Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe

Eliana is home from school today. Yesterday afternoon, she had her first encounter with a bee. As it turns out, their relationship isn’t that great…

At first everything seemed pretty normal. Elle got stung and she cried. I get that. It scared her and I’m sure it hurt. But then, after getting home and giving her medicine, the swelling kept getting worse. When she started complaining of itching on her trunk, my radar turned up a bit. And, then, I saw her very pretty, red and bumpy eyelids, and I knew it was time to go.

What Does God Want From Me

For the past few weeks, this question has been going around and around in my brain. For a while, everything was going along rather smoothly. Brad’s job was going well, the kids were enjoying their summer vacation, and I was actually writing. (Somewhat consistently, even.)

Freedom Series: A Recap

Freedom

Over the past five days, I wrote a series of posts on Freedom. It seemed pretty appropriate as the United States was celebrating its Independence Day. And, as I was going over all of the Freedoms given to us from God, I was struck at how much there is for us to be thankful for.

As a recap, I thought I would go back and share a quick summary of each post and the verses that have stayed with me throughout the week. Be sure to click on the links after the verses to read the entire post!

A couple of weeks ago, I went in for a physical. I had been putting it off for a while, so I was overdue for a few things. As my doctor started to list off all the tests she recommended, I started to get a bit panicky… It wasn’t that I didn’t know what she was talking about, or what it all meant, it was just the sheer number of tests that made my pulse go a little bit faster as the appointment went on…

So, I had all my blood tests, and some other things done, and all the results kept coming back great!

But, then I got a call from radiology.

When Brad and I were first studying the Bible, one of my biggest struggles was understanding how God could give me Freedom from my Guilt and Shame. I had a really hard time wrapping my brain around how He could find me worthy of His grace and forgiveness.
