Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tellContinue reading “Walking on Water”

On Your Knees
Written by: Judy Roche (My Momma!!) Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16 Recently, it occurred to me that our knees are pretty handy for us to have. Walking, running, bending down toContinue reading “On Your Knees”
It’s Been a While…
So, it’s been a while. Honestly, I have been wanting to write, but just couldn’t think of anything to write. I’ve been waiting on God. Waiting to see what He wants me to write about. I guess He had other ideas. So I waited. And I prayed. Do I have writer’s block? When I startedContinue reading “It’s Been a While…”
The Reason for the Season
Let’s talk about Christmas, the reason for the season. Jesus!!! God did an amazing thing on Christmas. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 For to us a child is born, to us aContinue reading “The Reason for the Season”
A different kind of Thanksgiving
I have to be honest, I have been struggling with writing lately. I guess you would call it writer’s block? But I am just going to assume that God just hasn’t wanted me to write anything lately. I told myself when I started this that I wanted each blog to be something that I wasContinue reading “A different kind of Thanksgiving”
Am I Worthy?
You know all those people you see? Those people on Instagram and Facebook? Those perfect families, perfect worship leaders, perfect pastors? Those people you compare yourself to? The ‘perfect’ ones? I know them. So many days I have sat in my own misery of judging myself and comparing myself to these people. Convincing myself thatContinue reading “Am I Worthy?”
Learning to find my identity in Jesus
I feel lost. I feel useless. I feel guilty. I feel angry. This season has been so hard! And I have gone back and forth in my head about sharing these feelings because I feel that as a Christian, maybe I shouldn’t feel this way. Shouldn’t I be looking for the good in everything? Shouldn’tContinue reading “Learning to find my identity in Jesus”
Are you there God?
Change… learning from mistakes and failures… heartbreaks… all of these suck! Sorry, but it’s how I feel. I mean, why do we have to go through bad things? When I was younger, I used to wonder this all the time. If God is such a good God, then why do bad things happen? If GodContinue reading “Are you there God?”
End times? One has to wonder
My sweet friend Marcia Caine is a blogger as well, and has sweetly allowed me to share one of her blogs on my site. This is such a relevant blog in these times and such a good reminder that we need to be ready and stay alert. And most of all, ‘roll up our sleevesContinue reading “End times? One has to wonder”
Forgiveness
This is a tough one. Just the word forgiveness makes me squirm. It makes me think that I’m letting people off, for some reason. Like I’m saying, what you did is OK. It took me a long time to learn that is not what it’s about. I remembered a sermon from years ago that taughtContinue reading “Forgiveness”
