Stop And … Drink More Hot Chocolate Please!

hot chocolate

The saying usually goes "stop and smell the roses" but with winter here there's only the delights of hot chocolate to savor! Being a pastor's wife can sometimes be a full time job, and this month has been full force. With Thanksgiving parties, Christmas parties, shut in's, hospital visits, emergency calls, one of my best friends had her miracle baby, making handmade gifts, writing out cards, phone calls at all hours day and night and financial needs everywhere. The prayers just don't stop going up! And we wouldn't want it any other way! The busyness combined with my recent bout of bronchitis and strep throat has just got me so fatigued … [Read more...]

Standing By Faith Day By Day!

stand by faith day by day slider

I've been sharing my amazing testimony lately so I thought this would be an appropriate time to share how I walk by faith on a day to day basis. As we all know some days are easier, and some days are very difficult. Here are some of the "treasures" God has taught me on my journey of faith ... 1. BELIEVE! Luke 17:19 "And he (Jesus) said unto them. Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole" You MUST believe that God can do it! Questioning whether he can, doubting if he will, saying that he won't will stop God from doing it! James 1:6-8 "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like the wave of the sea … [Read more...]
