Jesus promises that the burden He asks us to bear He will make bearable when we bring it to Him.

God does not always intervene. But He always comes alongside. He always offers comfort and promises that grief doesn’t last forever.

This life of travail won’t last forever either. By death or transformation, we will be freed from this earthly tent.

when I rest completely in Jehovah-Shalom, the LORD Who is Himself my Peace, I am safe. Not safe from all harm, but safe in His love and care

Jesus is the great Bridegroom and the church His Bride. Those of us who love Him, follow Him and wait for Him will not be disappointed!

Life often devastating filled with circumstances. That’s the bad news. But we don’t have to face them alone. That’s the good news.

My Heavenly Father's love is strong enough to hold me fast no matter what perils I face.

My heart can forget the truth when life falls apart. It's then I must remind it that God is faithful and His love endures forever.

You think...that you are forgotten because of your nothingness and weakness and poverty. This is the very reason you are remembered.

A pastor friend says, “Your misery is your ministry.” I think he’s right.

Life is hard. Death is awful. But thanks to Jesus, death doesn't have the last word.

Join me for a month of exploring what the Bible says about grief. It's a great way to begin a new year & to feed hope to your heart.

 I walk in two worlds–on earth and in heaven.  I savor the sweet joy of the “now” but ache for the even sweeter joy of the “forever”.

So much of this battle has been fought in my mind. Really, even more than my heart. What I dwell on makes a difference.

I’m learning to let go of offense. Not only because it is too heavy to carry in addition to my grief, but because the Lord commanded it.

Christ came for the broken.  It’s the broken and breathless who long for the Spirit to blow life across their wounded hearts.

"God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains." ~C.S. Lewis

Doubt is not denial. If someone is asking questions, they are still seeking. Jesus invited honest questions.

I may risk offending some of my fellow believers in Jesus but I will take that risk. While scripture is plain that God uses the events in...

"I prayed every day for my children.  I asked God to protect them, to give them wisdom, to draw them to Himself and to guide their steps."
