Grace!

Hello! Hello, hello, hello! So much has happened over the past year. I have a daughter now - thank you God! It has been quite THE year. Life, death, shut-ins, riots... It's been crazy, but one thing has stayed the same. God has been gracious and helps us through everything. I have been blessed and I am thankful. I didn't get to finish writing the summary of my bible study on the book of Peter, but I will return to it at some point.

I woke up this morning with a song written from my dreams. I hummed it, wrote it, then recorded it and will share it here! Since being pregnant with my daughter, I've wanted to capture my feelings about grace trumping my fear. God held me and was the strength I needed to stay hopeful that everything would be okay. It wasn't until today that I finally have the right words to pen down. The link to the song is in the title. I hope you enjoy this!

Grace Lifted Me
(Psalm 23)

Verse 1:
Though I walk
In the valley of the deep
I won’t fear
Cause grace lifted me

I will lie
In pastures that are green
I won’t fear
Cause grace lifted me

Chorus:
Grace lifted me so I won’t (3x)
I won’t fear

Verse2:
He will lead
Me by waters that are still
I won’t fear
Cause grace lifted me

He’ll restore
My broken wounded soul
I won’t fear
Cause grace lifted me

Chorus:
Grace lifted me so I won’t (3x)
I won’t fear

Insignificance: Parable of the Lost Son

Hello! Women's Prayer Call Series: Parable of the Lost Son Today I want to share my thoughts on the parable of the lost son which is found in Luke 15 verses 11 through 32. When I read through this parable last week, I felt led to talk about the struggle of feeling mentally lost and insignificant because of where you are right now - whatever those circumstances may be. I want you to look at this story and see how Jesus is telling us that God cares a lot about the wellbeing of each and every one of us. I want to encourage you to see how valuable you are to God right where you are. So you know where I’m going with this. Here’s a quick summary of the parable, and I think it’s a good idea to read it in the context of all of chapter 15. Jesus starts with a story of a man losing one of his sheep; he describes how the man leaves the other 99 sheep to go after the 1 that was lost. When the man finds the lost sheep, he puts the sheep on his shoulders, brings it home, and gathers his friends ...

Belly Check

I enjoyed reading Proverbs 20 . In Solomon's style of pointing out observations, he reminds us we need God's counsel to be the compass for our soul. I want to highlight my observations of his message to us. Our Compass : Proverbs 20:9-13 Solomon implores us to assess our actions through the lens of what's right in God's eyes. God is our guide and measurement for what is good and evil. Solomon's warning about sleep points to a spiritual slumber caused by not growing in our faith in God. This leads to an impoverished soul. Solomon says to "open thine eyes." We need to be alert and be aware of our spiritual state of being. We need to cultivate our spirit with God's word and direction. Solomon points out that when our eyes are open, we "shalt be satisfied with bread," meaning our soul will be filled. Our Counsel : Proverbs 20:5, 20:18, 20:24 I pondered over these verses for some time because I had a feeling there was something good that ne...

Proverbs: Our Teaching Tool

I am going to skip ahead of the many other things I wanted to write about to share what I read in  Proverbs 22 . This chapter became a pinnacle piece of Proverbs because it contains what I believe is an overarching goal of this book:  To give us certainty in the truth we are believing and to respond wisely to those that come our way with questions about our truth. Proverbs 22:17-21  says: 17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 19 That thy trust may be in the Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. 20 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, 21 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? Thank God for the wisdom he gave Solomon. The world is benefiting from the truths a...
