I often find myself relating to Jesus, who would retreat in a boat to find solitude away from the crowds. Living on a sailboat provides me with plenty of time for deep reflection and personal conversations with my Creator. It’s in these moments of quiet that I hear His voice most clearly, and I do my best to share the insights, thoughts, and revelations from these sacred conversations with you here in this corner of our blog.
When David had to fight Goliath he stepped onto the battlefield alone. Everyone around him was gripped with fear at the giant that stood before them. Sometimes we will fight our battles on our own. We will need to rise above the fear that is in us, and combat the fight that is before us. […]

16 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 We were created to live an eternal life with God. Grace saved us so that we could choose life. The world might hurt us, and we
I can understand why the word says we have to become like little children. Every time I look at our grandchildren. I see that undeserved love, the love that they give without expectation. I pray that I may give that love, the love that can love and never want anything in return. Lord help me

I think this is one of the things I hear a lot in couples counseling… She/He never forgets what I did wrong and they are always throwing it back in my face. If we allow God to, He can and is able and willing to heal these hurts if we just give it to Him.
Now this is a love tap girls, isn’t God so amazing. Sometimes when we go to battle we return home, battled, bruised, and defeated. BUT God is saying NO…Return Home with your battle cry, shake your booty girls, and do your victory dance people. Today we will not return defeated we will return in victory

I love that we can know that this too shall pass. I hate the saying “every cloud has a silver lining”, It is the worst thing to say to anyone when they are going through the storms of life especially because it’s so easy to say when you are looking down from the mountaintop, while

My go-to verse is Hebrews 6:19. When life gets hard I have to remind myself of the hope we have in Jesus. This is my hope story.
As wives and mothers, we have a force within us that can protect our humans ferociously. I don’t know about you moms but touch my kids, and you will see the gangster in me… <grin> We sometimes forget while we are praying and giving so much of ourselves to give that little extra to the

I cling to you; your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:8 We cannot afford to live life without clinging to God. When I read this verse I realize that if we don’t cling to God we cant stay standing. The world can knock you down and then beat you… It can leave you flat on
This was for me an issue early in my walk with God. I wanted someone to tell me how to do it, to walk ahead. I didn’t have confidence that God would want to use me. That I had any quality that God could use.
The message that this passing week has echoed in my heart and my thoughts. It’s a story often told as a fairytale, a myth mentioned in families carried from generation to generation. A weekend planned with easter egg hunts and laughter around a fire, burning marshmallows and making jokes.

Isn’t this so true? I am so grateful that God gave me someone to share my love for God with. The more I love Andre the more I want to do for him. This includes the love I have for God and my kids, family, and friends. Love multiplies itself and I think that’s why
I love this verse it fills my heart with joy, it sets my feet on solid ground and my soul sores all in one breath… It puts butterflies in my stomach as I realize where I am. May the LORD reward you for what you have done, and may you receive a full reward from
“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead;
Lord, in the space between you and me, I can feel healing, acceptance and so much love.. thank you for reminding me of what you did on the cross when you came to rescue me. May I always tell everybody what you did for me.
I love to be loved, and I think giving love is even better. Just imagine if marriages could be fixed before we get a chance to break them. what a wonderful world that would be. Imagine if Marriages Could be fixed before we get a chance to break them!
There was a time when I was going through a terrible time being sick and trying to preach. It took so much out of me and I would ask God why would I be punished so terribly. As I did my bible study that morning I read: Hebrews 12:10 They disciplined us for a little
I want to play devil’s advocate for a minute… If God is love, do you think that people who don’t know God know how to love? If you don’t know how to love can you save a broken marriage or damaged people? It’s an interesting question and it was one of the verses that God
A Love Tap from Jesus We can be strong in the face of terror not because we are courageous but because the God in us is courageous. If you feel your courage slipping today don’t fear, God is strong enough for the both of you. I pray that you will have a courageous day, daring

I always try to do something loving for my husband, sometimes the day ends and all it was, was a cup of coffee. Imagine if all men knew that they were loved and important if they knew that we would not give up even if it got tough. Don’t overlook the impact of a kind
