a difficult time sitting still period (unless I have a book or my Bible in my hand). My mind is always pondering this or that. But when I do take the time to

My mind has been pinging back and forth from grace to faithfulness as I sit here and ponder - "Which verse do I use this week?".  I can see God's grace clearly in my life and it is always a boost to my faith when I remember it. I do not deserve his forgiveness, love, protection, goodness, justice or mercy in my life.  I did not always realize my place, and on many occasions felt I should have

"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18I was sitting here tonight at my computer trying to decide on a verse for this week's Word-filled Wednesday. I was thinking back over the last few days and the various passages I have read - Joseph revealing himself to his brothers and being reunited with his family; Jesus feeding the 4,000 and 5,000;

My mother-in-law gave me a little book, Jesus Calling, Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young, as a gift for Christmas. The devotions are written as if Jesus was speaking them to you and are based on scripture. The first day resonated with my spirit and has continued to do so each morning as I spend time with it.I was amazed again this morning as God reaffirmed the scripture I used

This world can be full of many unknowns. We do not know what tomorrow has in store actually to be more precise we don't know what the next minute will hold.

Welcome to Then Sings My Soul Saturdays hosted by Amy @ Signs, Miracles and Wonders.I chose a song from one of my favorite groups, Third Day, and the song is called "Mountain of God". This song is a great reminder ~ no matter where we are in the valley or on the mountain top God is with us.  He has a plan and He desires for us to cooperate and allow Him to change us through the circumstances we

I am thankful for new beginnings. My life, and yours too I am sure, has been full of new beginnings - new jobs, relationships, babies, homes, and friends; on a grander scale I have been given a new beginning as a follower of Christ. I do not have to live in fear, shame, guilt or be burden down with life's failures anymore. Thank Jesus!I don't know what this year will bring but I am looking

I heard this song this summer at a mom's night out. We enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship, food and encouragement. The night ended with this song and it became a prayer from my heart. It is my desire to surrender to His ways and not seek to do them my way. I wanted to share it on TSMSS before this but other songs made it to the top of the list for various reasons. May this song speak to

There are many things to be thankful for, especially as you glance back over the previous year. God is good! It has been a year of waiting and a year full of uncertainty but we have learned so much. God's faithfulness never wavers, our hope in Him gives us peace, His love endures forever and gives us reason to press on, He knows what tomorrow brings and we can rest assure He will see us through

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11I read this verse this morning during my devotions and it spoke to my heart again. I needed the reminder that God has a future for me and that future does not include evil or calamity. He has thoughts of peace and a future of hope. Thank you

I am cheating and posting a song from last year called I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. Actually I did not remember posting it until I was searching for the lyrics. I stumbled upon the same website and realized I had posted it already. Last year the song was fairly new to me and I think I mentioned singing it only a few times in church. It was the article at What Saith the Scripture which

I chose this song because it is a call to worship not only for the angels and the shepherds who sang the day our Lord was born; but for all of us!  Read the Christmas story like it is your first time...think how the shepherds, Mary and Joseph must have felt.  And then worship the babe born in a manger who came to save the Lord.Luke 2:1-20  Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus,

It has been amazing to see the spiritual growth in my husband over the years. It hasn't always been easy or pleasant but he surrendered his life to the Lord. His desire is to serve the Lord - I couldn't ask for anything more. Does He always do the right thing? No. Is his heart in the right place (pointed toward the Lord)? Yes. I am praising the Lord for my husband - today and always.Maybe

Yesterday was Veterans Day - a day we set aside to thank those who have served in the armed forces. I posted about it for Word-filled Wednesday but I want to reiterate - I am thankful for their sacrifice and for the sacrifice of my Savior, Jesus Christ. But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin...You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

Freedom ~ a powerful word. If you live in a free country, like I do, then you have someone to thank for that freedom. In America, a lot of people have died to win and fight for the freedoms we enjoy. Today is Veterans Day (also called Remembrance or Armistice Day) - a wonderful day to give thanks to a veteran! November 11th is the anniversary for the signing of the Armistice that ended World

Wisdom - something we need every day to make decisions, the knowledge to live a godly life, giving advice and many other issues that may arise. We may know what to do because of  our experience in the past but many times we need to ask the Lord to provide us with wisdom.  The wisdom the Lord gives is: pure, peaceful, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

Am I living a life of faith, love and hope?  I know there are many times when I live in doubt, anger and fear.  But praise God He doesn't leave me in that place!  He desires to change me but I must do my part ~ surrender.  It isn't always easy but He is there all the time.For more Word-filled Wednesday visit Susan at Forever His.  Have a blessed WFW!Grace and peace to you,

This song, God of My Days by Gateway Worship, has touched my heart over and over again.  One of the first times I heard it I cried for joy because it brought to mind the many times God has been faithful to me. My eyes are on Him, my faith is in Him and He is my hope.  Praise His name!! Have a blessed Saturday!For more Then Sings My Soul Saturdays visit Amy @ Signs, Miracles and Wonders.

I love listening to Beth Moore!  She is one of my favorite Bible teachers.  The Lord has taught me many things through her teaching.  I want to share with you a series that I have been listening to Wednesdays with Beth on Light Source.  I know without a shadow of doubt that the Lord led me to this site - I really needed to hear Thriving in a Season of Chastising.  It has spoken to my heart in an

Today's post is dedicated to the Lord.For who You are and what You have done, accept my thanks, O LORD: I will sing of the tender mercies of the LORD forever!

We have been out and about this week with family enjoying the beautiful colors of fall.  This photo, taken this week, is one of my favorites.  I was reminded of this passage of scripture:How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!  2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates

Do you feel born again? Do you feel like you are living? Through the Lord Jesus Christ we can! I remember the feeling when I completely surrendered all of me to the Lord - my past, shame, guilt, sin...everything the good and the bad. I felt so free and clean - an amazing feeling! I chose Third Day's song, Born Again, because it is a wonderful reminder to me that I am a new person in Jesus

Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage, our hostess for Thankful Thursday, posted about an interesting topic - entitlements or riches. I think we all at one point in time felt entitled to something - maybe a raise, job, thanks for doing something, or simply peace and quiet. Been there before? I know I have. Lynn is right - those feelings lead to expectations. You expect something but many

Welcome to Word-filled Wednesday!! Didn't God do an awesome job with creating this wonderful world we live in? There is so much beauty ~ I love the colors of spring, summer, winter and autumn! Each season has something beautiful to enjoy ~ even the cold winter which I am not too fond of. We have to be willing to look beyond the negative (cold, wind, snow, ice...) to see it. There is nothing

Addison Road wrote this song after hearing a powerful sermon on Isaiah 6 according to Stereo Truth.   The  theme of this song in my opinion - God is so much bigger than we can ever imagine. Isaiah 6:1-5  In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.  2 Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with

Do you find yourself complaining when things go wrong?  Are you prone to counting your trials and not your blessings?  Lynn, the hostess for Thankful Thursday, mentioned in her post today that her mom would sing the song, Count Your Blessings, when Lynn and her brother would begin complaining.  I find it kind of amusing because that is one of the songs I sing when I feel myself going into the pit

Welcome to Word-filled Wednesday! The purpose of WFW is to share God's word through a photo and Bible verse. I love the Psalms! I can always find a verse that applies to my current situation. They are wonderful to personal in prayer and praise. Today I chose a verse from Psalm 1, which I have returned to time and time again. I love the word picture of verse 3. Isn't it a comfort to know I

Welcome to Thankful Thursday!  Our hostess this month is Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage. Be thankful - such a simple thing but so many times we find reasons not to give thanks.  The Lord has been so good to me and my family; I can't help but praise His name.  I am not referring to the things we have or the wealth we possess - we have very few things and we are definitely not wealthy.  I am

Welcome to the Homeschool Open House hosted by The Homeschool Lounge.  I am so glad you stopped by!  :-)We have 5 sons (ages 16 to 8) and have been homeschooling them for about 12 years.  Actually we have been homeschooling our oldest longer but did not call it homeschooling ~ we were preparing him for kindergarten. He was like a little sponge and loved to be read to, do flashcards, play games

I am sure every parent hears these words during the summer months: "I'm bored!" Well hopefully your kids will enjoy these fun activities as much as my boys did. A few weeks ago we had homemade game day and they each got to choose 3 games to make. They came up with the game, rules etc. My youngest son (8) made up a game using legos and beads...please don't ask me to explain it to you though

Note:  I will not be discussing the rapture just because it usually it a "hot" topic among many believers.  Honestly, I haven't decided yet what my viewpoint is on the rapture - I am either pre-tribulation or post-tribulation.  I have read a couple of books and thought I had it all figured but later on I would begin to question it.  At this point it doesn't matter when Jesus returns - I hang on

I think many believers feel we live in a safe little bubble here in the good ole USA but I have had the feeling for sometime that things would gradually change for those who want to practice their faith.  Prayer has been removed from school, 10 commandments removed from court houses, people being labeled narrow minded for believing in the One Way...the list could go on and I am sure there is a

The Lamb is worthy to take the scroll and open the seals because He was slain and purchased men from every nation, through His blood, to become priests and be part of God's kingdom.  He and the One who sits on the throne are worthy and blessing, honor, glory and power belong to them.  With that in mind let us step into chapter 6 as the Lamb opens the seals and reveals the things to come...As the
