Find Christian encouragement through God’s Word as you weather the obstacles and storms of your busy, everyday life.
Last week we looked at our walk with God. How is it going for you? This week I want to continue on the same topic, with a bit of a twist. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had an internal GPS system for following God’s direction in our lives? I was out-of-state a few weeks …
Happy Anniversary Busy Blessed Women! Exactly one year ago today, I published my very first blog post. The gifts from God have been extraordinary! From the beginning, I told myself that even if only one person took something positive away from this blog, then it was worth all the work. It took …
I went to my first writer’s conference last summer, and one of the things that stood out to me was their plea to start/keep writing. They told us that we were desperately needed. Why? Because we had no idea how many lonely people there are in the world. They need hope and the love of …
Did your parents ever have some go-to sayings to keep you in line while you were growing up? Years ago my Mom gave me a framed statement that said: “I’m The Mommy- That’s Why”. I’m not saying it was the best response, but after hearing “But Mom, Why?” many, many times, I’d resort to …

A few weeks ago I quoted Hannah in a blog post about our Rock. I’ve never done a blog post on just one particular person from the Bible. I do know if they’re in the Bible, it’s for a good reason! I wanted to know more. As I started reading 1 Samuel, I remembered …
Last week’s blog referenced Luke 17:4 when Jesus was teaching his disciples about forgiveness. They asked him to increase their faith in order for them to do what He asked. I felt a little stab in the heart when I read that verse. I’ve struggled a bit with forgiveness in my past. I’ve wrestled about …
My husband and I took a trip to Mystic, Connecticut while visiting our daughter who lives out east. The minute I saw this enormous anchor, I knew it would someday fit in with a blog post. Not long after, I read this Hebrews verse: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, …
Last week we did a little digging into Jesus’ command to his disciples to be the salt of the earth. This week I want to think about the rest of that teaching- Matthew 5:14 (NIV) “You are the light of the world.” I’ve loved lighthouses ever since I first saw them. I grew up within …
